If we're really lucky, they'll have one big enough to trigger the fault under the lake Isabella dam and Bakersfield will get wiped away in the flood waters.

Alright, so check this fucking shit out.
Set an appointment to view that halfpipe house, realtor confirms appointment. Asks if we have pre approval. Had a delay from my lender so I told her, it’s getting worked on but I have no doubts we qualify. “Great, see you Wednesday at 11”
Bitch RECONFIRMS!
Forward to Wednesday at 11.
Text her at 11 to say I’m there since she’s obviously late.
Her response, “we’ve already accepted an offer, I thought you would have text me so I could tell you”.

what the fuck is wrong with people?

Hey all,
So, I've been having random/cyl#1 misfire issues for the past month or two and have done the following to rule things out (P0300):
1) changed out the spark plugs completely... gapped them to approx 0.031, which is what it calls for, and cleared the DTC's
NOTE: when I checked the spark plugs, they looked really GOOD and have been being used for approx 2x months during this whole test...

2) monitored with my scantool and eventually the same code and the same cylinder
3) took wire plug from cyl#2 and used it for cyl#1 and vice versa (NOTE: JUST the wire!!! In other words, I didn't "cross the fire pattern", if you will). The idea is to see if the wire is the cause? Cleared the DTC's.
4) monitored with my scantool and eventually the same code and the same cylinder

At this point, I ruled out the spark plug and the wire.

5) The next thing that comes to mind is cylinder compression. So, I did that today and have the following:
NOTE: compression range for a 2.7L is 127psi-178psi
cyl#1 = 130psi
cyl#2 = 165psi
cyl#3 = 135psi
cyl#4 = 170psi

I checked cylinders 1 & 3, twice and got the same compression readings.

@4WALKER Ryan or anyone else, what would those readings tell you for me to look for for a next "test"? What would cause cyl# 1 & 3 to have those low readings while cyl# 2 & 4 are within range??? :confused2: Is that what I SHOULD be seeing??? :noidea: I know that the compression should only be approx 30psi difference between cylinders, which is what it looks like... BUT... I thought ALL cylinders were supposed to be around the same as, for example, 2 & 4??? In other words, for ALL cylinders, SHOULD I be seeing approx 160psi or thereabouts is my main question?

Would a "leak down test" be the next thing to do? I've never done a leak down test before and would be one of the next things I would do research on, but thought I would come to you guys first to get some basic answers or some next steps to take maybe? :noidea::sorry:

I would go to YouTube to further do research on the matter, but I need to know some of the more basic questions that I had just mentioned above.

Thank you guys. Luckily my smog isn't due until next year, but I'm trying to figure this out now instead of last minute.

My compression tool used is a:
Innova Compression Gauge Tester p/n: 3612

Stay safe people and thank you in advance!!! :thumbsup::beerscheers:

Do you have popping out of your intake or exhaust? An open valve will do that. Do you have excess crankcase pressure? Take the oil fill cap off while running and a lot of pressure will escape like opening a bottle of soda almost. Rings will do that

Can someone please confirm if there is a scheduled protest in/around Mile Square Park here near Santa Ana/Huntington Beach area?

I'm hearing rumors here at work, but I can't confirm any of it? I'm hearing it is scheduled at about 1:30pm?

Thanks in advance.
