The Unofficial "Ask a Stupid Question" Thread

That's Lonnie Doll's site.
The charcoal canister and solenoid are likely laying in the nose, lol. All 3 of mine were.
If you fix the ones under the hood, the code will go away.

Stupid question about gas mileage...

If I drove 200 miles on slightly less than 3/4 of a tank (needle almost at 1/4), would that be 16 miles per gallon or 14? I am not sure if we calculate with an 18 gallon tank or only 16 gallons. 2 gallons for emergency when it says "empty".

You got the odometer reading backwards but thats just a negative sign, the absolute value of the number is correct

We should meet up one day! I'm out in RivCo!

Not a bad idea, though that's a hell of a drive, hahaaha. Any other SoCal types around here?

Pretty straight forward. You'll need some black RTV to seal up the oval intake port in the wiper cowel (sp?) area. Unless there's another way to do it better / easier / faster, you'll have to remove the wiper arms and cowel (sp?) to get access to the oval intake ports under the cowel to apply the RTV.

If it needs to be repaired, you'll notice that there is a crack around the oval intake port.

I'd take pictures of mine (because both of mine need this done) but it'll have to wait as I'm not home.

Cool, thanks.

LOL.... I did it right the first time, copied the page and pasted it in the post. It did not show up correctly, so I did it again (in a hurry) and was not paying attention to the stats. Funny that the mpg came out the same! Thanks for the correction Jae Bird.

Then where in LA County are you at? Is it actually City of Los Angeles or somewhere in the County? We can always meet up in the middle somewhere.

Not sure who else is around from SoCal. @dDUBb is from NorCal though. I've met him once before.
