who in ct owns one of those things to hook up to the damn car to tell me wtf is wrong with my car?
annoying not knowing why it wont start

 

I have a OBDII sensor that I got from Sears, I don't know if it'll be helpful.

 

Any Autozone reads your car for free. And prints out a recipt with all the info you need.

 

KingBonacci is right. You can go to Autozone and use one. But you have no way to get your car there, you might want to go in to Advanced auto or Autozone and see you can rent one from them. I know there are some tools that you can rent with a deposit that you get back on return. I dont know if they would do it with an OBD reader.

 

I also have a OBDII sensor (live in New Britain), you can borrow it if you want.

And yes guys, I'm still alive! LOL!

I am still driving my 8 (even in the snow) and it's does pretty good except when going up a steep hill, the posi-track will slow the car down to a stop if I can't get traction.

I've put almost 20K miles on the car in the last 6 months driving to NYC twice a week for work....

Managed to get a pic showing -4 on the outside temp guage yesterday...

Good to hear from you, Joe. Glad to hear those all-seasons are holding up well.

 

ya i got running finally, i took the two spark plugs out again and blew them out again., after putting em in took couple tries but it finally turned over, but when i took it down the street it ran like ****,barely getting power when starting and its just running like ****, now im concerned i put one of the wires on wrong. so irritating and i had some of the lights on, ill have to look at it tomorrow and somehow check the spark plug wires are on right, im hoping thats it. will see tomorrow.

 

yup, had tweo middle ones crossed, all better, yay

 

Ha, that'll help it run better. I'm glad its back to normal. You should come to our meets.

A member at Mazdas247 had this meet a while ago and are doing it again and so far we got a decent list. Would love to see a few 8s there. There are going to be quite a few Speed3s and a few Speed6s. We need rotaries!

 

whats up with ct weekly meets?

ughh ct is a boring place to live....

 

Yea, we need to get some stuff goin, even if its not rotary only. Whose down?

 

I'm down. I went to the pike by taco bell for the last 2 weekends but it seems all there is are ricers and rednecks with their jeeps parked 4 feet up light posts. There needs to be something better.

 

Seriously, there are meets over by me (in danbury) but I think they're pretty much all rice-fests. We used to have mazda meets over at Buffalo Wild Wings in danbury last year but Im not sure if they're starting up again or not. I'll have to check Mazdas247 to see whats goin on there. Maybe we should check some of the other forums (nasioc, etc.) to see if there are any bigger regular meets happening. I also think cruise days/nights could be real fun, we should put a couple together.

 

Any of you guys other than Drew going to OCC?

 

Yo Kumar, i think there is an OCC meet thread but i've been checking and didnt see anything about a cruise down. BTW, I got my first tune from MM, what a difference!

 

Nice, your issues are all gone then?

 

I'm moving to Danbury at the end of the month. So a local meet would be nice... If I can just stop spending every week driving to NYC.... Going to top 70K miles soon....

Joe aka "The F.O.G."

 

Welcome to town Joe, hopefully we'll be getting meets together soon. Kumar, things are definitely better, not sure if they're all gone or not, but I hope so.
