She thinks it looks "sexy" :-)

 

"Fixed" my fuel door lock actuator or you could say I put a crutch on it, I will let you know how it works over time.

 

03-07 coupe exhausts are virtually identical so maybe you had a leak or hole somewhere in your old one?

 

Very possible in a joint or in the flexible parts near where it goes 2 into 1. My main concern was that either the 06-07 was different than the 03-05, of a difference between sport vs base or a difference between my vs auto trans cars.

 

Just finished touching up the repaired wheels. Since my wife will be driving this primarily, I didn't want to put too much emotional effort in them to just get my heart broken when they come home all scratched up.

 

I started a thread on how I got my fuel door lock actuator working again.

 

My Tire arrived today and My lower control arm arrrived yesterday.

 

I started a thread to help me fix my trunk open button from the tail light working.

Yesterday I cleared a code P0507, had my new tire mounted on my recently straightened and repainted rim (only 1 bent rim left on my car), put insurance on it, reset the tpms, and had the car inspected. While driving I noticed a groaning sound when turning left. On a positive note the only annoying light on my dash is the silly "rev" light. Is that thing really always supposed to be on all the time?

 

I had the registration done today and got my plates. I actually used it for transportation today, dove it 3 miles to my sons basketball game and on the way home, the check engine soon turned back on. Read the code when I got home and was greeted with the P0507. I did a little research and dod the following to relearn the TPS:

With the car warmed up, all accessories off and in Neutral:

Turn the key ON for 3sec
Turn the key OFF for 10sec
Turn the key ON for 3sec
Turn the key OFF for 10sec
Turn the key ON for 3sec
Turn the key OFF for 10sec
Turn the key ON for 3 sec
Press the accelerator to the floor and return to idle five times rapidly
wait 7 sec
Hold accelerator to floor for 10sec
(The check engine soon light will begin to blink)
After the check engine soon light goes solid on , release the accelerator
wait 3 seconds and start engine.
Drive can and see if it is behaving normally.

After completing this my Idle dropped to where I would have expected it. This is the first time my car has idled this way. I turned the car off and on 2 more times and it still idles normally.

Hopefully my code is gone permanently.

P.S. I cleared the code prior to performing the relearn

I don't know who to give proper credit for this, I found it in many threads but kudos to whoever found this initally.

 

That's one good looking Driveway!!!
Looks very lower friendly.

 

P0507 is back again and I have noticed that she pings way too much I wonder if the Ping, Slow throttle response between shifts and the pinging are all releated? I think I will open a new thread.

 

I think I have my Throttle properly learned (Did the ecu reset then the TPS relearn procedure. The car has been idling perfect for 2 days now and so far no return of the SES light. I also replaced one of the rear lower control arms that was bent and replaced one of the rear wheel bearings with a used one but it was noisier than the first.

Tonight I had to work on the sunroof, My wife opened it earlier today and when I went to close it it started clicking. Read on the forums that there is an issue with the screws coming out on the motor and that is what my problem was.

Remaining issues:

Trunk release switch in tail light not working
Bearing noise
and now the clutch hydrolics are acting up (Is it the master or slave that typically fail?)
Engine splash shield is still missing and I don't have one.
My wife and I are having a disagreement on the rear of the vehicle. She wants me to put all the emblems on the trunklid but I like it bare. Any thoughts?
Drivers seat needs some upholstery work.
Passenger seat warmer
