Check Engine Light - idiot
From : asr
Q: hello.... just joined this group not aware it existed before..... so here goes my first question which i am sure has come up several times in good and bad context..... check engine light - use to come on every 6k or so and would go off within 100 miles... figured it was a programmed service call. well it came on at 72k not too surprised and has stayed on now for about 2400 miles or 2 months... everything seems to be in good working order .new everything as far as typical service and owners manual.. hate to take to garage just to have them turn it off..... is there a way to read codes or just turn the thing off.. thanks lite up in florida .

on 03 oct 2003 213306 gmt max340@aol.compost max340 wrote whoa now cell phone use is reckless driving maxie youd have to prove that one. but in this case you cant because it isnt. precisely how astute you are this fine day. thanks maxie. means so much coming from you. cell phone use and being tired are not proven to cause accidents but certainly can be a contributing factor. neither one can be conclusively proven to be the cause of any one incident but we all know that laws against cell phone use while driving are on the books and now there is one about tired drivers in nj. i find it very interesting that you both claim that cell phone use isnt reckless when clearly it takes from the drivers concentration on the road but you are both willing to accept a tired driver law as needed. really i dont claim anything maxie. i dont make the law just telling you what it is. it comes down to what ive said from the beginning people will do strange things while driving and if it causes an accident its negligence/reckless and would be found as such under laws already regulating operation of a motor vehicle in such a manner. yep. another maxie trick. change horses in midstream. start out in reckless then call it negligence. lol recklessness is negligence. no change there and further ive not used the terms interchangably since the laws define it as two different degrees of the same thing. interesting point of law. perhaps you could point me to the citation on that one. cell phone usage in a case where it diverted the drivers attention and an accident took place certainly would justify a citation for negligent driving an infraction but would never support a charge of reckless driving a crime. it is classic that you accuse me of changing horses and then proceed to claim one offense is an infraction lol and the other is a crime. funny i thought an infraction of the law was a crime. sorry. read the law again maxie. not at all. recklessness and negligence while operating a motor vehicle are both summary offenses in this state. ah you are getting there now genius. yes they are both offenses. they are not both crimes however. this link clearly states that careless driving is a summary offense and that sleeping at the wheel falls into this category. no need for an extra law here. http//members.aol.com/statutesp2/75pa3714.html this link clearly states that reckless driving is a summary offense. http//members.aol.com/statutespa/75pa3736.html a summary offense is punishable by a fine and if under the motor vehicle code points assessed to the offenders operators license. once again tbone is absolutely correct. maxie is talking out his ass again. lol says he who calls one offense an infraction and the other a crime. once again its been interesting to hear from the horses ass while you jump from one to the other..... yep i did say that maxie. i said it because it is accurate. now i realize that you and accuracy are not exactly on good terms but it may benefit you to become somewhat familiar with it. i could give you the definitions maxie but i think ill wait a little longer until your foot is even farther down your mouth. but maxie will just say that he is baiting you for a response. baiting hell why use bait when youll jump out of the water voluntarily that is generally his excuse for his extreme ignorance and stupidity. no thats my excuse for making fun of your extreme ignorance and stupidity. which youve handily proven with that silly infraction/crime bullshit. careful maxie foot going even deeper. max i have add and my friends dont understand look!! a chicken!!! .

hmm. how much should bleeding the brake system cost at a shop - im *not* qualified to do squat to the thing beyond changing a tire or the oil. paul on sat 4 oct 2003 102913 -0400 dick puter413@yahoo.com wrote try bleeding the brake system it should re-center the warning light switch. all my 1993 grand voyager 172k miles entire brake system replace two years ago - accumulator cylinders pads rotors has ocasionally been flashing the brake warning idiot lights both abs and brake/parking brake if i hit the brakes with any force. it started out happening only rarely and has gradually gotten more frequent and at lower speeds. it originally only happened on the highway. the brakes both feel and behave normally. im trying very very hard not to spend any more money on this beast it having been totalled by the insurance company in march and a new truck coming in december. any thoughts on whats actually wrong with the thing thanks paul --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.522 / virus database 320 - release date 9/29/2003 .
