I replaced the coolant sensor, it totally solved my problems of running rough or not running at cold start up. The car idles down where it should now as well. Some how it feels llike it has more gonads, but im sure thats just me. Perhaps something about not running as rich? I mean, the computer now knows the correct engine temp right? *shrug*
While driving today, I threw another SES code, checking tomarow.

the SES code was: EGR throw something or other and O2 sensor (bank 1, senor 1) I assume thats the first O2 in the system....man they are expensive for such little things...
on a side note, I am getting better gas mileage. NOw weather thats because of the Seafoam, replaced Coolant sensor, or meerly the oil change, who knows. *shrug*

Actually all those things can help our gas mileage. Stupid O2 sensors. Who cares about emissions we should just let the cars run at full peak and now worry about the air.

I know, thats what I was getting at.... I got 290mi out of this tank, last tank before all the hupla. I got 250. 40mpg just doesnt come from nowhere, so Im content. Oh, as a refrence note, I do delivery as a job, in the satty, so it does 100% city driving, through neghiborhoods, rushhour traffic, sitting running while I make the delivery, etc, so im pretty happy w/ my MPG.

Which one would you like? My SC2 or my impreza. The SC2 does get better gas mileage but my Impreza is a little faster. But I love to drive both of them. So I don't think I will be able to trade. LOL.

I got 307 out of 10.5 gal on my most recent tank, something like 29.2mpg. Woot for SOHC! Im expecting a few more mpg once I ditch the AC as well.

I recievied my new/used fender and door from 6th plannet today and yesterday. They are in good shape paint wise, no worse than the rest of the car. I hope to put them on tomarow. Anyone got any tips on wash/claybar/waxing your cars?

yea so re-update got body panels on long time ago, its soo nice to not have cracks in the body anymore...besides the front bumper...Funny thing is, now my drivers door (original to car) doesnt match w/ my front fender and rear door (both from seprate cars, but match eachother), but the fender and door match the rest of the car? Wierd 16in Ion wheels installed a few weeks ago, very sexy indeed...minus the grey bumpers. Today, removed AC compressor, condenser and lines, as well as replaced Idler pulley and new (shorter) belt. Yay no more belt noise! Hey I gained, what maybe 1/2 a HP by removing the Compressor right? and Im a bit lighter...so im faster right? heh suuuure. Ive got an SL2 rear subframe (disc brakes and swaybar) sitting in my dining room, im just waiting on 17mm swaybar from sixthplannet, then new rotors and calipers, braided lines, and poly suspension bushings. Not to mention H&R sport springs. So my suspension should be finished in a few weeks (woot for tax return!) Tony
