new engine

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After two day of testing. I got angelica back today!!! now I have to wait for two weeks until Milan Mazda gets the new engine. but at least am not going be be with out her that long, and they toll me it wood be two or three day to charge engine and test. So I will see you all at the drive-in with angelica. now the weird thing is that today in the morning I had to take angelica to the interlock place for her calibration appointment, and the rpm wood not stay still at 750rpm on the stop lights. there were all over 750 to 1000rpm. for a moment I was worry and the mechanic toll me it was the primary port miss firring and that all the engine he has replace were misfiring all on the second port, not the primary and that this was the only car doing this, and that was after they change the two coil and wires. he also said that it miss fire 103 times on the primary port, in like one five minutes run. but now the rpm are steady at 750rpm. I do feel the engine weak, but I think its in my head, and they show me in there computer that it is the original engine, on like what Russ dunmires toll me wend I did my last recall with them. see you all soon and I hope the engine swap goes OK. who nose, may be I have been driving angelica with out her full power all this time!!!

Just stick to the "Break in procedure" this will give you MAX power for the long haul. Resist the urge to floor it till you get some miles on her (1,500+). Change the oil/filter at 100 or so miles 1st, then do it again at 500 miles then at 1,000 and WAIT too rev her up!!! This is no joke. Take your time! It will pay off later. Look at it like this, get power 1 time now, or better power countless times later.

last Tuesday, I was in Seattle at the VA hospital. After my appointment, my wife and me went for a drive around Seattle and on the way home I saw a red rx8. So I down shift to 2 gear and it felt like I was on 6 and tolling a trailer. I was hoping on passing three car and I only pass one!!! So I took it easy on my way home the rest of the way. But about ten minutes later check engine come on. Today, three day later it come off, and Milan Mazda call me to let me know that my engine come in Today. So I will drop it off on Monday. Hope it only takes them two or three day at the most to replace!!!

Today I drop my angelica off , at Milan Mazda and I did see my new engine and they had two other engine and all of them had the warning sticker about the synthetic oil on the engine. I am all so getting new front brake pads and they are butting on the pcv valve, to stop the milky oil at the dips stick!!!

But I feel bad. It is wrong to miss your car, more then you miss your own daughter? right!!!
