I'm really not certain how long it will take for those trims to learn; considering how long it took for your car to start doing that in the first place...
This is why I'd still like to read your car tomorrow. We don't have to, but I'd rather before you take off to newfieland again.

LOL It's Fort McNewfie, or The Inland Rock, or just plain Shithole. 
And yeah for sure we can hook up again tomorrow night and see what the car has been doing the last couple of days.

**** is a good investment lol. but on a serious note. after you left **** mike i hooked the tech 2 up to my car and scanned it for a few differen't things. decided to scan for misfires and sure enough i've got consistant misfires on my #2 piston. so i get to spend saturday tracking down why instead of installing a few parts.

[QUOTE=Pickles;2644541]What kinda things does she do?
QUOTE]
sometimes goofy idle. I was getting a bit of knock, but then I filled up again and now no knock... I also keep getting a P0172 code. It comes and goes at random...
Im pretty sure I just got a bad tank of fuel which is really odd. Im running some octane booster at the moment though just to be sure until I get my tune tweaked some more.

Nobody at the shop(Rob/Keith/Corea) have any ideas at all?? lol nitrous, he wishes, don't we all tho lol.........could have something to do with the intake steve, did the MAF sensor location change with the intake install?? How close are the intake bends to the stock setup?? Those are unfortunately both CRITICAL on maf cars and could be the problem.

hey so anybody hear about that story outta manitoba? the 17 year old kid who died via a taser incident with the cops? the story is he was seen breaking into a car so the police were called, when the tracked him down he was brandishing a knife and wouldnt drop it so they tasered him to get control of the situation, and unfortunatly he died somehow from the taser.
now i definatly feel for the parents, but i was just watching the news and they were interveiwing his dad and i couldnt believe what he was argueing. of course he was choked that his son died, but this is what he was saying "why couldnt they just surround him and take him down, the knife was only 7 inches long, why did they have to use such force?" and just for the record police apparently asked the kid numerous times to drop the knife.
what do you guys think of this whole situatuion? (if youve been following it)
i feel for the parents loss, and can understand why they are soo upset, but come on, the kid has a previous history with the law, and hes breaking into a car....kinda sounds like he asked for it, after he didnt put down his weapon...i kind of think its redic that the parents are trying to call it racial profiling (the kid was Metis). the cops didnt intend to kill the kid, or they woulda used a real gun. (which ironicly would prolly not have killed the kid)

Wouldn't 10 cops in riot gear vests helmets, shields, the whole 9 yards, be able to take him down?? What happened to bean bag guns?? VERY EFFECTIVE and doesn't kill if u hit the target in the right spots.
