Default Go figure...

The past 2 weeks, I have been putting up with my car going into limp home mode after aqbout a 3-5 minute drive. Now that I am finally done with finals, I was able to make a few drives today with Diacom. I didn't want to connect it because I wanted to wait to get the code (and see if I would be able to link or not). The code would not set.

It is a 7 minute drive to campus, and every day, I had to pull over at a grocery store, gas station, or supermarket parking lot, disconnect the battery to clear the code, and then make the final 1-2 minute drive.

The day I finally want the code that sets me into limp home mode (33 even though vac. gage is right where it should be and matches up with previous Diacom runs I have done), it won't set.

Go figure. It is going to be a loonnnnggggg 200 mile drive, considering I just replaced my waterpump last weekend and somehow the idler is worn, which rode my belt up the A.C pulley and turned my 6 rib belt into a 5 rib. AAA Gold might come in handy-I think I get 3 free 100 mile tows each year I fugure if I get stiuck within 100 miles of my apt, I will head back up here. If I make it past halfway, I can tow to my parents :D Too bad I have already planned this all out. -Matt-
