I could load up the sleds and head your way!I haven't checked this morning but, I assume a bunch of major arteries are closed around Denver. I am not sure if there is a regulation, but the place I posted pictures of the other day, has snow almost year-round.

Why? Not that I too wouldn't like to fly recreationally, but still always wonder what the use is.I am curios on what the reserve for this is,has been sitting in the hanger for 25 years.Not really an answer. Does that plane have a sink? Is it your new laundry machine?I am guessing he wants to smuggle something. And don't even consider that plane Mikey if it is been sitting along.

Seriously, it is still fucking snowing here. I think at this point I am jealous of your guys weather. I can care less as long as it doesn't kill the blooms on my cherry tree.

My Daisy dog will be 11 next month. Being a golden lab, she is getting up there.

I live where Piper started. Lots of time spent watching Piper air planes fly and a couple of friends own Cubs and one owns a Mikoyan Mig-AT which is for-sale currently. They are fun little planes.

That vehicle also has a MAP sensor. Is a externally mounted vacuum device. I believe it is on the passenger side of the engine, possibly mounted on the valve cover or firewall. Will be a tiny box with a vacuum line and wires going to it. It is not inside of the air intake like the MAF. The thing is a vacuum leak in the hose to the map sensor causes the map sensor to indicate a higher than normal pressure (less vacuum) in the manifold, which makes the computer think the engine is under much more load than it really is. As a result, the ignition timing is retarded and the fuel mixture is richened. So yeah see if you can retrieve the codes as I posted above or go get them read at an auto parts store. Those are all free things you can do, that I posted. Other than change your fuel filter which is not a bad idea. Sometimes can even be replaced without any tools. Google some YouTube videos of all the procedures everybody has suggested. That alone will give you more understanding of your car. Is the only way on a BK budget.

Hell, check there isn't something stuck to the sensor inside the intake.

About the only other REALLY simple thing to do is go drive it like you stole it. That particular sensor is most responsive at or near WOT. This is bc the sensor collects data continuously at or near WOT. Also check there is nothing obstructing the air intake. Also look under the car and make sure the exhaust isn't pinched or restricted. See if you can find the o2 sensor on the exhaust and see if it's hooked up. All other things that will cause a MAF code.

The finish sure looks purdy Steve. Your work is amazing, thanks for sharing.

Will not hurt to know the codes. You may be able to retrieve them without the scanner. Turn the key on and off 3 times and end with the key in the on position. Your check engine light should blink. Will be like morse code. Have a piece of paper to write them down. If 3 turns doesn't work, try 5 turns. You can start the process over as many times as needed.

Don't waste your time on the OBD code. There are several factors that will trip the MAF sensor, so if those factors are not corrected, the code won't mean shit. First is check that that MAF sensor harness is not near any secondary ignition or coil wires, or other electrical devices. The harness could of got reinstalled poorly at one time. Also check the sensor ground wire at both ends. Second is check for vac leaks AFTER the MAF sensor, as that will throw off the sensor. PLEASE change the FUEL filter first, then check for vac leaks. Always do the simple tests first. Ok

Learn to change your own fuel filter. Learn how to test for your own vac leaks. Is the only way on a BK budget. If that doesn't fix it, come back here and I will tell you how to reset the computer. And will walk you through the diagnostics.

Fuel filter is a REALLY good place to start. Try the vacuum leak test would be the next smartest action.

Sean, the 3456 in my carb math represents 2cuft, in inches. Don't remember why that was the formula, just remember the formula. lol I WILL read up on everything more, so I know wtf I am doing. Than I can apply my resources more appropriately.

I am guessing something to do with the a/c compressor clutch. If shutting off the a/c solves the problem, you should be close to a diagnosis. When was your last tune up? How many miles on the motor/truck (if different)? Any codes thrown? A/C on is in the map on the ECU and should be automatically adjusted for. If not a sensor could be stating the temp incorrectly, that the A/C is off or of course there could be something that causing it to happen. Very true. In that case you should be able to reset the computer and the car will run in "limp" or "learning" mode for like the first 50-100 miles until it recollects data. If resetting the computer temporarily solves the problem, I would start testing sensors with an ohm's meter, for acceptable tolerances. Depending on the car, may go into default right away IF there is a faulty sensor, and only collect data from key sensors.

Piper Cherokee is another good one, IF you don't mind a low wing.

The 182 is a good plane. Just make sure it was maintained. Last I looked the were only around 30k.

Use a propane torch to check for vacuum leaks if you suspect that. or you can use carb cleaner, but its hard on the rubber. Use the UN-LIT torch by moving over the suspect area's. IF the engine rev's up, you have found your leak.

Honestly the car ran pretty damn good with the edelbrock 600 on there. So I know just a smaller carb is not a bad route. No it won't be "perfect", but will get some time in behind the wheel to decide. Same as audio, change as little about the fucked up situation as possible until a strong understanding , and hp goal is reached. Idfk

I think more women need to know about this

Is it just me Sean, I can see the first statement being an extension of the system."Energy" (money, time,etc), as with a lot of things, adds a subtle and distinct flavor (to life or whatever), if the dish (whatever your working on) is already loaded with other flavor profiles, don't waste your parsley. In other works don't fix it if it isn't broken. Conserve your energy (money,time)until it matters! Maybe a law for the economics theroy. We chase our tails sometimes, that's for sure. Is akin to taking a long ass road around a mountian, to get 5 ft in front of yourself. Either way you are getting there, just the most direct path is less exhausting. The concept is; Why does one over think (and over spend) on things when working on one's own stuff. One should not over think, but apply the logic one already uses.

True. I have already done several things twice on the mustang, due to my own ignorance. Thank you! This is what my BIL has been telling me since I got the car from him, and I either could not grasp it or was not listening. He said either change the carb and cam to a realistic size, or swap in a crate, I am still weighting on which way to go. Appropriate size Hydraulic cam and carb are seeming like the logical solution! So ya, once I quit trying to overthink it I will tear the cam out.

You may be in Colorado if it is dumping snow right now
