the CEL only flashes for misfire when the amount of misfires exceed the allowed value
The code will be cylinder specific (P0301 to P0308 on a 8 cylinder engine telling the tech exactly what cylinder was not firing off correctly, or if there are multiple misfires it will be P0300 and then other...
It should be on the door tag under paint all 4 of these black codes ( G1, UA, UB, UD ) are supposedly the same color but I don't have the formulas right in front of me
UA is the Ford generic black they have used in everything for decades.... my 2005 F150 was UA paint code
If you can't see, look closer.
Tires are not solid, look at how much a tire on a drag car expands when it is launched
There is also Boyle's Gas Law
I don't know how it works ( actually I do I have a Engineering degree) all I know is the cars I see come thru the shop and what I read in...
Toyota vehicles with full size spares on wheels matched to the car (5 alloy wheels) do have TPMS sensors, when people complain their TPMS light is on and they have filled the tire, the first thing I do is check the spare tire pressure.
It is usually very low as nobody checks the pressure on...
When you work on Fords, you have to know the year when doing tire work
Pre 2008, they used a band clamp and a sensor 180 degrees away from the stem
2008 on they are on the stem
Not every car uses a sensor, some use the ABS tone ring, speed and steering angle sensors to monitor the tire rpm's...
well with electric power steering and the computer using the electric power steering motor to do lane centering/departure, if the voltage is low the computer might disable it as a CYA safety measure.
My brothers Honda had the front bumper replaced, when the tech plugged in the ambient air temp...
when my Android phone is plugged into the car it goes right to WAZE and uses my phones GPS , bypassing the Ford system
The problem with the manufacturer installed GPS/Navigation is unless you are using the cellular modem in the car and connecting to the navigation servers, you are going to be...
I have a Job 1 car with no auto start/stop
I'll gladly take the unused spot on the switch rack over having to punch that button every time I started the car
Poverty?
I paid cash for my car, almost 57 grand.... and I don't have the poverty hole between the radio and dash cluster
the problem is you can find tires that will hook up rather than slip, but then that force is then transferred to the differential and axles, and they will fail if you hit it hard enough
If you are going to get additional grip out of the tires, look at other upgrades (axles!) before you do it
event data recorders give the PoPo all the information they need to hang you
If you have ever seen a forensic investigation of a EDR it is amazing how much data is stored in there
I ordered a car, never got a VIN, cancelled the deal and bought a car that was 99% of what I wanted from a dealer that was close by.
Using my Mustang Club of America X Plan pricing benefit the car was something like $55.6K
GT Ragtop, 401A, 10 speed, spare tire, Rapid Red. The MSRP was 58.5K...
My car as a 2025 went up $3500 dollars, and the red I have is now discontinued.
Still stuck with a black roof and dark interior, no lighter colors like my 07 GT ragtop had, which makes a big difference in Florida trust me
Canadians have a similar issue, I think it kicks in at 100K Canadian which is not a lot in USD's
My Canadian neighbor in FL wanted a C8, with a lot of the high end stuff on it.
He was faced with unchecking boxes on the order sheet or just saying screw it and sticking with his 13 Z06
Last I...
Easter eggs are there so Insurance Companies can't use aftermarket parts when repairing crash damage
Put a copyrighted image on something and it can't be duplicated in the aftermarket.
Like the F150 stamped into truck tail gated, the FORD on the windshield banners, etc etc etc
