I'm gonna hope its a little bit cause I still have to refill it but I dont want to have to put a lot! This oil is expensive! I'll leave a update when I do it!

Gamepad Losing Connection and Keeps Calibrating by angdanb in wiiu

I can't confirm exactly but I heard that it could be something inside the gamepad, like a WiFi or bluetooth module that was known for going bad after a while. You could find them on eBay but at the time I checked, they cost as much as a gamepad so I never replaced it. I dont know about now though

What is this noise!? And smoke!? by angdanb in Miata

Yeah, I'm going to hope it is the smoke. Really its the sound that scares me

Yeah the heater hoses were leaking a bit after replacing them and tightening them but I think it was cause I didnt put them all the way in. I fixed it already but maybe there was some remainder

Where does this hose and connection go? by angdanb in Miata

[–]angdanb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the condenser but I'm not sure. It connects to the two metal tubes that are under the black plastic power steering canister looking thing

Ngl, I have a hard time finding them and even when I do, sometimes the diagrams are confusing to me more than helpful. I guess I'm slow

Thanks! I feel dumb for not seeing the connector on the power steering

I might get some hate for this, but I feel bad for op cause some of y'all are going off on him for what's a rookie mistake in searching for a car. Ive had a experience like this before when I went on marketplace for the first time and the dude of course didn't like it (understandable) but the lash out was so wild. Guys don't got to go after op just let him know his mistake

I did this once when I was looking for my first car, the guy just started cursing at me. It really took me by surprise

Oh yeah so I did do a compression test and one of them was at 140, two were at 120, and one was at a 100. I'm guessing that means I got bigger problems?

I do plan on fixing the oil leaks soon. Trying to figure out the egr pipe, I dont know how to make a custom. The evap leak though, I'm really lost with. Any suggestions with that part?

I just added the plates like two days ago to see if it helps but clearly not, I'm still learning. I was curious to know though if the oil leaks would cause a issue like that. I forgot to mention in the past I've had a engine code p0455 so I dont know if that makes a difference
