Oh, ok, From numerous posts here, I was under the impression you could clear adaptive parameters (such as might be caused by faulty signals sent) by disconnecting the battery. I guess this is wrong.

Yup. I think we all know stuff like that. That's why we come here to share ideas. And codes. And questions.


Again, yup, but I came here first because that's what we do here.

Replacing what it's time to replace is just good maintenance. I did my plugs, I need to do my wires. I have a cheap MAF and I cleaned it, and I realized that every time I have cleaned a cheap MAF, I have killed it, so I dropped another $45 on a new one. If I don't need it, I have a spare. I intend to live long enough that I require another at some point.


You and I have a different sense of the word "budget." I sometimes "budget" for a dinner at Morton's Steaks, but I don't walk in and say, "give me what you think I need." I go in with an idea what I want. For be to bring a crippled car to a shop is always an invitation for a ripoff at the worst, success at the best, but anywhere in between, really just an absolute ton of hassle that I have been able to avoid, in the past, through sound discussion with rational peers.



Such prowess! Yeah, people know this generally.

Yup.

You bet wrong! What are we betting? You lost. Hoping it's a steak dinner at Morton's.

Why would someone be calling out a part without knowing what it does and how to set it? I merely referenced cleaning it as part of some maintenance I'm doing while I wait for wires, etc.

Great! I'm not gonna adjust it, having previously read up on how precise the turns are, and also noting in my descriptions that the idle was doing pretty well on its own. I'm just cleaning it.

Checked the PCV valve last night and cleaned the tubes. It was lovely of you to suggest that at the finish of this hopefully cathartic post.

 

Lets just bash ihscouts today!!!

I have to say ihscouts knows his ****. I would not have a rover today if it was not for him and a few others. He personally helped me out and now i have a truck that runs just like new. With out him i would have never been able to rebuild my engine, I had it all the way down to bare block and back.

Just take a step back back for a few days clear your head and jump back into it. Something is being over looked like Vacuum leak, Pressure regulator, Fuel pump connector behind drivers side rear wheel, failing multi function relay, or air idle control valve needs to be removed and have the plunger and port cleaned.

 

Pidge, I believe you are mis-interpreting things. I'm sure you are frustrated but you are working against your own interests.

I have no horse in the race but over the many years reading this forum I have come to form opinions about many of the folks that post and, for the most part, have concluded that most come here from a place of good-will. ihscouts is among those I'd put at the top of that list.

Take a breath.

 

I replied to his whole post completely appropriately. That it contained a lot of weird stuff is not my problem.My reply is fair and neutral.I respectfully disabused him of a lot of assumptions he made, I commented on the things he wanted to bring on me that are common to literally everyone here, and I thanked him for the one piece of information that reflects what people do here.

You all take a breath! I've received numerous private messages telling me to have strength when he bears down on people, and I ignored them. This is simply a back-and-forth, and my responses were utterly appropriate. He's a big boy. He can read a response to his post.

Did you all misinterpret a tone in MY post, as you accuse me of doing to him? Then maybe you see how that works??

You have no need to pile on.

 

I'm abandoning this thread because it's just bullying on top of condescending mansplaining, despite my attempt to respond to That Post to get it back to a discussion of auto issues.

Future readers with these codes, start with your pump. I'd honestly say ignore all the talk about CkPS on this. These particular symptoms don't ever result in a post saying, "THAT FIXED IT!" Check and clean spark process, check and clean vacuum (including PCV), check and clean MAF and air filter, check and clean pump and filter and pump wiring, including at the rear wheel and at the ECU. GOOD LUCK!

 

wow. that went south fast.

i see you are cross posting on DiscoWeb. if you think the responses you received here were rough (i don't but i'm a man so i'm probably missing something) then tread lightly over at that site.

overall, i have found this forum to be very polite and helpful. scout can be rough around the edges at times but i went back and read and reread what he wrote and i'm just not seeing the tone, condescension and disdain you are inferring.

regardless, hope you get the issue with your rover fixed.

 

Really, could any additional posts here either address the car issue or politely refrain from beating a dead horse? Enough really is enough.

 

Find another forum. The dead horse is your Rover for the third or forth time and you've beaten it long enough here, it's time for you to move on out. Giddy up!

 

OR, please feel free to try one of the above highly effective options!

 

Awesome thread!!

My money is on meds.
