My Mazda3 is in the dealership for some recall work and they gave me a 2018 CX-9 for a loaner vehicle. Holy poo poo Mazdas are nice now. Heads up display with traffic sign recognition, radar cruise control, lane departure assist, blind spot monitoring, etc. etc. It's an AWD model which starts at 44K according to Mazda's website. Oh and everything you've heard about Mazda's automatics is true: this is a great transmission and feels crisp as hell.

So my mother in law's HHR has been having issues when trying to fill it with gas. It keeps tripping the shutoff every 5 seconds so it takes FOREVER to fill it up. Local indy repair guy I use had no clue and told me to take it to the dealership, and they quoted $2500 to fix it, saying it's some sort of solenoid/valve in the tank that needs to be replaced. The car isn't even worth 2k so no way that's gonna happen. Anyone have an idea if it's possible/safe to bypass this valve?

Charcoal canister and purge valve? Not sure about the HHR, but I know it can happen with many other vehicles will the tank gets "topped up" repeatedly.

Are purge valves normally in the tank? Idk, I need to talk to the service guy because my wife talked to him and she doesn't speak car lol. Dude hasn't returned my call yet so hopefully I'll get more of a detailed answer. I just can't get over the price they quoted wtf.

My brother was expecting his second, and since he lives close by, we had a standing agreement that if the poo poo hit the fan he’d call, 24/7. Well, this morning at 5:30 he called. “Water has broken, it was green, wife has constant contractions, ambulance has been called.” I threw on some clothes and hauled rear end to their place (beating the ambulance by about 15 seconds, I might add  ) Showed the EMTs the way, they took my brother and his wife to the hospital, and I stayed behind and took care of the oldest (who slept through the entire thing.)06:30 I get a picture of a newborn. He was out in three pushes apparently. 11:00 I go to the hospital and drive them all home. Happy everything went well. Having kids really drives home what’s important in life.

So this new battery tender I bought shuts off charging the battery if it decides something isn't quite right(fine), and then runs itself off the battery, draining it(WHAT). loving piece of garbage. Really wanted to go to a car meet this evening as I'm headed back to an automotive desert tomorrow for a long time. Congrats, Bolind.

I'll be getting practice with that when I spray the engine compartment of my '79 RX-7 with catalyzed urethane in the OEM color.

They put the vent tube in a place where spiders can get in, and apparently spiders love hydrocarbons so they move in and wall it off. Only happened on one of mine and it self-cleared so I never had to fix it.

Jesus, august already? but it was -30 like a month ago I installed an SSD and 8gb of ram in my 9 year old laptop, i wasn't expecting much because i don't think it has sata 3.0, but god drat, night and day difference. I can probably get another 9 years out of this thing. e: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/10019395 9 years old! bottom of the pile in terms of all benchmarks, but CPU and GPU performing way above expectations.

Ok talked to service advisor dipshit dude. He's telling me the problem is a "fuel limiter valve" that is stuck closed on the fuel pump and the tank, which ALSO has a fuel limiter valve, and that both the tank and pump need to be replaced. Lol. The fuel limiter valve(s) being stuck closed is causing the tank pressure sensor gently caress up and not allow fuel in. Apparently. This is what a rip off artist is telling me so I'm assuming it probably just needs a new $40 fuel pump. I'm posting in the HHR forums as well to see if anyone else had had the same issue, hopefully i can figure it out. [edit] a google search of "fuel limiter valve HHR" turns up nothing so I think this is all a load of bullshit Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Aug 1, 2018 |

Holy gently caress my eyes been irritated all morning, it kinda hurts for a moment when I blink. Checked just now and there's a loving pimple on the inside of my lower eyelid. Doing my best not to rub it and I've got eye drops so I can rinse it out if it pops, but still, god drat.

Lol. The charcoal canister vent valve is most likely stuck, meaning its building up excess fuel vapor in the tank and causing the gas pump to shut off. I had that problem with the avalanche for 7 years and just never fixed it because it would be a recurring issue with me driving on lime rock roads regularly. Other option is the charcoal canister itself is plugged up.

Goddamn, insurance is so hosed in this country. I am a salaried employee for a Fortune motherfucking TEN company...For me to get allergy shots (nothing OTC works, this is my best chance of something working since I'm allergic to literally everything) would max out my deductible ($3500) and likely out of pocket max ($5500 I think?) this year, and do the same for the next 3-5 years. They said with my insurance that it's about $5-600 per shot. You get a bunch of them up front (4-5) then monthly after that for 3-5 years since you need the shots for that length of time for permanent results. Big ole fuckin' nope on that, I'll live with it.
