En-route to work all of a sudden i get grinding and all kinds of sound from my tranny....come to find out my ECU just all of a sudden went "fuck you" and the data just out of no were purges it's self from the ECU..Plus to find out...all 4 rotors are out of round...cheap fix..my guy will do them for 60 flat...the ecu & tranny remap was 62 bucks.....Now...the DPFE sensor and the EGR Ports are going to be 280

Joey how much can you get these parts for.....or how much installed

 

sounds to me like you should really consider getting reliable transportation, like the ZX6R I've got for sale.... maybe you've got something worthwhile to throw in as a partial trade so you don't have to take out such a big loan

I've been looking to upgrade my tv, or maybe get a nice laptop or another nice desktop

 

my desktops and laptops will run till the day they die..sorry......and hate to say it buddy...got the tranny and ecu re-maped...the ERG & DPFE sensor for around 150 shipped whenever i ordered them...plus the shop doing my rotors said they install the parts for 50 bucks

 

...but it's only a matter of time before the F.O.R.D. dies again

 

snatch the throttle body off and clean the port first, before changing the DPFE.


most of the time, the port is fucked (ie, solid caked with carbon) and will set a DPFE code also.


what codes?

 

He didnt tell me...i had Dennis from Vinton FORD look at it...he's known my dad for years....

 

Dennis is a good guy. I was the Parts Manager at Vinton Motors and worked with him for a while. If it ends up being the DPFE just get the part and do it yourself it takes like 5 minutes to do, but deff clean out the TB and the IAC. Just a little but if carbon screws up those things.

 

Yea thats what joey said...iam going to end up doing that myself..

Ive heard abunch of there guys say that Lucas Oil Stabilzer is good...is this true because i got a bottle be never used it...

Also they told me to run "Seafoam" gas treatment....so thats going in my car when i top it off....

Rotors are getting turned next week
and the MAF and EGR will come when i can afford it *was in the middle of paying for class when this shit happend*

Also does anyone known don....or as we called him "the great bald one" used to work for Vinton motors i do belive ??

 

I know a lot of people that have used Seafoam and I even used a bottle in my old mk3 GTI.. You'll blow carbon out your exhaust for a bit but it seems to work.

 

i vote gettin a new car, not a domestic =)
