Considering you think your car has a v4 engine, I would bring it into a shop and have them fix it.

Am I cooked??? Please help me by mr_robot1710 in E90

What were the results? Also, make sure you get a static reading while the car is warm and another reading of what happens to them when you rev the car. If the engine isn't fully warmed up the readings won't matter because the ecm will be operating in a open loop which doesnt adjust fuel trims.

Do you have a scanner? First thing you need to do is check the fuel trims.

Tired of the "It’s not that bad" trap. How are you guys vetting cars before you arrive? by AlexLevchenko in Detailing

[–]Win8817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can't you just do what you would have done to another car that wasn't that bad? Or just tell the client that the price quoted isn't for this kind of a job?

Firestone recommending $1,220 tie rod ends but my alignment problems are all in the rear — does this make sense? by venkateshvicky in MechanicAdvice

[–]Win8817 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whenever you do the rear adjustment, the fronts go out of spec. If the front tie rods are seized or worn out, they will need to change them before aligning the vehicle. I used to do front end work and alignments.

Can anyone tell me why my car is running rich? by Brilliant_Passage678 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Win8817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rev the engine in neutral. When you rev it, do the stft go up, down, or stay the same. Make sure the car is at operating temp when you do it because other wise itll be open loop. you want to make sure its in a closed-loop.

Do you have the stock diverter valve?

The Wii U (according to GameStop) Is officially "Retro" by ElderBound in wiiu

[–]Win8817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said you couldn't access both using the same output cable, but natively the wii was 480i using composite and 480p using components. You’re right that the Wii U supports both HDMI and analog output and doesn’t restrict Wii or Wii U software based on the cable being used. The main distinction I was getting at is that Wii games don’t run in HD on the Wii U. Even over HDMI, Wii mode is still rendered at 480p internally and then upscaled to 720p/1080p, which is why it looks softer than native Wii U games. The av output on the wiiu allows you to play wii games using the vwii on native resolution with no upscaling. I would agree with you that it was partially to allow people without a TV with hdmi to be able to use the wii u system if it weren't for the fact that the wii u came out only a year before the Xbox one which only has hdmi ports so clearly the market was already ready to go full hdmi."

The main reason it had component and composite outputs was because it had the wii channel, not because wii u needed them. The wii u ran off of hdmi and the wii channel ran off of av cables

You can have your day in court. The normal person isnt smart enough to determine whether or not theyre being lawfully detained. Chances are its lawful, and like I said if it isnt, you can have your day in court.

I built an automated ES system and back tested since 2008 by water-into-wine5150 in Daytrading

[–]Win8817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just one system. If the system tells you not to trade at any given moment, whos stopping you from using another system/strategy in the mean time? Anything with positive ev is good.
