You told me but I told Chun what I understood from Ray message. I just wanted you to repeat it for him.

 

naw i use good gas all the time 91 baby...now i got the engine light on now...but i wannna do a clean out on everything fuel, remove and clean ssv etc..

 

You want to change your filter that's fine and probably a good thing. But the CEL code will probably tell you why you are losing power. Plenty of people in town have a scan gauge or you can just stop in at Auto Zone, have them give you the code then look it up here.

 

engine light went off so should i get it scaned anyways

 

Yes. The code is stored.

 

A white 8 was parking very close to my building this morning so I pulled up to him and let him know about the car clubs. He just got an 07 auto from Carmax. Seemed cool enough, maybe he'll hop on.

 

Chun,, Do you have everything you need for your gauges?

 

Yup... gauges... check... vent pod... check... water adapter... check... oil adapter.... check...

Unless you think I need anything else I am good to go.

 

Sounds good. See you on the 17th.

 

lol how many clubs are there?

 

 

That I belong to? 2.

Oh Easy, all I have to say to that is

that what autozone said but im cleaning everything as we speak

 

who the hell is 16x??? lol

 

Oh I will have tons of "good luck" as I know people who work for oil companies lol

 

awesome if cleaning it works I would still strongly recommend changing that fuel filter cause if it's the same 8 you drove out to SS12 you been racking on up miles

 

Go blow your lover

 

no that was my old motor i have a new one but i cant get that cap crap off

 

errr the "good luck with that" was about never changing a fuel filter, so your snappy come back that your lucky like that cause you "know" people in the oil industry made no sense

But ultimately it doesn't matter, if someone has an issue I throw in my $.02 cause after 25+ years in the industry there is the off chance I may be right once in a while (sarcasm applied here). Example a clogged fuel filter would restrict the flow of fuel starving the engine and not allowing it to develop power. Now as he admitted to never changing it made sense to atleast check it ok as he had no CEL at that point. See I come from the pre- ECM era and there are younger folks that do not understand the fundamental concepts of how an engine works. So there may be those that would appreciate suggestions that are either free or cheap of things to check and those that maynot. If you do not like my opinion that is fine don't pay it any mind but as you commented off of something I said I repsonded and that can result in whats called "brain storming"

So while I asked a serious question you didn't answer. You were given the chance to enlighten me, do the 8's have a limp mode when the oil level is not up to par?

I could foresee myself owning an 8 or whatever it is Mazda releases and am more the willing to learn cause "ya can" teach an old dog new tricks
