New K&N filter put in at 85k (now at 87k)
new Bosch Coppers put in around the same time.

haven't checked the fuel injectors yet though
hopefully I'll be putting the new spark wires and cap/rotor in within the next few days to narrow down the source.

Name that smell! Burning Matches...

Well I had a Check Engine Light (CEL) go off a while back, which eventually went away before I got around to fixing it. Of course if I pretend the problem doesn't exist, then it won't... Besides I didn't have time to troubleshoot a hidden problem. CEL is on now, and will flash several times whenever...

Still eagerly awaiting my toy, but I'm cruising around after waxing the car (it was just begging to be driven) and I'm thinking... hm whats different? wait... no CEL Now I'm sure the device will still be of some use somewhere down the road, but I just wanna know what caused the light. Misfires...rel...

Just bought a CarChip EX on ebay, for $71 including shipping! It is the older serial model, not usb. But as far as I could find, they are the same unit, just different connectivity... not a big deal to me. Software and firmware updates availible online too. Use the item twice, between saved money an...

interesting device, seen it a while back over on http://www.mp3car.com and completeeelllyy forgot about it. Also they have it listed for much more at $130. Cool device yes, though will it really read more than the CarChip EX? Also, while the live data output would be cool, I'm not so sure I wanna dr...

ODBII reader (CarChip, Equus 3100, Autozone?)

So I was on the highway the other day, cruisin at a fairly low rpm, and at 65mph. I decide to pass someone, so naturally I have to pass in style, with my foot to the floor. I feel my S70 T5's boost begin, then the engine or the turbo, not sure... hesitates? for just a moment, as the check engine lig...

Ya it was almost supposed to be a sarcastic mockery of the "<3" term, guess i shoulda kept things simple huh? Anyways, For now, I'll probably hold off on doing the home-made CAI. As for the horns, I'll just try harder to find some good places, or make a bracket. How 'bout the stereo questi...
