No HP to be had. Removing it can make the engine ping in some cases.

I just don't have a life thats all. lol I do enjoy it. Keeps me from doing house work. hehe Think I will put the cams in tomorrow. Should keep me busy for a few hours. To bad it snowed today I was almost getting traction in first gear. Oh well I will have to wait for summer to find out what I can make this thing do.

Hey I used to live in Pensacola. I went to UWF for a year, got kicked out, went to PJC for two years, graduated then moved down here to Ft. Myers. Pensacola smells funny. Fun town to party in though...obviously.

Hey Thomp...I was born here 47 years ago and it only smelt funny for 3 years. Oh that's right, you were here for that 3 years..!! Just kidding. I love this town. I live on the water in Gulf Breeze. My back yard is the sound. The beach bridge is just to the left of my house and the back of my house faces the beach. I just got out of the swimming pool. Heated of course. 70 degrees outside and sunny. Pool 95 degrees. Yea CW, I'm rubbing it in...!!
Ft Meyers is a beautiful place also.

the 442 code is an evaperative system leak. thats what it was on
my truck. turns out the gas cap if it is lose can trigger this code.
check the cap and reset your computer by removeing the
negative terminal from your battery....
Hope this helps
