I was doing a little investigating this morning and where the elbow meets the filter box is looking more and more like my problem. It floated between 14 and 21 on the way to work so I loosened that clamp to where I had a visible crack with absolutely no change in the fuel trim at idle. I did a little wiggling and tightened it back down and the ltft on both banks dropped to 9 from 14 at idle.

It's looking more and more like your air box mod is a necessity Jbrew.

Yea attempting a new smart purchase. If that isn't in the cards I might take you up on it...have plenty of time to sort it out, not there yet and looking for info/help for that educated decision I guess.

Samsung 3 ? That's a thought since it's torque app frindly..I think ? Have to check that out. Not looking to go cheap, focusing more on purchasing a truly good phone with longevity and compatibility with whats out there today.

Thanks again, but it's a work in progress...not sure what to do yet.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3. I am sure that is what AK is offering you. If it is a Verizon phone, it has 2GB of ram.... all other carriers only had 1GB. Mine runs Torque beautifully. If you just want a phone that will do all you want for years to come, the Galaxy S5 or S6 are some great contenders. Not the current models, so you won't have to auction off your first born. Most likely the S5 won't be available, but last time I checked the S6 still was. HTC also makes a decent phone, but I have no personal experience with them.

That is what I was going to give him if he wanted it. Verizon Galaxy S3, updated to 4.3 Jellybean. I plugged it in and checked, and it says on the Samsung site, that it can go to Marshmallow if he wanted to update the system. I was using it for my Phantom II quadcopter as a second FPV screen. I now have a 7 and a 10 inch screens, so I don't need the phone usage. It runs Torque and Car Go quite well. If he doesn't need it, I'll just use it for a monitor for my in-house PTZ camera.

Ok guys. It's Super Bowl weekend. Who is going for which team?

I'd like to see Atlanta pull this one out.

Appreciate it AK, very kind. Sounds like you still have use for it though. I get rid of stuff all time, easier than selling the stuff. Only reason I have for selling vs giving though is the way that some folks attempt to profit off another's charity. Uknow that greedy scrupulous devil bug and untruthfulness..BS curap. But, can't wait to get that spare room crap gone..need a welder? lol. I walk into that room , look around and walk right back out. A much larger project than I realized. It's been a month satisfying that new years resolution. Pulled an all nighter tonight, one of many recently attempting to get this crap done. Bugging me so much that I can only sleep every other night . Should just slow it down I expect..damn resolutions! The GF is even on hold at this point. Spending more time w/her isn't totally appropriate at the moment. She has attempted to help though, very busy lady, has been pulling double duty. Between the University and her privet practice. Terminal patient (it's looking that way) that isn't do very well..bless her heart, but man she's getting taxed as well.

Anyone want this job! I swear I don't know how someone can be a wizz at this stuff. One of those things you have to do yourself.

Anyway, I'll assist at least one person at this site before this long break over. It's relaxing, recharging and yea, - very weird.

Okay, if you can wait for it. Could be quite awhile..I'll hold onto it. Just going to be awhile before I get to it...not a priority, I'll remember though if your serious. I won't move it out then, keep it in the packing lineup lol.

Well before I ask you to hold onto anything do you have any specs on it? I don't necessarily have to have one but it would be nice.

It's a Chicago 90 amp Flux Core. Thought it was a HF special ? Who else Chicago Electric ? It most likley came from here, discontinued I expect since they only sell 120's. Very Cheaply built, every corner cut but it does weld.

Closest comparison to what they sell now. Dang, that's real cheap in price for a 120, -

http://www.harborfreight.com/120-amp...der-61849.html

Not sure what this 90 amp will cost to ship ? 30/40 bucks maybe ? Iduno, I can let you know when I start boxing the other stuff up. Testing two more underground locators, writing the listings up, boxing everything up, forwarding the listings then done! Just have to drop ship.

I'll let you know during the boxing stage, - yea, wasn't selling the welder, keeping it around for someone that can use it, that I know, like yourself. So don't think I like you or any thing.

EDIT: Shoot that thing isn't that heavy jp, more like 20 to ship to SC I expect. Iduno, I let yuh know, - do the same if you decide against ehh. I'll throw it in the shed lol.

The HF 90 amp actually doesn't do too bad welding if you use Lincoln wire in it. It's no Lincoln, but it's good enough to weld. I have one, and I use it now and again. I've also got a 240 volt Lincoln stick welder.... never used it though, LOL. When I've needed some serious welding done, I've borrowed my Dad's Lincoln MIG. Nice little animal she is.
