Yesterday I got the rear brakes done and bled. I played with TBI, but no matter what it kept leaking. Then my son called and asked me to help replace the passenger front window in "La Cucaracha". It's an '06 Altima that's been wrecked three times. Every time he thinks he's killed it, it keeps running. "Oh, the rear wheel is also loose." he says. We jacked it up and the rear hub wobbled. I wish Pull-A-Part had a frequent buyer discount. We got the parts for his car and he left for work while I returned home.
I got a set of better condition sun visors and painted them black and installed them. I installed $40 worth of Pyle "Blue Label" 4x6s. There are probably a few of you recoiling in horror, but my tinnitus is bad enough that high-dollar speakers don't sound any different to me any more. Take care of your ears, God only gives you one pair. The only downside so far is that the factory speaker grilles don't fit well over the coaxials.
View media item 32131After church today I was supposed to go help do more work on La Cucaracha, but my son picked up an extra shift, so sometime later this week...
Instead I went out in the shop and pulled the injector pod on the TBI apart again. I popped the injectors out, inspected the o-rings, and reinstalled everything just as it was. It appears to not be leaking any more, but the plugs are fouled now. Tomorrow, if it's above 50*, I'll pull the plugs, pop the headers loose, put copper Permatex on the header gaskets, re-install, clean the plugs, re-install, and see if I can get it running.
