Repeatedly Running On A Low Tank?

"he"?

 

so explain how a car with a knock sensor can still exhibit detonation...

 

Oh, BTW, my *85* Celica GTS 2.4 had a knock sensor.

 

By using SHIT GAS.

 

so explain, since the engine is supposed to have a knock sensor, and the
computer is supposed to adjust the timing accordingly, how can "SHIT
GAS" cause detonation???

 

But then, being a Dumbass, you wouldn't remember this, would you?

Remember, this thread is about repeatedly running something low. You
appear to be running you mouth with your brain low on working cells.

 

Phew, you really are friggin' stupid, aren't you?

 

i remember it perfectly. but it still makes no sense as to why your
argument that something "just happens because you say so" has any
credibility.

 

sorry, was that a technical explanation? "because i said so" won't get
you onto any nasa payroll.

 

Maybe so. I did get the distinct impression that, whatever the
explanation, it was not something that was unique to Subarus, but was a
generalization that maybe the techs were trained in, or perhaps that
particular tech had learned from experience (that a slightly restricted
air filter would cause an increase in whatever parameter it was that was
the problem).

Whatever. But the person knows what s/he is talking about, instead of
shotgunning in the dark.

You should try learning something, too! It might actually make you
credible, and then you'd know better than to say a '95 Tercel doesn't
have a knock sensor.

 

No, I actually had the data to prove it. See, that's the difference
between actually doing something and sitting behind a keyboard guessing.

 

Well, I had one of my Corollas fail once, and the tech looked at the test
results and asked when the last time I changed spark plugs, wires, or the
air filter was. Since the car had platinum plugs and only had 60,000
miles on it, I replaced the AF and it passed magnificently.

But, the tech knew how to read and interpret data, something Mr
Bean...er, BEAM needs to learn...

 

the knock sensor that allows the engine to knock? that's funny!

 

but you haven't presented any data -just a number and "because i said so".

 

Yes, I did.

Yes, I did.

whatever...

 

yes, I did.

yes, I did.

whatever...

 

yes, I did.

yes, I did.

don't misquote, and don't snip without notation. basic usenet etiquette.

 

I'm in Waterloo Ontario.
Not on the Camry group.
As far as the "double dipping" it goes on all the time - at Ford
dealerships, Chrysler dealerships, VW dealerships, Mazda dealerships,
Mercedes dealerships, and even, sadly, at some Toyota dealerships.

Never happened at mine when I was in charge. (My shop was not flat
rate 'till after I left)

The time for the belt should be about 3 hours. The time for the pump
should be about 4 hours. The time for both should be the time for the
pump - or the time for the belt plus 1 hour.

If you catch your dealer pulling a fast one, call him on it. If he
doesn't make it right REAL QUICK call your local media and prepare to
meet him in small claims court.
Approach the situation calmly and with your facts well prepared - in
other words - professionally. Helps if you can have either the
Alldata, Toyota, or other flat rate operation codes and numbers to
present.
