BTW, how's your car running?
mitsu90

Since my husband forgot like always the car is still idling funny.
mitsu90
I think it might be a boost or vacuum leak

Do that boost leak test, dood! I've got my adapter for it and a compressor... if your intake's the same size...
mitsu90
not sure how big the intake is? should be close to a 16g
ncgalant
It'll idle 100x better with a fresh O2 sensor. The one in there is toast.

nate would a 190 work for me or should I hold out for a 255?
ncgalant
190 will fuel 550s just fine. Your stock 125 just won't. A 190 won't overpressure the rail at idle as bad either.

I've got a 255 for sale. Pm Me.

As for moron actions, I'm known to forget to torque lug nut down after maintenance.

Also tightened up the PS banjo fitting with the o-ring squeezed out. Add a tight turn and a hot exhaust manifold, and you've got a nice engine fire. ph34r.gif

I've been guilty of that one too. I think I'm going to start a car mishaps thread. I think we could all use a little comic relief.
