Angry If it's not one @%@#$$% thing it's another.

Always something. My black car, runs great. Except for the low rpm rolling into wot stumble. Then today, I spring a huge a** leak in my A/C compressor and **** out my pressure everywhere. At least I think it's the compressor. That's where it sounded like it was coming from when I put a bottle of R-134A into it and listened to it all **** away. To top that, the motor tried to injest the soft foam that sits between the upper and lower airbox. fortunately, it got wrapped up on the throttlebody. I did however manage to slice the living hell out of my thumb rectifying the problem.

And to rub it in, I STILL can't get the stinking a** purple car to run with a tune. Brand new chip, good tune. Put old stock style chip into piggyback adapter. Everythings the right way, car won't even run. Flip the stock style chip upside down in the piggyback adapter, car runs, but runs bad. Hesitating, psuedo rev-limiter at 3K, won't go past that. Try two other stock style chips, same result. Try just piggyback adapter with flash chip with tune, nothing at all. Try just stock style chip, car runs fine, with the exception that the tune is way off.

I'M SO SICK OF DEALING WITH THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!! ALL I WANT IS MY CARS TO RUN RIGHT!!!!!

We all have been there before, not much you can do but bite your lip and go on. You got two bad *** cars and it'll be ok.

Well, problem is that I leave for the middle east for six weeks on Saturday the 30th. Plus, the purple car is for my GF to drive, and she isn't too familiar with it yet, which is why I NEED that running so I can get her up to speed.
