I see ferocious behavior _after_ said adoption. Locking up said 'friend' in the basement for sexual endeavors along with multiple acts of agression and torture/bondage will lead to psychological problems with emotional scarring. I say you stick to just your "catch & release" method like you've been doing all along

Hey Turco, Do you think my TPS could have done that due to the rain? because today I drove home and my car was fine but then when I pulled it into my driveway I noticed it was idling kinda low and sometimes to the point it felt like it would have stalled and then the rpms would slowly rise back to normal idle. I also poped my hood and noticed alot of water near my intake but the filter itself felt dry.

Damn, I also just found out my Perrin FMIC is back ordered! Looks like I'll have to push the tuning date back. Hopefully I can get it done by the 1st of May.

Josh- does your car idle drop low to the point it almost stalls when the rpm's are dropping from the 2500+ rpm range? What intake do you have on your car? If you have a hardpipe it may be contributing to this fault you are having. I can only assume that its a mixed reading from the MAF sensor (for an erratic idle). Only on random occasions, prior to my tune, my car would do this same thing with the AEM intake.

He is a bulldog/pit bull/lab mix I think. It's hard to tell. He doesn't have a pitbull head, but he's short and stocky. He is definitely a character- he didn't want to go back into his pen, so he just kept laying on the ground looking up and almost saying "please don't put me in there." LOL

They said he's about 1 year old, but he listened to commands really well and was super friendly. He didn't really care about other dogs too much- he just kinda looked at them and that was it. They claim he's been socialized.

There was one potential adopter ahead of me, so I'm waiting to hear back from the animal rescue.

It drops from a normal idle at ~800 and goes down to ~300 rpms and then slowly rises back to 800. I'm also running the AEM Intake and it's not tuned yet. I guess I'm paranoid now since that happened lol but the car has felt fine. Pulls hard but I haven't pushed it too hard since I have a boost cut in 3rd gear. It also hasnt had an erratic idle for the past 3 days. It's just so weird how it was acting all crazy on thursday and I didnt even do anything to it other than pull the code and not drive it to work on friday and now its fine.

That's awesome. Rainier was 4.5 months when I got him and for some reason he picked up very fast with commands. Never really had a problem with him, and as we know he's super social. I hope you get him! Does he have a name, if not what are you thinking? Sounds like Rai will finally have a buddy his size and gender (All the other dogs he plays with are smaller and mostly female, except the one large lab).

His name is Odin.

No word from the shelter today- hopefully tomorrow. He's still listed as available, though....

He's mostly black with some brindle coloring. Very cool looking.

If it falls through, I'll still be looking, so if you see of anything, please let me know.

SUPER cute, you can really see the pit/boxer in his face. It figures to, my friend had to get rid of her 4 month old pit female 2 weeks ago, had I known you were looking I would have called you Mike. I'll keep my ears open for anything else.

On another note, I have big news, just got confirmation tonight my girlfriend and I are now officially expecting. Took two tests over the weekend and a blood test today. It's totally unexpected but very welcome. Didn't think I would be a Dad so young, but everything happens for a reason, and needless to say I'm excited.

So this will be the season to make count. I'm going to get as much racing/AutoX-ing/etc in as I can while putting away money for the baby. My guess right now (until she confirms) is it should be here sometime in November?

Anyway, wanted to share. I'm excited. Sorry if that doesn't contribute to the thread, but damnit I'm going to be a Dad!
