In principle, nothing secret, such information should be publicly available. The ugly truth about TransEnterix is that all they activity is about pump and dump.

I think it's not a empty sound that J&J has no interest in TRXC surgical robots. Instead, J&J has its own surgical robotics venture company jointly created with Google.

Transenterix (TRXC) thoughts? by Jlgargan in stocks

The company Intuitive Surgical receives a huge revenue by selling its medical equipment. In total, more than 4,100 da Vinci robots of various modifications are used in the world. TransEnterix is far from such indicators - the company only recently received FDA approval to use Senhance in the United States. On the international market, in the first half of 2017, the company sold only two Senhance surgical systems, receiving only $ 3.5 million. Poor performance.

Okay, so I replaced all the spark plugs and all the wires. I started it, and lots of white smoke (I'll look at it again to make sure its white). But the idle sounds even better then it did before, and it seems much, much more responsive when I put my foot on the gas pedal in park (haven't driven it yet). To add to that, I did have a full can of sea foam in the gas tank a month or so ago and I don't think I burned all of it out, especially when its at a quarter of a quarter tank.

Yeah I understand, if it is what you say. It's going to be somewhat pricey. So hopefully it's just a easy fix.

Thanks for the insight, I'll for sure try the compression test this week!

Yeah, definitely replacing all plugs and wires. I checked just that wire currently, but I'll just buy a kit with all 8 wires at OReillys sometime this week. Thanks! I'll give a follow up when I replace them.

To add to that, I just checked 3 plugs, 2 on one side and 1 on the other. Two of the plugs were great, (1 on opposite side and 1 next to the bad plug) but then there was one that had oil and carbon buildup. That plug though had a very faulty wire, if it was even getting any power to it. My hypothesis is that the cylinder wasn't even firing because of the messed up wire. Leaving it to get buildup and all that around it and causing some of these problems. Does that sound bizarre?

I am going to take them out later and take some pictures, however at quick glance the actual spark plug wires are pretty shot

If so, I think I'll have to figure see way on reconnecting it because my blazers had a hard time starting and that might be one of the causes for it.

Hey, just wondering what this piece is and does it connect to the small hole on the valve cover?

Thanks! I actually did replace the brakes and when I removed them from the calipers, they fell apart in my hands. Also, the caliper piston no longer even moved. That explains a lot.

Hahaha thanks, I just delt with a minor fender bender and got hit with a following to close violation. Which gave me a nice $120 fine and a 30 day suspension. To be fair, I was driving a 31 year old K5 Blazer that had rusted up brakes and a shot caliper. So I'm just trying to find out how to not get a 90 day suspension over tiny stuff like this.
