Buttoned up the '17 Optima AAP clearance Delo 5w40 and the new and (cheapened) PG H/K filter went in These old plugs aren't 12 months old, I don't think they have 20k on them, yet they look awful This makes me thing that the single Iridium NGK Iridium IXs aren't up to GDI conditions Step...

~18 hours later, removing the B12 Chemtool from the cylinders Little shot of oil in the cylinders, drained the contaminated old oil and put in 5qts Edge 10w30/cheap filter to flush out residual solvent Eww It started fairly readily, I let it warm up, drove it around a few blocks at low...

Piston soaking (then BG EPR idle flushing) this '17 Optima 2.4 Theta II (108k) Burns 1qt every ~250 miles 😲 Eww

'97 was the last year for "optional security system" Is there a security light on the dash (above the radio) or a module under the passenger seat? There was a dealer installed siren kit that could be stacked on it, plus god knows what kinda aftermarket nonsense could've been hacked in over the...

Lemme save him a few dollars https://charm.li/Honda/1997/Accord%20EX%20Sedan%20L4-2156cc%202.2L%20SOHC%20%28VTEC%29%20MFI/Repair%20and%20Diagnosis/ Run the VIN, make sure it's had its recalls completed If the airbag light is on with seatbelt buckle codes, they have a lifetime warranty If you...

Is there play in the EPS coupler and or intermediate shaft? I'd start with sway bar links/bushings first, if the struts aren't obviously leaking Does it have a TRD or accessory rear sway bar? (no RSB from factory) How's the alignment, might need camber bolts to bring it in spec

It's scared the Kia Boyz are gonna get it 😭

Paging Motorcraft parts specialist @bdcardinal That packaging looks sus, and I doubt even dealer cost could approach $11.14 each 🤨 Do a close compare and contrast when your new parts arrive, you may have gotten fakes Try and get your money back through eBay buyer protection if applicable

Ah, it's a Motorcraft FL500S associate 🤔 Hopefully one of these typos/fumbles comes up a filter I actually use 😳

I can vouch for the AstroAI I bought this evening outside Home Depot E90 328xi with very dim headlights, and a faint click when you attempted to start it Those remote jump points under the hood are a little awkward, the guy went into HD and bought a jump pack, except he didn't know they don't...

I know you're not gonna like hearing this, but it might be best to start over Autolites are garbage for this application And where specifically did you buy from? A link? RockAuto would probably be your best bet (do remember a coupon code) Be careful with plug listings on this engine, only...

How's fuel trims? Check thoroughly for vacuum leaks? You're not losing coolant right? Where did you acquire this Motorcraft coils from? Counterfeits are out there Ignition coil driver failure in the PCM is not unheard of, I'd scan with FORScan for more in-depth code reading

Too cheap for me to turn down, but they don't fit anything I own Do they kinda cross reference to anything more common?

Not whatcha say windows 😭 I for one am glad we've evolved past such 1900s tedium I don't miss them in the work Patriot, could never get it adjusted right to seal tight without the crank hitting my knee

Politically neutral fodder 😅

Did they measure them with any precision, or are they assuming based on mileage? Here's the specs

I've been served well with the Gooloo range, I ran a 4.6 Northstar off one for a few blocks (emergency) I have a feeling if you're trying to awaken an old 7.3 Powerstroke in the Midwestern winter, the more expensive (Noco) models will serve you better I'm a city boy, trying to get a 1.5 Civic...

Jump started the Fusion with the new AstroAI jump pack Most adequate If it couldn't start a 2.5 I4 on a 70° day I'd be surprised OCI on the neighbor's '17 Spark PG filter and Total 5w30 It's gonna need a drain plug next time How bad did he have to bottom it out 😲

Cool story, I always liked that era of Chrysler product (when they were new and worked properly) In my climate they didn't age well, down South I assume they don't rust as bad I assume this is an LXI sedan, not the coupe or convertible? Here's the service manual, you should probably bookmark...

Yeah, the literature is somewhat lacking Mine supposedly supports unlocking Dill/VDO "Redi-Sensors" p/n 7002A I've never dealt with sleep/park modes on sensors 🤷‍♂️ I believe these are the sensors Costco/Discount tire sells you
