wait for it...

12/29/2008 7:16:08 PM

While he looks for that answer, I'll be off to Advance Auto Parts down the road.

12/29/2008 7:17:36 PM

Why?

12/29/2008 7:20:39 PM

THE INTERNET says it's probably a bad fuel cap.

12/29/2008 7:21:56 PM

Let me guess, you cross threaded the gas cap?

12/29/2008 7:22:10 PM

I doubt it. I've gone about 80 miles since the last fill-up, anyway.

12/29/2008 7:24:51 PM

I still want that 50 page answer though.

12/29/2008 7:33:22 PM

maybe your max RPM's are too high.

12/29/2008 9:15:20 PM

...as denoted on the tachometer


exactly how did you feel when this code was thrown?

12/29/2008 9:27:25 PM

Like this:

12/29/2008 10:24:00 PM

12/29/2008 10:38:41 PM

what kind of crap thread is this?

12/29/2008 11:35:02 PM

I got a P0455 code on my RX-8. Vacuum/Exhaust leak of some kind. Still trying to nail it down.

12/29/2008 11:42:18 PM

where is arghx when you need him?

12/29/2008 11:47:28 PM

Well, it's probably one of three things:

1. Gas cap is loose
2. I knocked off a hose when I was changing my oil
3. Catastrophic vacuum leak which will result in my engine being replaced

12/29/2008 11:48:24 PM

he's busy coming up with a 50 page response

12/29/2008 11:52:37 PM

oh, ok.. well we'll just have to wait for him.

12/29/2008 11:55:00 PM

My gas cap was loose. I tightened it. Advance Auto Parts won't clear the code. Let's see what happens.

haha. and besides, it's a fucking mazda. cel's are going to be the norm.

12/30/2008 8:53:09 AM

^^Yeah, this morning the guy said that they're "not allowed to do it."

I'll just do a few drive cycles and see if it goes away.

12/30/2008 9:41:58 AM

WAIT FOR IT...

12/30/2008 9:59:47 AM

That's a solid plan. I can't think of any other way to clear the code.

12/30/2008 10:43:17 AM

I don't have an OBDII scanner

Honestly, though. A vacuum leak would affect my idle RPMs, right?

12/30/2008 12:23:26 PM

disconnect your battery for 15-20 seconds... see if that clears it.

12/30/2008 12:29:20 PM

That sounds dangerous.

12/30/2008 1:31:08 PM

dude..don't be an idiot. He was seriously trying to help. Unplugging the battery will clear all the codes. It usually only takes a few seconds..sometimes it takes a few minutes but either way it will clear the code. You can also continue to drive it and it may/should eventually go away if you fixed the problem. I'd just reset it though as long as you don't have to get it inspected today or anything (have to drive ~50 miles before inspection after you reset)

12/30/2008 1:34:32 PM

I think he knows I was just joking. I did just recently get the car inspected.

12/30/2008 1:37:13 PM

it's a whole lot easier to pull the backup fuse instead of disconnecting a battery.

12/30/2008 9:06:16 PM

I don't know what I am doing!

12/30/2008 9:42:22 PM

maybe you're running low on plutonium

12/30/2008 11:54:36 PM

I have a scantool if you need to clear a DTC.

12/31/2008 8:39:53 AM

arghx can you teach me the ways of the force? by this I mean come over and look at my car

12/31/2008 11:42:30 AM

I think it would be better for you to sell your car and ride a bicycle.

12/31/2008 1:03:19 PM

^The environment would appreciate this too

12/31/2008 1:15:11 PM

I like my engines with pistons and cylinders. thx

12/31/2008 2:49:44 PM

I prefer the torque of an I-4 , the gas mileage of a v-8, and the emissions of a TDI.

I think Gronke needs a big car, just for a change.

It sounds like it's running on double creme.

Are the ones in europe 200hp like the american ones?

12/31/2008 3:50:31 PM

I don't think there's a difference.
