I have opted for plugging the leak for now. I got Slime Delux Tire Plug Kit from Walmart today. Came with their "plug Bond". It is a white substance that is like a thick elmers glue. Use that or rubber cement that came with a tire patch kit? Will try "Tireseal" or "LiquiTube" later if I hear...

Where to buy?

Did that on the wheelbarrow years ago. No regrets.

Briggs & Stratton Tire Sealant. Just heard of it. Is it any good for riding lawnmower tire or just something that will foul things up like Slime does? Preferred method of fixing those flats?

The fan is not working. I checked the relay in the fuse box. It is OK. Ran 12v to the big slot the relay plugs into. Still no fan. Broke my finger so won't work on the car for another month. Will check the rest of the harness to the fan then. Engine runs at normal temperature w/out the fan...

I am home from the trip now. No airflow problems at condenser or cabin. I suspect the ECM. I have OBD Link reader but does not show anything about AC controls. I have had occasional throttle problem. Its not the pedal or the throttle body and its controller. I usually unplugged the harness...

I do not think they will be able to change the Schrader valves without loosing the charge, and then having to recharge the system. Some inner tubes have a cap that doubles as a Schrader valve tool. I have one on each of my bikes so I do not have to carry the tool with me.

Since compressor was replaced, system recharged about 8 years ago, I doubt it is overcharged or this problem would have exhibited itself years ago. Condenser and radiator cleaned last year while doing other things. Will verify fan even though coolant temperature is normal in hot weather. Time to...

I suspect the fan works as I was driving in mid 90F weather with no overheating. Will Hot wire the fan to see if it works as it is cool here. I suspect PCM. Will see if it is throwing a code. when I am done with my visit.

I do not see a "Condenser" fan. There is radiator fan on the back side of radiator. Not on right now as engine is cold and ambient air pressure is 64F. The condenser sits in front of the radiator. Don't see a separate "Condenser" fan. I always monitor the temperature gauge it it indicated normal...

2013 Fiesta SE Hatch. AC stopped blowing normally cold air right before Texas to Ohio trip. Decided to do without until I get home in Texas. I suspected low on refrigerant. In Ohio my nephew installed gauges. Noted high side pressure before starting engine and abnormally high low pressure after...

Yeah but you were still somewhat locked into a certain cost, even if taxes go up. Typically rent just goes up and up and up. Buy a house at the top of the market you may loose some. Not much security in renting. Somebody buys that property, they may boot you out for what ever reason. Leases...

I'm Against It

Chip cards are less vulnerable to skimming than magnetic stripe cards, but they aren’t completely safe. Crooks can still capture your card information from a chip card using a technique called shimming. Shimming allows criminals to create fake credit cards with your card information.

You are very lucky. It happens a lot.

I am not getting skimmed at the pump because I only used Shells "store" card at the pump. I really do not want to use a "credit" card at the pump no matter how good the deal is. I do not want to have to deal with a card company arguing that I did not make those charges ... Life is short. keep it...

I think the problem is that the old Shell card could only be used at the Shell pump and maybe for stuff in their store but noe somebody can skim your Shell MaterCard and run up a huge bill anywhere. I suspect MC will drag their heels over thousands. Maybe I should tell them to put a low limit...

To a great degree it protects you from rent inflation. Taxes and stuff goes up but owning a property gives you some security. Owning property greatly helps your credit score. I bought my Fiesta when I was unemployed and ford jumped on the chance to finance the car at 0% interest.

Shell is going to MasterCard. Our present Shell Card will be unusable after May 17. The Shell MasterCard can be used anywhere for anything. What happens if the MasterCard gets skimmed at their pump? In the past they would not charge you for skimmed charges. I never use a credit card at the pump.

100 F is the normal summertime temperature here. Hard to say what is normal now due to climate change. Turned on the heat this morning. Not very cold but very damp. Early morning April 30 2000 it froze. May 1 2000 it got to 106F in the afternoon.
