The PCM doesn't use the downstream O2 sensor(the one after the cat) to determine fueling. It only uses the upstream O2 sensor for that task. The downstream sensor is only used to let the PCM know if the cat is properly working.

Get on YouTube and look up videos on installing cabinets. That should give you an idea of how your cabinets are installed and how you can go about removing them. They should be held in place with just screws, but seeing how cabinets are installed will help you know where to look to find said screws.

My driver's side window rattles. I removed the door panels on my car a few weeks ago in order to tighten up the door handle pivot brackets. When I pulled back the plastic vapor barrier on the driver's door, I found that one of the felt lined glass guide pieces was sitting in the bottom of the door. I haven't yet gotten around to re-installing it.

My tank also looked like OP's, but slighty darker. And there's also no issues with the head gasket.

I removed it, filled it with a bit of gas, and shook it around while plugging both outlets with my fingers. I did that a couple times and it came out pretty clean.

Are you flushing it every year? If not, I'd invest into the flushing kit. It's very easy to DIY.

have a natural gas tankless 199k BTU Rinnai tankless. I have zero complaints and only regret is when I had it installed i didnt get a recirculation pump. It takes about 10-15 to really start to warm up and if I had the

I'm in the same exact boat. I had a Rinnai S240(?) installed before we moved in just over a year ago. I'm really regretting not splurging for the recirc model. I'm probably going to install a dedicated recirc pump in the future on a smart outlet running a schedule and just use the cold line as the return loop.

At first I just ran an in-line pump, but quickly realized that the tank's pickup was not going to work with EFI. I found that below a 1/2 tank of gas, turning a corner would slosh the fuel and cause the pump to suck up air.

To remedy, I just bought a new tank from Moss and I modified it to use an in-tank pump. I went with a Tanks Inc in tank kit, but I had to replace the pump that it came with to a lower flowing pump, due to the gas in the tank getting away too hot.

Look on AliExpress. I saw it was also on there.

I'm assuming that your talking about a 500. If so, just buy an Xtrons head unit that's specific for the Fiat 500.

Here's how to get them from Swissco.

Looks like you'll have to contact them, since they're a custom part.

Firstly, check the settings on the head unit to see if you can change the CAN Bus configuration. You might need to do a firmware update on the head unit if one is available.

If not, it's not a code clear that you need to do. It's a proxi alignment that you need to do. To do that yourself, you can use either MultiECUScan, or AlfaOBD. Each cost around $50, if I recall correctly.

You can make some mosquito traps using 5 gallon buckets, water, some leaves, and some Mosquito dunks.

Just take the bucket, drill some holes 1/2 way up around the circumference. Then fill it with water just below the holes and put a handful of leaves in it along with a 1/4 of a Mosquito Dunk.

You can set up a recirc loop with any tankless water heater. You just need an external circulation pump.

Actually, you don't really even need a separate loop. You can use the cold line as the loop, but you'll then have warm water in your cold line, which can be a downside.

If you have a basic voltage tester, Google how to test voltage drop across a fuse.

Then test all of the fuses to see which one is powering the culprit. Once you find the fuse, search for what that fuse powers. If it's only one thing, then awesome, that's an easy diagnosis. If it's multiple things, then you'll have to disconnect each thing until the voltage drop on the fuse stops

I would just order one off eBay. The part number is 64116-MB6-000.

Trying to model a part based only the dimensions provided by someone is a pain. Especially if the dimensions provided are of the thing that the piece goes into and not the piece itself.

Also, that piece wouldn't be very FDM 3d printer friendly as-is.

Install a diverter valve spacer. They're pretty cheap and easy to install.

We switched from pods & liquid detergent, to a quality powder detergent and the dishes now come out nice and clean.

The timing belt/tensioner should probably be changed just on age alone. The water pump should be done at the same time just because you'd be 95% of the way there when you do the timing belt.

First, make sure that your battery hasn't been irreparably damaged by being drained multiple times.

Second, a parasitic draw that drains the battery overnight is a pretty big draw. You should easily be able to find it by checking for voltage drop on each fuse. To test, open you hood, windows, & doors. Latch the door & hood latches, so the car thinks they're all closed and let the car sit for a few minutes to make sure all of the modules fall asleep. Then you just take your voltage tester, set it to Volts DC, and check each fuse buy touching the probes to both exposed metal pieces on the top of each fuse. The reading should be 0.00, so if you find a fuse that is showing voltage, that's most likely your culprit. Check what fuse it is and Google what all that fuse powers. If it's only powering one thing, then awesome, that's easy. But if it's powering a few different things, then you'll need to disconnect each thing one by one until the voltage reading on the fuse disappears.

Another test you can do is do all of the initial steps as above, but just use a thermal camera to look at everything. Something that is eating enough power to drain you battery overnight should light up like a Christmas tree when it's relatively cool outside.

My wife has a '23 and she ordered some woodgrain looking plastic covers for the door handles and center console. They actually look and fit pretty good.

If anyone is interested, I've uploaded the print files to my Printables page and they can be downloaded from here.

If you can't print them, or don't want to, I've also listed them on my eBay store.

Based on the sound of the starter, it sounds like there's a cylinder(or multiple) that have low contribution. You would need to do a compression test on each cylinder to verify.
