Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

OK so I was at Walmart getting my son some new drawers and strolled thru the automotive section looking for orange tags. Ended up buying a 4.5 sq ft double sided dry towel to use for when I get the Optimum no rinse wash & wax. I figure that will be my winter clean solution.

Also looked at the car mats, cuz they seem to have a boat load. Ended up with the set that was the last one, laying on the bottom shelf. Not bad for $25, and almost a perfect fit. Rubber and carpet style. Could be an 1" wider but hell, I can't justify $100 for mats(cuz broke). My daughter would have said 'Hell yeah', Hello Kitty but I was humble and got the black.
 
I got my back mats for my car for 10 bucks a piece at Walmart best price ever my front ones I had from my truck. I don't even wanna know what those cost new

Drove it to work. Floored it and it ran good until about 4K and started to surge. Then kinda gave up trying. Check engine light came on and "Service Engine soon" on the DIC. After I left work the Check engine light was off but the "Service Engine Soon" light came back. Headed for Advanced. I hit it a few times, it ran good. Had Advanced check for codes, had a "Random misfire" code. Car runs good now but KR is up I guess the 3.4 pulley doesn't like the 53 degree temp. Maybe I'll try the 3.5 for Winter.

i fixed everything you've posted with new vac lines and T's for 5 bucks from advance auto. you want the small white t's that come 2 per pack, and 3 feet of vac tubing.

the line under the snout thar goes to the map sensor i kept the plastic line and pushed it into a 1 inch piece of vac tubing on the T. you can just replace the plasic line to the map with the new tubing if you like.

and the evap hose off the TB. used a fat hose that fit the nipple then pushed some of the smaller line inside the fat line, then to the plastic stock line as the other end to the evap is a special looking end that clips on.

That big T in the first picture cost me a lot. It fell off and no one saw it. I spent all kinds of money until I finally saw it.
 
bumper repair started today, cut off the high ridges from the deeper nicks, then sanded them smooth, wound up sanding 70% of the bumper lol then used the autozone bumper filler. its cold out so im waiting till tomorrow to sand it again, then if theres no wind and the nicks are ok well not visible any more ill hit it with sand able primer then wait to sand if its cold, says 1/2 hour dry time, but its cold out.
