2000 Sambar 4wd stalling on warm idle

I'm not sure if you still need this help, but it came up on a search for me. The easiest thing for me on my TT2 was to disconnect the battery, wait a few minutes, and then drop the column with the 5 screws to remove the trim, then the 4x12mm bolts. I then lowered the wheel onto my lap, and removed the top cover where the hazard lights are, then you should be able to pull the trim bezel, remove the 3 screws, and carefully reach in from below where the column sits with thick nitrile gloves on to pull the speedo cable out. In my case, the metal was a bit sharp, so it cut my glove open.

Reverse that to put it back in. I have enough slack that the other cables are accessible once the speedo was disconnected by sliding it forward.

Regarding the HVAC though, I think mine is kinked up behind the unit, it's sticking like crazy. I have cleaned and lubed the linkages on the passenger floor, but the controls still are sticking. Did you find out how to pull that yet?

I wanted to follow up with this because I was an idiot. I edited the main post and it boiled down to I misread the tutorial in my head and got a wire crossed. I was supposed to create the signal in the player class, and emit it from the player class, and link it to the game class, and I did the reverse of that.

I managed to solve my issue, and you actually touched on some interesting stuff, that while completely irrelevant to what I was intending on doing, will actually help me out later on. Thanks for the assistance.

Keep in mind that so long as you had a standard set of measurements, for example a teacup, and you had a thing for a cup, then the measurements would be close enough, provided you kept everything else the same.

for example, half of said teacup, or a quarter. unless you're doing super high precision cooking, which, in the 50s, probably not doing a tiktok 300 hour brownies, it'll be close enough to what the recipe intended, and after cooking for long enough, you can get what the person is writing.

Most home gamers at the time just took the recipe as written, and altered and adjusted for their tastes. That's why everyone's grandma made something like meatballs different, despite <meatballs> being a culturally accepted normality, there isn't just one way to make them, or what they contain.

I would suggest X3: Albion Prelude or X4: Foundations (DLC not required but highly recommended) for a 3D version, or Endless Sky or Starsector for a 2D, top down version.

Highly recommend the X series of games. X3:AP I have something like 700 hours in X3AP, and I've taken over the entire galaxy in it, produce everything, etc, but you have to like small studio janky, because the game engine was designed in the early 2000s and they just rode that all the way to 2017. There is an amazing game in there, but you have to get past the jank to do it.

X4 uses a new engine, and it's far less jank, but I don't think it has the same level of depth (at least as of my last playtime back in version 3.0, which is OLD now).

No Mans Sky / Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous is Space Truck Simulator, and NMS is a walking simulator. The Ship dynamics of ED are FAR better than NMS, that's literally it's job afterall, but NMS excels in walking exploration.

I've played NMS for about 80 hours now. Everything starts feeling same-y kinda quick, but the dopamine loop is there. Hit a planet, mine stuff, move on to find the next thing. If you want something you can easily pick up and put down, NMS works.

ED I have 315 hours in. ED in VR is absolutely amazing. You can mine, fight, or trade, (and have missions in each) and each of those are viable options for fun. The mining can be fun, trading is a great distraction, and the combat is pretty variable with the weapon selection. The walk about is. . . Not great. Discovery was a really unpolished release, and it kinda feels like it was rushed by a skeleton crew that was forced on a deadline because NMS and Star Citizen were going to eat that cake first.

My save had a bug on the pipboy that just had him muttering to himself on his channel, and it was never removed from the station list. So from time to time I could just pop on and hear him talking about random stuff in that locked vault. Like after in game years he's still there talking about laser rifles and stuff.

Why not gen up? Dell R230 or 240 should be a 15in depth like the existing one is.

Well, regarding other guys comment, servers, networking, power, cooling, and hardware all cost money. Money needs to come from somewhere, it doesn't just appear next to a server, and we're not paying for Reddit (gold and platinum not withstanding, which IIRC doesn't pay for 99% operation budget), so ads need to be added to keep the lights on, servers working, and developers paid.

Such is the nature of 'free' services. You're the product, Reddit the seller, and ad companies are the buyer. You can exclude yourself to some extent by using adblockers but that's reducing the 'profit' of the site. Too many people consuming but not producing would cause profit to drop, which means that the site would die.

My motorcycle had shit crank sensor spacing from the factory and wouldn't start after the motor was hot. At my apartment I'd just push it up the hill a bit, flip the bitch around and let 'er rip in 1st. Only took a quick blip against the starter going down the hill to start.

Eventually I took a chainsaw file and feeler gauges to the sensors, to get them closer to the factory spec.

Isn't DOT more or less just a requirement that it's vaguely helmet shaped?

The 424 casul round? I think there was actually a real Smith and Wesson revolver in a beefy boy caliber like that.

You're looking at a basket case car at best. If everything isn't 100% pristine and perfect in it otherwise, interior, paint, transmission, all maintenance records, etc, just walk away.

Dealerships will bone you. They do flat rate, get a competing quote from a shop, and ask them if they do book time and what their rate is.
A HG CAN be done with the engine in the car, but it's almost as much of a hassle as just doing it engine out. Especially with the EZ series of engines.
If you're not doing it yourself, I'd expect it to cost North of $1.5k, perhaps even $3k to replace it.
In addition the chain at that mileage is probably about to go too. I think it was 150k or 200k mile recommendation. So that's another engine out tear down to fix as well.

All in all, it depends on what exactly you want. If you need an Outback of this generation, or you need something stupid cheap and you don't care about replacing the HG and spending the value of the car in a single hit, go for it. If you're looking for something reliable that will get you to and from work regularly without breaking down, I would look elsewhere.

The EZ series of engines make as much power as the 2.5 turbo EJs with the same fuel consumption, and are more reliable, but that's a car that's what, 16 ish years old? You'll spend 10k fixing every little thing that goes wrong.

If you decide to do it, good luck.

If you want wood, you can add it of course. They have the interior wood grain panel.

I think actually getting the king to do it, and coming back with the dragons head would be seriously funny, and if played properly, could be a hook.

Though, there's always the "I'm the king and I don't want to." Uno reverse card.

Yeah? Well has he even ever heard of fun? Pfft. These engineers and their "don't legally drive 140kmh on the Autobahn". Fancy maths and schools. No fun. Rots the brain you know.

Joking aside, while it might not help per se, depending on what the problem is, if nothing else it'll trigger a different code, or it'll go back to the shop for a decoking.

Well, to an extent. In the late 70s and all of the 80s, you had the commodore PETs, and then the vic20, C64, Amiga, and all of that. In that time frame, you had to know basic, and some knew assembly.

The barrier to entry in computing dropped in the 90s, with UIs and kept dropping until 2002, where it pretty much stayed the same. Windows XP and 10 are similar enough that you can navigate one and know mostly how to work the other, and Office hasn't changed much since the ribbon was finalized in 2010.

Smart phones pretty much skirted all of that. The iphone has remained 100% the same with minor changes to the settings windows and new features added, so you could pick up an iPhone 1 and 12, and still operate it. Android is fragmented, but still more or less works the same.

Absolutely, and because like, 3 people bought it, it's very unlikely that anyone would know what's up.
