running lean

well I thought that there might be a cheaper way of handling the matter..(sorry but money doesn't grow on trees if you know what I mean) and as far as the codes....I don't know them right off hand but it said that both o2's were bad and they said that for some reason if both of them were bad then most likely the maf is bad. and I checked on mitsubishioemparts.com (or something like that) and they wanted like 350 or round there some where for it. (I'm kinda tipsy so forgive the vaguness and excuse the spelling) to be completely honest I make like 350-400 a week and pretty much all of it goes to my car....but it can only stretch so far...lmao.....okay I'll shut up now....wow......

ok i can get the MAF for you, anything else you want? he's parting the whole car! btw its a GT sporty w/ not enough extras, 2000 fed spec

...125 or so for the MAF

[nexx777]

well crap....that sounds good but it'l be like 2 weeks till I can come up with the money. mine's a 01 gt fed spec 5spd. prolly doesn't but does it matter that his is sporty and mine's a 5? and how do you propose to do the purchasing and shipping for this? I'VE GOT IT!!! you could just give it to me and ship it no charge and that could be my christmas present! thanks man!!! what a guy!

HA!! its not mine, so if it was all mine i'd do that, but its my friend's and its 125 + shipping as far as i kno, shipping can't be more than 6$ on this piece, and i kno it'll ahve to be wrapped in a ziplock and fragile plastered all over it.... EH oh well

if you've got paypal i can work that out somehow, or a money order errrr whatever makes you most comfortable
Maf's are all the same, ECU's are different, so it wouldn't be that
and i'm pretty sure his is a fed spec (2000)

have you talked to a mechanic to make sure this is the correct item to fix it? i'd have for you to buy something you don't need

[nexx777]

ya....actually I haven't talked to really ne one that is sertified to make that assumption. but from what I know that's prolly the problem.....but an update......I've been smelling coolant from the exhaust. I sure as hell hope that that doesn't mena a blown head gasket......dohhh!!!!!!

[Sleepr awd]

coolant is a bad thing, its a good smell, but a bad bad thing

yeah i've used the site a couple of times to get parts. since its located in washington state and im in SC, ground shipping takes forever.
