Ok that makes sense, thanks. I had initially wondered if it was bad gas, or a dirty fuel tank. But it’s been months now and I’ve also used multiple fuel system cleaners. And I replaced the injector (it’s misfiring on just one cylinder). But trying some extra ethanol is worth a shot. I noticed...

Interesting. I am in southeastern PA and try to use Shell V-Power but nowadays stations aren’t nearby and I usually end up using Sunoco Ultra 93. The pumps always say it contains ethanol. I can’t remember what the percentage is. I’ve only seen one station with 100% gasoline! A Wawa near...

For anyone interested, here’s one of the threads I found: I just wasn’t sure what to expect the car to do. Mine revved up a bit and I wasn’t sure if by doing that the computer doesn’t try doing it on its own? And I wasn’t sure how long to leave the pedal slightly applied (really let it off...

Are you suggesting to run that or to fuel up with 100% gasoline?

I had read of several people saying they did that 5% throttle thing to avoid the CEL’s because of the cold start misfires. That’s all I’m wanting to do right now because I’m well past inspection and just need a quick fix. I do need to fix it and I’ve been trying to for months in the limited...

I have read elsewhere on the internet about disabling cold start by holding the accelerator at 5% when starting the car. I tried it this morning but not sure it accomplished anything. Does anyone know anything about this? I’m not looking to always disable cold starts. I just have a cold start...

I’ve been getting occasional P0401 codes. In my one ODB app I can see this: I’m assuming the EGR valve and/or the pipe to the intake manifold needs cleaning. Has anyone ever done this? Any advice? Thanks.

Ok thanks :)

What’s the standard load and speed rating for tires on the MS6? Mine came with 95W’s so that’s what I’ve gotten previously. However I need to replace the two front tires and found a good deal on 91’s and I wasn’t sure if that was high enough.

Which fuse has to do with the horn? I meant to test the connection to the horn when I was replacing the radiator since it’s right there but I was in a rush. I figured checking the fuse would be a quick first step.

I finally installed the CSF 3192 radiator. It was basically a perfect fit. No issues, and I am quite pleased to not see pools of coolant underneath the car anymore. Performance seems very good. Though the air temperature has gotten quite a bit colder here.

I think so. I don’t remember them being tty but just a specific torque spec.

Not that I could tell. I’m not saying it was optimally tight but it was tight enough not to have issues. Loosening the cam bolts wasn’t a big deal though the second time. Just extra hassle cleaning up stuff and then getting the friction washers.

My engine runs with no leaks so I guess it was a success :) I had the engine entirely out of the car (since I was rebuilding it) so doing the timing cover was easy. But the first time I had the cover off with the old engine still in the car I thought it was a real pain to deal with the sealant...

Ok thanks! My concern was simply that if there isn’t the DSC and Traction Control that maybe the system wouldn’t think it was able to calculate when or how much AWD is needed so it’d just leave it on (the 4WD light isn’t on indicating a problem) and fuel economy would suffer. I know the system...

I am having an ABS issue and haven’t had time to properly troubleshoot it. In the meantime I unplugged a wheel speed sensor which alleviated the issue. In doing so the ABS, traction control, and DSC lights came on. I was wondering if this affected the AWD, in that maybe AWD was on all of the...

Thanks Cfoldone. I did order the CSF one and it should arrive tomorrow. My plan is to install on Thurs. Hopefully I won’t have to modify but we’ll see. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I’ll go that route.

Thanks! I have never repaired a radiator so I’m not sure what the best way to do it is. I’m sort of guessing the leak source because it’s really difficult to see it (even with a pressure tester).

I’m trying to find a low-cost (but not totally sucky) replacement radiator for my Speed6. I have a leak which I think is along the metal/plastic lower seam so a temporary repair is elusive for me. I had considered using K-Seal since some people claim it doesn’t gum anything up but I feel...
