HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 18 VOL 13
MONDAY AUGUST 18TH 2008
WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 67/86 DEGREES
MOM GOT HOME OK FROM 8:00 MASS! I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED SINCE SHE WAS IN THE ACCLAIM WITH NO WORKING ALTERNATOR! SHE SAID EVERYTHING WENT FINE, NO PROBLEMS! THAT’S A GOOD BATTERY IN THE ACCLAIM, IT HAS A 5YEAR WARANTEE FROM WAL-MART!
KELLY GOT HOME FROM WORK AND HAD SOME THINGS TO DO FOR GLENDA THEN HE STARTED WORKING ON THE INTREPID! THE FIRST THING HE FOUND WAS THE VACUUM DIAPHRAM ON THE EGR VALVE WAS BURND UP, I MEAN BURNED TO A CRISP! HE PULLED THE PLENUM AND REPLACED THE EGR VALVE ASSY. AND THE PCV VALVE THEN THE TWO 02 SENSORS!
WHEN HE GOT DONE MOM AND I WENT OUT TO LATINIS TO SEE HOW IT RAN AND TO TAKE SOME THINGS OUT TO CHARLEEN! AS SOON AS I HEADED DOWN THE DRIVE WAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS STILL WRONG, IT JUST DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE THE GAS SO I HAD TO PUSH ON IT PRETTY HARD! WE GOT OUT ON THE ROAD TO THE DAM AND I HAD TO REALLY SHOWER DOWN ON IT TO GET TO 50 MPH! IN FACT I PUSHED IT IN TO PASSING GEAR AND IT GOT TO 75 AND SHIFTED TO OVER DRIVE BEFORE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN TO GO TO LATINIS!
NOW THIS IS WEIRD, WE GOT ON THE SPUR GOING OUT TO LATINIS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SARTED TO RUN LIKE A NEW CAR, SMOOTH SHIFTING, ALL THE POWER I COULD WANT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN CRUISE IT PULLED A LONG HILL ON THE SPUR WITHOUT LOSENG SPEED!
IT’S LIKE THE WIRES ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE BACKWARDS, WHEN THE LIGHT’S OUT IT RUNS LIKE CRAP WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON IT DOES SOMETHING TO THE WHOLE SYSTEM AND IT RUNS FINE!
I’M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK SOMEBODY WITH MORE SMARTS THAN I’VE GOT TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME! THE ONLY THING THAT’S CONSTANT ON THE CAR IS THE KEY CODES! WE TOOK THEM THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE GOT HOME AND THEN TODAY WE TOOK THEM AGAIN AND GOT EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBERS! IT’S POSSIBLE THAT WHEN KELLY WIRED THE OTHER HARNESS IN WE GOT THAT HE’S GOT SOME WIRES IN THE WRONG PLACE! WE’LL HAVE TO RUN THE COLOR CODES ON THE WIRES AND BE SURE THEY’RE WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSD TO BE!
MOM HAS TO GO HELP SHANNON IN THE MORNING, SHE’S HAVING SOME KIND OF INSPECTION THAT HAS TO DO WITH HER ADOPTION OF KONNER AND HE MUST BE THERE SO MOM WILL HAVE TO HOLD ON TO HIM, THERE’S NO WAY SHANNON CAN CHASE HIM WITH HER FOOT IN A CAST!
WE’VE GOT TO HAVE A CAR WE CAN DEPEND ON TO MAKE THE TRIP TO MUSKOGEE, OK. TUESDAY SO I’LL TAKE THE ACCLAIM TO START RIGHT TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR FIXED TOMORROW!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
