    Misfire woes

    I suddenly remembered that the AP doesn’t use a specialized USB cable. Not sure why I was thinking it did. Anyway, my current computer only has USBC ports and my USBA -> USBC adapter doesn’t appear work with the AP for some reason. My computer can’t find the AP. Anyway, I’ll have to get a...

    Electrical issue: power locks, interior lights, turn signal

    Also, it’s not intermittent. All of the issues showed up suddenly and haven’t gone away.

    Electrical issue: power locks, interior lights, turn signal

    Yeah I need to investigate more. I should check every fuse and relay and also the wiring as you say, though figuring out wiring is my weakest point! All I have for reading codes is my Accessport and ODB Fusion for my phone. I did come across someone with the exact same issue and the...

    Electrical issue: power locks, interior lights, turn signal

    Ok, I redid the ground as best as I could and it didn’t help. This may or may not be significant, but I wasn’t able to get to the inside of the white plastic piece. I’m assuming you pull the metal pieces out the front, I just wasn’t able to get it easily and was concerned I might break a metal...

    Electrical issue: power locks, interior lights, turn signal

    Thanks I’ll check it out! I actually tried to improve that connection a year or more ago. Perhaps my work failed so it’s definitely worth investigating. Would be awesome if that’s all it is.

    Electrical issue: power locks, interior lights, turn signal

    I’ve been having a handful of small issues with my Speed6. The latest issues are electrical. Simultaneously, the power locks stopped working, the interior lights don’t come on when opening doors (but the overhead lights work switching them on manually), and the turn signals stopped...

    Transfer case leak ... where?

    If you eventually figure out your issue please post here. Unless there’s some emergency I won’t be taking out my transfer case anytime soon and it’d be nice to know what might be going on with mine.

    Transfer case leak ... where?

    I ended up rebuilding my engine and when I had the transfer case out I took it apart and cleaned it up and replaced seals. When I put it back together I was careful with the application of rtv (I used the grey color). It still leaks exactly the same. I’m not too concerned about it. I wonder if...

    Misfire woes

    I did get a log when it was misfiring pretty badly and I got one today when it was doing quite a bit better. However I need to find my Accessport USB cable… I’ll post once I find it.

    Misfire woes

    Just as an update, today it was misfiring while driving even after warming up. It’s very noticeable below 2000 RPMs (with light acceleration). Above 3000 seems normal even with WOT. Does this back and forth more suggest a dirty fuel system? My tank is below 1/4 now.

    Misfire woes

    The plugs I took out were from EdgeAutoSport and pregapped. I had checked them before I put them in and they were 0.026. They’ve run fine for maybe 6000 miles. The ones I put back in were the Ruthenium plugs that I had gapped to approx. 0.026 and maybe had 8000 miles on them. I quickly checked...

    Misfire woes

    Sorry, meant to say that after the Techron didn’t seem to fix it I had swapped the #4 ignition coil with #3 and put in the previous spark plugs that I had taken out prematurely and which still had plenty of life. There was no change.

    Misfire woes

    Two weeks ago with my MS6 I suddenly had shaky acceleration and a loss of some power and the CEL came on. Misfire cylinder 4. A couple of times in the past I’ve felt misfires (although no CEL) and Techron has easily cleared it up—dirty fuel tank? But this time it was much worse. By the time I...

    ABS activates all of the time, disable?

    Thanks! I don’t care about the ABS light, and I don’t think ABS needs to be working even for inspection in my state. I’ll try unplugging the passenger side since I think that’s the side which becomes active. Eventually I’ll replace the sensor, I just want short term relief.

    ABS activates all of the time, disable?

    The ABS on my MS6 has been activating toward the end of braking (10mph and below). It started out very occasionally but now it happens most of the time. Just the front, maybe the front passenger. Today I cleaned the speed sensors (ABS sensors?) and the tone ring on the CV axle. That didn’t make...

    Where to add cleaner using vacuum line?

    On the contrary, I was trying to say that I ask questions because I don’t automatically dismiss things. I was talking about myself, like my sentence was phrased. You assumed I was talking about you or others. I’m not an indirect person and am more than confident enough to address people if...

    Where to add cleaner using vacuum line?

    I’m not meaning to say you’re wrong, but it’s not difficult to find conflicting information. As one example, Napa is strongly in favor of replacing and they don’t advise cleaning, but they also seem to deliberately avoid commenting on whether cleaning can actually help or not. I’ve seen...

    Where to add cleaner using vacuum line?

    Amusing that a polite question gets a thumbs down… ;) I accidentally came across this video: I simultaneously don’t believe everything I see but also don’t automatically dismiss things I don’t like either. Whether this works or not I’m pretty sure it’s not going to hurt. My reason for...

    Where to add cleaner using vacuum line?

    I recently saw a video where someone cleaned their O2 sensors by using carb cleaner through a vacuum line. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try and I have reason to think the O2 sensors aren’t totally clean. I’ve read to use the brake booster line but I don’t know which one that is. I also...

    max weight reduction while stayng street legal

    Interesting. I can feel my Speed6 slow down with every additional person that gets in it. When 4 people are in there it feels fairly draggy (relatively). I would imagine that weight slows it down more than 0.5 seconds :) So I was just curious what kind of improvement I could feel based on weight...
