6756, Service Engine Soon Posted by daved, Nov-09-01 04:51 AM
A Servie Engine Soon light means that there is a problem with emisions correct? Well I still have that code on and it's that damn evap shit. I also can't put gas in the car, is it this evap shit or is there something else wrong?
Help me out guys with any ideas I am to the point I will try anything I am tired of spending 40 minutes at the gas station to get a full tank of gas and Satan can't seem to fix it.

man, thats gotta suk. there's a gas station like a mile away from my house, and u chill in your ride, and they pump the gas for u, no extra charge at all (but u gotta him em w/a buk or 2 sumtimes) that would be sum funny shit if you rolled up there and made them pump your shit, lol.
anyways, my idea probably isnt a good one, but take off all your mods, and go back to stock, trade your car for a similar clipse w/out the CEL and one u can clik on the handle of the gas pumper and you can chill and not worry bout that shit nomore. imo

Buy a super AFC and ture your car up with that. My CEL used to come on alot(like every 150-200 miles) before I got my super afc. Now I only get it like every 2000 miles. In fact I just took a trip to Moscow ID and back and raced her all the way, and didn't get a CEL. Bout a 1000 mile trip.

Shit ya I would love to get a Super AFC. Theres just one problem with that, I ain't got no job nor money. My credit cards are at the limits I can barly make my $15 minimum payment each month. Been lookin for a job but nobody is hiring right now. Allot of places I have gone said they don't need help because business is down and the economy is struggling due to the shit that happened in New York. I have tried everywhere, bestbuy, circuit city, sound advice, the local grocery stores, resturants. Havent hit up the malls yet but I guess thats where Iam going to have to try, I mean come on its fuckin november a month before christmas the places in the malls gotta need help!
Shit if I would of not gotten fired from my old job I would be boostin by now. Been out of a job for awhile now and I have been going into my turbo funds to live.

i hadda problem with my car where i was pumpin gas in it and it would just shut off on me like it was full. took it to a garage and the guy said there's some valve in the stem that goes down tot the tank that stops it when it's full. he like removed it or whatever if this is what it's doin at the pump than there ya go. for your check engine light do the key dance, without starting the car turn the key on-off-on-off-on than watch the engine light and count the blinks when it pauses it's a break meaning there's a new number. 55 is end of codes the rest you can look up on the main site.
