Got this in an email today, check it out

They run 10 mph, jump  three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so they only come out at  night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocaine so you go numb instantly. You  don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping,  so you wake up with part of your leg or arm  missing  because it has been gnawing on it all night long.  

If you are walking  around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It  will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the  whole time it is chasing you.  

 

PS. The one on the  bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by our troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one  of  these bastards in your tent!!  

lol.. not sure how true it is.. might do a little bit of research in to the camel spider.

Reminds me of one of those little creatures from the movie Aliens.

Ah - It must have been Tom Skerrit Hussein's beard that threw me :P

BTW: At the bottom of the Snopes page on the link above is a Camel Spider video - nasty little buggers. They do look just like a face-hugger.

Ripley!

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
