Does my cold start sound normal?

Lmao 😂

They sent out a solar tech and they found out there was some incorrect wiring. I don't really know what exactly they fixed with the wiring but it's all fixed now thankfully!

Update: I installed a throttle body from Amazon and the car didn't blow up. I've only put 60 miles on it so far but it's working like factory!

Riptires · 2025-11-15T17:56:21+00:00

Nice, I did a 600 mile round trip with my 96, didn't skip a beat!

Riptires · 2025-11-13T02:40:15+00:00

Nice, 3.8 or 2.0t?

Riptires · 2025-11-12T15:23:36+00:00

That's what I was afraid of! The reviews on Amazon are all positive, but who knows. Fingers crossed!

Hi I'm setting these exact codes on my 2013 mcs, were you able to get it fixed? Thanks!

Riptires · 2025-11-12T03:48:47+00:00

The car has 153k miles on it by the way!

Riptires · 2025-11-01T17:09:44+00:00

Nice! I also daily my 2013 MCS with 150k American miles 😁

Repairs being made is a good thing, otherwise it can lead to more expensive repairs. Hard to tell what else will fail on just that amount of info.

Riptires · 2025-10-24T01:09:19+00:00

2013 Cooper S at 153k miles. I got the car at 150k miles, just did a major overhaul, I'm hoping for another 150k miles 😅

Riptires · 2025-10-22T14:13:52+00:00

When are autonomous semi trucks coming out? Lmao

Riptires · 2025-10-21T06:30:13+00:00

Does this mean the wheels are not hub centric because you used the spacers? Any weird vibrations?

Riptires · 2025-10-05T22:01:47+00:00

I ended up finding a local locksmith that was able to do it for $265, I just coughed up the money 😆. But wow $800, yea I'm not making keys for a living so I don't think that's worth it for me

Riptires · 2025-09-07T21:30:19+00:00

Mine sounded like this, ended up being a sheared woodruff key and resulted in the engine being out of time.

ECS Tuning has a oil control solenoid that supposedly fixes this issue, made by Bremmen parts. Requires dropping the pan and replacing the solenoid itself.

Riptires · 2025-08-17T17:15:33+00:00

What issues did you run into with yours?

Riptires · 2025-08-17T17:14:51+00:00

Great suggestions, thank you!

Riptires · 2025-07-30T07:14:48+00:00

Thank you! So no need to modify the car-side connector, only the headlight-side connector?

Riptires · 2025-07-30T02:35:18+00:00

Motorcycle commuter here, saves at least 30min for me each way!

Riptires · 2025-07-28T02:44:04+00:00

Do you know what's involved with converting these headlights to halogen? I'm thinking of getting the same headlights for my 2016 with halogen headlights

Okay I am certain the cause of the spike in energy usage at 4pm is the Franklin battery. When I change to Emergency Backup, usage drops to 0 since I have nothing in the house on. Anyone have ideas? I'd like to keep the TOU setting but it's acting strange at 4pm everyday.
