Come on Bill we're dying to know what's up

Once again, we hit a snag.

First start did happen today. Good news is the motor runs. Bad news is the AC isn't engaging and the 2 rear O2 sensors are throwing codes.

Sooooo.. my pick up today got scrubbed.

They will drive it to the Dealer in the morning and get both issues resolved under warranty (at least that's the plan).

The uphill battle with my car continues...

The AC is kinda but is it possible that the O2 were trashed when everything went south ?? 'cause for them to be OK then bad like that in a pair is odd.

Greg mentioned something about possibly getting oil on the sensors? From handling? From the motor? I dunno.
The AC.. who knows. All he said was it wasn't engaging when switched on.

If the Dealer gets on it and fixes both issues, a tomorrow pick up is possible.

Yes the Super Shaker did not work out for me. I'll let you know when I have found the perfect match. I have set my own personal deadline prior to the 281 cruise. Let's see if I can make it happen.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. MUSTANG MADNESS HAS BEEN BY FAR MY FAVORITE SHOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE THERE. WELL ALSO BECAUSE OF THE RASPBERRY EXPEIRIANCE

FANTASTIC PICS!

Just got off the phone with Greg a little while ago and he hopes the car won't be at the dealer too long, and also hopes the O2 sensors will be replaced under warranty. I certainly hope so, I think those things cost $$$.


Hi Ian!

Yes but stay away from the Gueuze
If I remember right it tastes like a old boot.

Here's to more warranty work Bill. With luck the dealer doesn't give you crap for the O/R-H... I don't know what car gods you pissed off you'd think you've done enough to please them by now

Don't feel bad, I have 0 miles and I'm already out of (motor) warranty.

I was trying to get you guys outta the girly-man beers but it didn't work. Baby-Steps Baby-steps onto the bus. Pretty soon you'll be diggin IPA, Stouts, Abbeys, Trippels and maybe even a Rauschbier thrown in.

Monica like the best Belgian Wit of all time too !!!!!

Yum! I'm going to pick up a case.

I'm giving my self plenty of time because I don't like it when I don't reach my personal goals. I compensate by minimizing the possibility of failure. Actually I'm currently researching the new Techco blower. It will not be out till Nov. 17
