• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Urgent Urgent. Help Needed

    For those that might have been following this post the dealer determined it was a faulty purge valve on the evap canister. Thus the reason for the heavy gas smell and the drips of fuel out the evap vent hose on the right side. I dont imagine the ethanol fuel helped much either.

    Urgent Urgent. Help Needed

    Scotty the machine sat overnight and it was started and immediately the check engine light and 171 and 174 codes are showing. Shouldn't the machine need some time to know it is running lean. Is it possible it is a sensor fault like o2 or Maf?
