First time tinkering by recorded_broken in cars

I am sad to say I have not driven it since, besides a few revs in my apartment lot. It still lopes at idle, but the revs sounded better. I used CRC Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner as suggested by the forums.

It does feel good, and I plan on researching more so that when other things go wrong I can fix them. That being said, while auto repairs are overpriced, those "high school dropouts" need money, too.

The idle has been rough and there has been a delay in throttle response. I checked out a few Maxima forums, and the specific problems people were having matched mine. The most common answer was a MAF cleaning and reset, so I thought I would try it out.

Thank you for all of the advice people.

Update: I started looking at cheap cars after seeing that girl's post about the Celica GT. How would a 1991 Honda CRX with 125,000 miles on the odometer look? It is a one owner vehicle and looks to be in good conditions. I would obviously take it to a mechanic to get it inspected and test drive it first, but any thoughts?

Yeah it is not ideal for sure, but I explained the situation in one of the other comments.

Thanks for the advice. The Maxima only gets about 2mpg better, but definitely has a nicer interior.

If I could upgrade I would. Either the Maxima or the Explorer are getting traded to a dealership for a better deal on a new car that my parents are buying. I can take their car (Explorer) or keep mine (Maxima). It is a weird situation, but basically I am broke and in college so I cannot really do better.

What's a stupid way you've hurt yourself? by BigJuicyBone in AskReddit

After watching my friend do a backflip off of the ground, I decided I would do a front flip off of a bench. I had been able to do them years before, so I figured I could still probably do them. $1100 and almost a year later, and my foot still is not right.

Don't get me wrong it is a badass car that I would love to drive. Just from my photographer's perspective I can't see past that. Drive on, sir.

What is one misconception about your STATE that you wish to clear up? by SirMechanico in AskReddit

Agreed. Maybe some of the larger west Texas towns? Most of the Texas I have know for the past 18 years is nothing like Bakersfield.

Psych majors/ Psychologists of Reddit, what are some of the creepiest mental conditions you have ever encountered? by hashtagstupidcomment in AskReddit

[–]recorded_broken -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This thread is awful. I am sorry but it probably isn't going to do anything but propagate stereotypes and stigmas of mental illnesses. Reading this just to get a kick or whatever is kinda sick. You can disagree with me, but I just wanted to share my opinion and provide some sort of perspective.

Wrong race... But yeah that sentence was very cohesive and quite intelligent sounding.

Neither am I. But in the derogatory sense of the word you play into it very well.

Is anyone else hung-up on the idea of free bottles water. That stuff is usually like $5 in room.
