We'll i worked on Janice's whip today. Here's what i took a stab at:

- Fixed that exhaust leak she had. **** was a mess, had to rig it up puerto rican style but it doesn't leak and wont leak anymore. It's much quieter now cuz all the exhaust is exiting out the back which is nice.

- Looked at the cluster **** of wires you guys call your throttle cable. I've never seen anything more ****ing rigged up in my life. BUT anyways, the cable from the TB to the 1st box is new, all the other cables and rotating things and the cruise control i adjusted and put WD-40 on them and worked out any gunk in them. Went inside the car and lubed up the pedal a bit, worked that one.

- I drove the car around for a while, maybe 30 mins. It felt much smoother. Car RPM was down a little around 1000-1100 instead of the 1250 it normally ran at (This is by the gauge also, haven't done a digital reading on the true RPMs)

- I took out her intake and looked at the ISCV hole. Plugged it with my finger and it bogged down like you all said. Don't think there is a vacuum leak anywhere. I patched up a small hole she had on her intake system no biggy there.

That's about it. Car runs smooth now for me. Idles fine, doesn't stay high or bog down at all anymore. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens when a female drives.

grizzy225 · 08-26-2009, 04:21 PM

My assumptions are, sticky cables + loss of back pressure in the exhaust system = weird idle/bog at times. (Shes running Headers - B pipe - Muffler)

grizzy225 · 08-26-2009, 04:22 PM

you ass hat!!

i swear you guys its not the "female's driving habit"

im sure mike, mman and reck will disagree with me but whatever...
you men always stick together

-janice

muffinman · 08-26-2009, 04:42 PM

i'm sure it has nothing to do with your Puerto Rican style of driving.

muffinman · 08-26-2009, 04:43 PM

grizzy225 · 08-26-2009, 08:05 PM

I'm sure it does muffinman.. hahaha

grizzy225 · 08-27-2009, 01:18 PM

SOLVED

mr3 · 08-27-2009, 02:25 PM

grizzy225 · 08-27-2009, 02:32 PM

congrats on getting the car fixed ( as usual it took a man to fix it.

)

well yes... lol it took a man to fix it buuuuuuuut it takes a woman to handle this car

i have nooooooooooooooo idea why we are so damn short, i LOVE it hahaha
im 5'1... and a half

how tall are you? im sure you dont want a woman to be up to your height... ugh thats odd looking

mr3 · 08-27-2009, 09:07 PM

I'm 6'0" but I fit in my 5'3" tall sisters car with the seat way up.

Medusa · 08-29-2009, 07:32 PM

Haha I'm 5'10" but I sit a little close for my height, gives me better steering/clutch/throttle control.

Speaking of throttle...my cruise control will sometimes not work, but only when my e-brake light is on. It comes on when I hold the brake down, i.e. at a stoplight or braking down a hill, and usually goes off a second or two after I get off the brake and back onto the gas, but sometimes it will stay on for a few minutes up to an hour or so later. I'm assuming this means my e-brake indicator is out of adjustment/broken/poor ground, etc. and the cruise control not working is secondary to this. is there any way to get to the little electronic thing that senses e-brake handle position without practically stripping my passenger side interior?

Sorry for the thread jack, but this has been pissing me off for a while.
