Intriguing, but really, anus jokes?

me neither but I was thoroughly explained by me service advisor when my initial codes threw (I looked up all I was told)...and when they threw again, I informed them of my original concern of ecu. Funny how things work out.

we have been on here since the beginning and I know there is a mass amount of pages to read through but it's worth it for the new cel members to dig in on here and compare codes to avoid unnecessary dismemberment of engine components for computer problems. I tried to fight against taking mine apart. it's easier now with all the detailed records we have posted but what can you do?

OT: I respect your decision to remove crickets, but is there a point to the current fix if the replacement part is same as the HPFP that you have now, and anecdotal reports are that said crickets return?


Just wondering. :happy0180:

read that too. Not personally worried about crickets (i think they are cute) but they had ordered the part so I'll let them do it since it's warranty. The nav was more annoying to me, I hear "GPS signal lost" twice a day and it fails when I need it the most.

I would love to know what's up with the burning rubber smell in my vents. Thats my biggest question for them

You have found oil leaks? Or is this a guess?

no leaks checked and double checked its not a oil smell. Russell noticed too last time he was in my car. Smells like a belt but no signs of obvious wear also can't smell it outside checked under hood and around when it happens. Smell is intermittent and noticed after cel repair under normal driving conditions when heat is on. (But then my 1st cel was 70 miles.) I'm at 6200 now. I posted it hear b/c I wanted to make sure it had nothing to do with my parts replace. If it ends up a separate issue I will start thread elsewhere. =)

I get a weird smell with my heat on too actually. Starting to notice it more.

[RMStringer]

I notice this as well when I use the heat. But then again, I live in Texas and I do not run it that much as we have had no real winter to speak of.
