Weekends of nothing
October 21st, 2007Well I did basicly nothing this weekend. Which is somewhat odd, I barely even did any work which is the mostly odd thing. But it was kinda odd and felt just as odd. One thing I did today was replace the emissions part on the Altima. I drove it for a while today, usualy when I reset the ecu it pop’s the check engine light within the drive home which is about 12 miles. I drove atleast that much of stop and start, then cruising speeds. So far it hasnt come back on so I think that got that.
The thing right now is, I think Im super sensative to the car. Because Im feeling every little bump, every little lurch, every little hickup. I cant tell what is normal and what isnt. I cant totaly tell if the car has been fixed totaly yet or not. I do need a new valve cover gasket. Pulling the plug wire today didnt yield the pool of oil I was expecting. So my thought that the oil was fouling the plug still causing the miss isnt happening. This is now a mystry. Is it really missing, or is it just normal. 3rd and 4th gear heavy load full throttle, I cant feel anything abnormal. I would think a miss would really show up in that situation. Only time I really feel anything is light accleration or steady state cruising. So is that just normal stuff, bumps in the road, or a real miss. I am going to do some highway driving here in a day or two and see how crusing on the interstate. Trying to figure out if my butt is just super sensative, or Im just a tard…thats something hard.
I have to get this fully sorted out in 2 weeks. Cause on the 7th or before I plan on going to Atlanta. So I need to make sure everything is good. If not, Ill be renting a car going one way in it each day and just rely on my friends when Im there to haul me around, which should work. I just dont want to do that, and dont want to have an unreliable car. So thinking I may have to cruise out somewhere to a friends place one way or the other on the interstate this week to test the car out. meh…ok back to doing nothing
