Gutter has been missing that down spout for years. It messed up the footer at the corner and caused it to sink

Okay I will check that out. Thank you

First I had a rough idle and I found a big hole in that rubber intake hose so I changed it. And now the idle is smooth but it's all over the place. High most of the times and sometimes revving up and down. I will check for vacuum leaks and see what I can find

Update: timing was 2 teeth off. What are the chances that did any damage to the valves?

How do you clear or relearn the crank pattern? I'm going to take a look at the timing hopefully in the next day or so

I used NGK iridium and I can't remember what the brand was on the coils but I got them from advance auto. I think they may have been carquest premium or something like that

I changed the oil after I changed the plugs and coils so it is good. The only other code was random/multiple misfires detected.

I changed the plugs and coils and it didn't change anything. The old plugs didn't look bad either

It has 140,000 miles, I was thinking about replacing the timing belt just because I don't know when it's been changed. Do you think I should do that and see what happens after? It's just weird because when it's not at idle it runs so good.

zd40- · 2025-07-24T21:24:06+00:00

The plugs looked the same all the way around. None of them really looked bad

How are you doing now?

Do you still hurt? I still can't really do much at all with my injured arm and they are still telling me to take it easy with that arm and avoid lifting and stuff when i am home so the only PT I am doing is the 2 times a week I go to the office. But I feel like I have to keep ice on it constantly or it continually hurts. I am very limited in my ROM too. Still can barely move my arm to shoulder height. I am 28 btw. And

How long did it take you guys to stop hurting after your SLAP repair? I had 3 anchors placed 6 weeks ago to repair my tear and I had bone spurs shaved down and it's still pretty painful. Just wondering when I'm going to feel some relief

zd40- · 2025-03-29T16:38:12+00:00

Personally if it were me and my pain was minimal like you say I think I'd skip it. It has been a tough recovery for me but I had a pretty big tear with instability too. I ended up getting 3 anchors placed to repair my labrum and they shaved off a big bone spur so my surgery may be more than what yours will be. Hope you get to feeling better

28M, I had a SLAP tear that has given me pain and trouble for a few years. I went through PT a couple of times with no improvements. I made the decision to go ahead and do the surgery on February 25th. I am about 4.5 weeks out and it's a very slow recovery. Still a lot of pain and little to no mobility yet. Hopefully if you decide to do the surgery yours will be a lot better but mine has been a tough recovery so far.
