I've got a brain buster of a problem w/my zx3

Whatever you say man. We all know who's thickheaded. You're dumb ass isn't worth my arguement.

You guys are cracking me up. Especially mr stringcheese here. Telling people to go tune a carb shows your age. Once again, we have a fine example of someone from the days when you tuned the carb, not the computer who is passing judgement upon this generation of gearheads. It's people like you who pull onto the road in a late 70s model muscle car, thinking they own the road, only to have their doors blown off by someone in their 20s running a turbo on a 4banger making more horsepower with half the cylinders. Congrats, you found out that your focus's problem was the thermo switch. But look at it from everyone elses viewpoint (if your head isnt too far up your own ass), if you tell them you have no O2 sensors, and your having problems with air/fuel ratio and your ECU is throwing codes at you, the first thing a mechanic is going to check is to see if the lack of O2 sensors is the problem, just like everyone did. But no, you resorted to childish name calling and insults, which gets you no where in this forum. As for the research your roots comment, many of us do know our roots. Maybe you should take your own advice and research your future, since its the cars of today that are consistantly ripping the cars of yesterday a new ass on the street and the track.

Also, in case you didnt notice because you didnt have your bifocals on, the mustang in sk8ter_in_ny's pic is a toy car. Looks about 1/24 scale. And you're calling us the dumb asses.

TWIZZLE DOG....RE-READ THE POSTS. How does a car that needs O2 sensors to run do it with out them for 85,000 miles?
Also wasn't there a fuel crisis in the seventies that severly slowed the muscle cars of the 60's.
Besides these are street automobiles. There's not a car on a track under 700 horses. Let alone 500. Most old muscle cars have well over 1200 before they remove thier lights to hit the drag tracks.
Just remember Detroit had the first paved road for automobiles in the ever in the whole world.

wtf does all that have to do with you being an asshat?? Most muscle cars have well over 1200 before they ever hit the track?? Where did you come up with those numbers?? 1200HP would torque the living crap out of most unibodies without extensive reinforcing. No one I know here has half that HP in their muscle cars, but yet almost every single one of them is at the drag strip every thursday night. I believe 1200HP is more of a top fuel number, correct??

Also, your car may run without o2 sensors, but unless you're chip is ghosting a signal for the o2 sensors, which can be very bad in the event of a mishap, your focus will never run to it's fullest capabilities.

And what does Detroit having the first paved roads for automobiles have to do with anything? Just because you're from the Detroit doesn't mean you're all of the sudden an automotive know-it-all. Maybe you need to study up on the present and future, just as twizzle said. Carborators are obsolete, old man. Get with the times.

Once again, we were only trying to help you out and you started with the stupid crap of, "well I'm older, I'm from detroit, I have friends that work for ford, you're not as old as me, and you're a liberal." Please...spare us all the childish BS. You're worse than the ricers...

Twizzle dog? wtf kind of lame ass attempt at an insult is that? Apparently you don't know much about todays cars at all or keep up with current trends in drag racing. I can guarantee you that you put a Charger making 700 horses up against a WRX making 700 horses to not just 2 wheels but all 4, guess who is coming out the winner? It sure as hell isn't the Charger. And it doesn't have to be a WRX, it can be a Supra, a Skyline, or any other sport compact. That Charger is getting its ass handed to him. But this is beside the point. The point is you're being a real prick when everyone here was merely trying to help out a fellow Focus owner. Once you started being an ass to everyone who was trying to help, it didn't matter what your cars problem was. From then on, the problem was you being a real ass to people who were trying to help. Maybe you shouldn't fuck around with a car that you don't understand. Once again, research your present and future. The past is exactly that, the past. Meaning you can't always take what you know about cars from the past and apply it to todays cars. Its because of this you fucked your Focus up.

Assuming things and jumping to conclusions are also characteristics of being dense or obtuse. Hey world I'd like to know, have I made my point?

[Diesel2NR]

what point? you have no point. All you did was be an asshat towards people who were trying to help you. What's the point??

[pre98zetec]

apparently his point is that you can runa car without o2 censors,

sure, you can.. but it's very harmfull to the motor, he's too

must be why you're driving a focus, eh?

and don't start sayin you own one until you can get me a picture of one with proof that you own it in the picture.

[stringcheese]

Probably no credit either!!! hahahaha (still laughing!)

[stringcheese]

I wouldn't buy a kid car I just use my Focus for work to keep from getting upside down on cars. I put too many miles on to drive anything else for work.
