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?

Added an auxiliary input on my stock head unit. Car came with a CD changer, so it was easy enough to just tap into the L/R/G input on the 9 pin connector in the back. Did find that some pinout color charts are incorrect... light green is ground, not an input, and blue and orange/w/b are inputs.
 
Might have found my vibrating problem at highway speed..I'm no expert but I seem to be missing/have a lot of wheel weights I can't imagine the wheels are bent and need that amount of weight .....

First thing to do when you have the kind of problem, is balancing the wheels. The weights look like you havent balenced your wheels since about 90 years ago.
 


Left it at work yesterday thru tonight while I was out of state for a crop conditioning conference. My co-worker texted me to let me know that they had cleaned it off and even shoveled me a path to my door. Awww!

I get back to it at 930 PM. Almost get the Camry stuck in the frozen/rutted parking lot to find the whole driver side of my car (except windows) a solid sheet of ice. I got most of it off around the door frame but I still couldn't get it open. So I had to climb in thru the passenger side door. That was fun.
Then my brakes wouldn't work due to so much ice on the wheels. Then I couldn't go over 40 due to the severe vibrations from the ice on said wheels.

Get to the gas station and try the door one more time before I make a fool of myself climbing out the other side....and BAM...it opens! Yay!
So as the car was filling up, I took my ice scraper around and cleaned headlights and beat as much ice off the driver side wheels as I could.

Today was to long of a day to come home after 8 hours in meetings and 4 hours in a car to deal with all that bullsh!t.
And...since the time change on Sunday...I got the pleasure of dealing with it 2 more times this week. I really do hate daylight savings time.

Ok. Danielle is off her soapbox now/
 
I am so sick of it. This winter has been relentless. It was in the 50/60s Monday and Tuesday and today freezing crap. We seriously experienced 3 seasons within 12 hours.








EFFFFFFFFF YOU WINTER!

Well a friend of mine bought a 99 GT today that had a strange issue. You could go WOT in drive and it would very slowly work up to 4500rpm and just sit there in first gear. It had no power whatsoever and I plugged in my scan gauge and it wouldn't even come on. So first thing is we checked the fuses and replaced the cig lighter fuse, got the obd2 port working again and got the codes off of it. Cylinder 5 misfire was one so we took a shot in the dark and replace the cylinder 5 plug (they were the factory originals and looked like junk) and built an intake for him for about $40. He got it out on the road after that and problem solved. Not 20 minutes after I fixed his car he rolls it and lands in a ditch. Thank God he's alright.
 
It was his first car too.. His tire started going off the right side of the road and he over-corrected. The insurance will apparently cover the mailbox he smashed but he gets nothing for his car. I feel terrible for him but at least he's alright.
