How did I lose my crickets?
So, i have been hearing the crickets regularly after diving home from work. On Friday, i wanted to get home extra fast, turned off all the traction control and stuff. Turned up the radar detector. It was 97F, I had 3/4 a tank of arco 91, and the AC on. I was passing cars quite easily on a two lane road . Hitting 7000 RPM in 3,4,5, gears. Lo and behold when I got home I didn't hear any crickets in the engine.
What gives? Am I not driving hard enough to kill the crickets? |

I love how everyone is coming up with theories about losing crickets. Just wait they will come back and haunt you

What is this "crickets" phenomenon?
Edit: Nvm I looked it up. I've never had it. Last edited by Ammonia; 08-04-2013 at 04:06 PM. Reason: did research |

Easy to get rid of. Either non-ethanol 93oct or use the Lucas octane booster. I've been of that damn sound for about 4 months. When I can't find ethanol free I put in a half bottle of the Lucas juice. Works every time.
