I adressed that in the fancier post that i originally posted but i had accidentally closed the browser and didnt feel like typing it again. Yes some newer cars infact the number is increasing do more "thinking" for throttle input but many cars(my experience with new cars runs till 2000 on Jeeps so try not to hold that against me) but what i posted earlier is mainly exident in less advanced fuel injection and carbueration not so much on todays more electronically controlled machines |
Re: tachometer mystery?
slightly off topic but kinda on. my truck when i rev it in neutral and then as i let go of the throttle, the speedometer whips up about 5mph and then settles down again. this is when i have my foot on the brakes and the truck hasnt moved a cm. how can it? the transmission is not in gear... why is this?

instrumentation error
or your engine is warping the time/space continuum! |

For the poor idle regulation at a certain temperature, there is obviously something wrong with the warm-up system. Given enough money, the car will run fine at any temperature, but now it becomes a question of how much you want to spend to make it right. A decent mechanic can tell you which part needs replacement, but I would hazard a guess it is the mass air flow sensor that is fouled a little. Don |

Talk about odd behavior! When I have my truck in neutral and rev the engine to about 3500-4000 RPM, if I then slide the transmission into gear, the tires let out an awful howling sound and sometimes smoke! The part I really can't explain is that almost every time, my head bounces off the head rest. It's all very curious! |

They chirped for a second, then the engine broke free from all its mounts, and the fan went through the radiator. He had some 'splaining' to do when he got home! Knowing all the things me and my friends did when we were young, Im now thankfull everytime I see my son pull his car in the driveway in one piece. [ Happy Thanksgiving everyone! ] |

Re: tachometer mystery?
Yeah my trans am not even running to well at the moment(way too rich) can spin tires in reverse without me trying hard(granted thats on gravely dirtlike stuff) Also if you do as above and you get lucky you will only explode U-Joints or a driveshaft(on rear wheel drive vehicals only unless your really trying)

Re: tachometer mystery?
funny, its all a matter of perspective
if you have a car that will spin its wheels from the power of the engine alone, everyone thinks "WOW what a powerfull car you have" unless its winter up here in the great white north, then everyone spins their wheels all the time, and the only thought that comes to mind is "WOW these tires are terrible! I gotta get me some studded snow tires!" |

"he needs more weight in tha back.." which is what im having trouble with right now.... im driving a 2wd pickup and stuck 250lbs of sand right over the rear axle.. mostly on the passenger side since i have an open diff. oh what i would give for a quick swap to a lsd... and a/t tires. not good. should i get more weight in the back over the axle or should i move the bags farther back... to like the tailgate? its a longbed so i can get a lot of leverage with that. :D BUT. thatll mean ill be taking some weight off the front tires. do i really wanna do that? i have a big v6 in there so itll be more than what i had over my front axle in my neon.... i think? or do driveshafts and such weigh a lot? well anywho. my question is should i get more weight or slide the 250 lbs i have farther back to get more leverage for the weight and say i still have enough weight in the fromt to not worry about the seesaw affect |
