Well I do know one that is willing to and she is quite the awesome girl we will see, gotta getyself set up with school thenaybe get her transfered

 

well guys, i hate to make my first chat post a negative one, but my 8 isn't starting so it has to go to a dealership... but because i bought it at dick hannah it's gotta go to their dealership... closest one is acrua of portland... care to start placing bets on them having to replace my dorritos?

 

aww sorry your 8 is at the doctors... but yea, chances are you'll be joining the new engine club shortly... which, if under warranty, isnt such a bad thing!

 

Oh man that sucks. Do you know if the maintenance history was up to date when you bought it? What symptoms are you experiencing?

 

why do you need to take ti to a dealership for not starting? why do you need to take it to a dick hanna dealer?

 

^ +2

 

I'll be up but I have the motorcycle course that finishes up Thursday. Samantha (Sam) will be tagging along. We both fly Friday morning and are crashing with a friend in Federal Way.

 

So Dondo CHR and I just had some delicious food at 13 Coins. Mmmm good. Party somewhere tonight?

 

she's turning over just fine, just not starting, i was on vacation for a week, someone moved my car w/out letting it warm up and hasn't started since.

it went to a dealership for repair because i don't have a place where i can work on it, and to dick hannah because they wouldn't pay for it to be towed to another location, so it's at acura of portland, i'm just hoping the mechanic doesn't try to figure out how she can run w/out VTEC :/

 

anyway, when she's back to running i'm gonna try for a trip up to join u guys for a night at Dick's sounds like it's a blast

 

I wonder if it got flooded...

 

thats my guess, but they wanna put it through a diagnostic test, the ***** start rolling tomorrow morning...

 

So an Acura dealership is going to work on your car? Did you try the deflooding process?

 

i tried what the manual says to do, didn't work

 

yeah you dont want that..

 

not really, but i gotta go with what i can afford, and my warranty was with dick hannah, he doesn't have a mazda dealership and acura is the closest dealership to me

 

you car still has a mazda warranty though is you're under 100k miles. doesn't matter which mazda you go to

 

the problem was the tow, i don't have the cash to throw into towing it, but dick hannah towed it for free to their dealership, i was trying to get it towed to murray mazda, if i had paid for it to be towed there then i would probably have it back by now, they had an open schedule this afternoon

 

ti was just flooded. could have pulled the plugs, dried them off and then pull started it.

 

How did he tow it?

 

i have nowhere i can work on my car

he towed it on the back of a flatbed truck

 

Thanks - that is the only way to tow it

 

its worth the dollars to tow it to mazda imo.

that said, it probs was just flooded but i wouldn't want acura dudes working on the 8..

 

hmm flooded yeah my car was flooded.. you dont have jack stands?? thats all you need that and a street, i do all my work and stuff in the street lol make peopel drive around saves me money so im not worried about what people think. or push it to a close by parking lot if you have one relitivley close and put it somewehre open. take off your wheel and such umm. defloodding i found it easier to take out the fuses to the fuel pump than pushign the gas and turning it over. your probably had a major flood as i did a while ago. where. pretty much i had to take the plugs out dry them then continously have it turn over deflooding many many many many many many times i actualyl killed my battery doing so. which i didnt know so i also preceded to tow it in where my alternator died while they deflooded it but oh well. im not sure but the streeet a normally drive way is all you need to work on your 8 =(

AND +1 TO NOT letting accura work on your car

 

yea, my 8 was parked facing downhill on a gravel drive, i would love to be able to do the work myself, but where i live it isn't an option unless i can drive my car to someone's garage or something
