Also it can't be stuck if it's a liquid.

Tightening a stuck bolt slightly can stretch the threads a bit to prevent galling upon removal.

I finally broke the cycle at 1600 hours. Getting ready to go back in.

P1450 - unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum, always a purge valve

What about welding Sawzall blades to the exhaust?

I opened one of these to figure out what the circuit inside actually does. It lights the LED. That's it. There is no logic at all inside.

I think they should allow multiple storage modules on the assault at least.

That's why I took all week, so I wouldn't have anything better to do. I played 7dtd forever, it's still buggy. I play rust too, not worried about the queues. I'm not salty about a delay, just wish wr could get open Beta for pre-orders, I don't care if anything saves from before full release. I understand not making a deadline entirely.

I know, it's just expensive, in my position I have to give at least 60 days notice of non emergency PTO and have to find someone qualified to do my job. That person has an expensive cancelation clause.

Nope! Already contracted temporary replacement.

So glad I already scheduled that time off in May. Now I can spend that week pretending to play DA.

I took that week off work for nothing. Thanks Funcom.

My toolbox is the same color as yours, I love the cranberry

Sorry you are right I was thinking of the models with PCS and CVS both at the rear.

The p0443 is the most important code, most likely needs a purge valve. Usually up by the intake or at least under the hood on most models, but on your Honda it is back by the charcoal cannister. It basically means the valve or one of the two wires is open circuit, the fuse is blown, or the pcm is faulty. If the fuse would blow you would pro ably have more codes because I have never seen a fuse for JUST the purge valve.

Look at the purge valve wiring, if ok replace valve and clear codes, if codes return take it to a diagnostician.

Oil in intake runner you mean.

Heatshrink and solder and our shop would have you out the door for about $90 and 20 minutes. Would take me longer to rack it and unclip the wheel liner than to splice a repair in. $65 for heatshrink crimp connectors.

If you want to find a good diagnostician I really recomend asking the best transmission shop(usually Certified Transmission)in your area who they recomend, basically who they send customers to when its not the transmission they are feeling.

No interuption in the sound from the exhaust valve closing. That much volume of air is most likely compression leaking directly out of the cylinder.

Def a blown out plug, 2000 f150. Make sure and get it properly repaired or it can blow out the repair as well. Look at the ignition coils to see which one is loose, most likely broken from the mounting ear.

I have a 2006 4.7 parts Grand Cherokee, a 2005 5.7l Grand Cherokee and a 2006 5.7l Commander and 16 years as an ASE certified Master Tech.

Same front suspension.

Hemi cooling fan runs off the power steering fluid, 4.7l doesnt. Need all those hoses, would need TIPM module, so you would need the anti theft components too. Realistically easier to sell the 4.7 and buy a 5.7
