I guess that I should be happy that it finally started. I am going to hold
off my happiness until I am on the road to Montana. I guess I shouldn't say
happiness, but overjoyment. That would be too exhausting. You see, in my past
experiences with my beloved vanagon I have gotten too ahead of myself
emotionally because of good results. I reccon this is because probably once
out of ten times I get a good result. I don't really know what I am getting
to here. I guess that I just need someone to talk to. Oh and thank you all
for helping me to start my vehicle. Some day I hope to be able to give sound
car advise. I am just going to stick to figuring out my vanagon right now.
These things take time.
Will someone or two tell me some things about exhaust systems and
catylitic converters. I don't feel at all comfortable driving a pollution
mobile. But until other sources of energy are brought to us by aliens, I am
going to stick to my vanagon. Right now I am without an exhaust system. I am
going back and forth between one that can take a catylitic converter and one
that can't. The one that can't is much cheaper ($ real important). Are
catylitic converter's essential?
Also I do not have an EGR valve or filter anymore. This mechanic I
brought my van to a while back said that he remapped the air flow sensors.
What the heck does that mean? Is it just a way to charge me 85 more dollars
on my bill?
Lovin' the list,
Steve
