Speaking of medical issues (non mental) , I have an apt with my urologist next week to determine whether or not my two bladder cancer tumors were taken care of by the six week immunotherapy treatments that I just completed were successful.

This is my 3rd go around with cancer and I'm running out of body parts for them to remove -

Thanks.

Hang in there buddy.

Damn that sounds terrible. Hopefully they can get it taken care of and get somewhat normal function.

Anyone else having issues with the main forum page?

Every once in a while the main page with the forum directory won’t load. But if I search say, “ft86club technical topics” and click into the sub forum it works fine. Does this to me a lot.

Thanks. Another unfortunate disease I got from my parents. The disease is like weeds: just grows back. This will be the 3rd surgery on this finger.

I had to look that up, I had never heard of it.

Couple of guys I used to know have similar condition, but from cut or damaged ligaments.

Still fighting my SC’d car. No load in neutral runs great. Driving it’s fine until hitting like 3-4k rpm depending on gear and pegs AFR full rich. It’s burned like 4 gallons of fuel in less than 50 miles. No codes for the longest time. I was checking connections to sensors and now I am getting high voltage circuit codes for maf and ambient air temp sensors

Traveling out of town for work this week in a few hours so no time to diagnose further. It sat outside not running for like a year before I got it so I guess it’s time to inspect harness and connectors first. Then going to check any hoses that can cause a vacuum leak while I have the manifold apart. I may have smooshed something I can’t see on install as well.

Remember when I posted about the loose or fouled pin on my MAF connector? After I noticed how my LTFT had drifted way off during a long idle, I had barely touched the connector when the engine stumbled hard and recovered.


I haven't done anything since re-seating the connector that one time, ... but I'm keeping a closer eye on the trims.


edit: for accuracy, I changed 'high' to 'off.' I don't remember which direction it flopped.

Interesting that it doesn't talk about the blind spot in each eye. It's small but there's another reason to move your head around the pillars. If the pillar blocks the vision of one eye, it can't account for the other eye's blind spot.
