@ trb: I brought it into the garage Saturday. Unfortunately, it got to the point that I couldn't even move forward at all, so I got it towed in...:( There was no opportunity to check if it's anything else. I'm sure the flywheel will need to be resurfaced...a burning smell started right before it cra...

Darnnit...that's exactly what I hoped you wouldn't say...

BabyCatcher

Hi Guys/Ladies...:) Haven't been on in a long while, mainly b/c I've had no issues! However, my poor baby has a serious problem now & I'm wondering if I can get your opinions as to what it might be? It's been getting progressively worse over the last month, but I feel like it's been building up ...

BabyCatcher

Those were gross/funny & helpful! I think I'll take the cowling off & put some screening in there. I definitely don't want mummified baby mice next winter!

BabyCatcher

Mummified baby mice in your cabin filters!?!?! (removed)! I would have a freakin' heart attack!!!I am so grossed out, I can't even speak.

BabyCatcher

Thanks! That was in Sept, on my move from Toronto to Vancouver. I believe it was in Montana...Btw, I love my Roof Bag...

BabyCatcher

Thx! As you know, it was a piece of cake...so easy, a man could do it! Quote, originally posted by cptnsolo77 Â»Cool!The first time I cleaned the MAF I noticed better throttle response. It was a bit dirty & im sure it was never cleaned before. I clean it about twice a year just for good measure ...

BabyCatcher

Actually, I use my hands...babies are too slippery to just use nails! :DQuote, originally posted by Kincaid Â»You catch babies with those nails?!

BabyCatcher

You know, I've had this high idle thing since I got the car & I've never once had an engine light come on...if I did, it would @ least point me in a direction! ~sigh~Quote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY Â»On a bit of a side note, I cleaned our MAF/IAT sensors today. The Vibes do seem to idle a ...

BabyCatcher

Invariably, I wind up with men that are vehicularly challenged. It would be nice to have one who could @ least change the oil...I'm not willing to compromise my nails for $30...Quote, originally posted by Water boy Â»With nails like that I'd thought for sure all you had to do was point and your BF w...

BabyCatcher

Speaking of filters...when I did my glovebox one, I was HORRIFIED!!! Whomever had the car before me obviously had never changed it and it was FULL of mouse poop! I was appalled that I had been breathing that in...~eww~ Photo below.Quote, originally posted by ponta2147 Â»I will add it to my "yea...

BabyCatcher

Thanks guys... Especially thank you for the photos...looks pretty darn easy!

BabyCatcher

Has anyone replaced theirs? Doing some more Googling, my high idle problem may be that...but I'd like to know if it's straightforward to do by oneself? I don't have a book, but I do a lot of my own work.

BabyCatcher

It definitely did...temporarily. I don't think that the MAF was my problem. I've also tuned it up a couple of times, replaced all filters & the O2 sensor appears to be fine. Perhaps I just need to adjust the idle...~sigh~

BabyCatcher

Nope...she has you for that! Quote, originally posted by keithvibe Â»can you come teach my wife.

BabyCatcher

I've had a long standing high idle issue, which I've tried to deal with in various ways, but nothing has really fixed it. I'm open to new ideas if anyone has any...I thought I'd post my photo log of cleaning the MAF, since many women seem to feel intimidated by doing easy, but specialized work on th...

BabyCatcher

So, my new baby(name suggestions accepted) just got a new set of Kumho JU25s, 215/50/17s. I was feeling really good about them the first few days, but now...notsomuch. Yesterday and today, on dry, winter pavement, they have been juddering as I pull off from a stop @ a light or stop sign. Now, I'm aw...

BabyCatcher

They are boring...the others are just too complacent to realise it...;DNice car, btw...where'd you get the dimpled bumper guard? I'd love one of those...Quote, originally posted by MSAGRO Â»I'm with you babycatcher for waiting for the Orange Vibe. Hard to find but worth it.Makes other colors seem bo...

BabyCatcher

I'm going to a resort just outside of Guardalavaca, where I went nearly 2yrs ago, called Playa Pesquero. The people are wonderful, as is the area... I feel badly for the Americans, b/c they can't take advantage of such a beautiful, close, affordable destination... I like going to Cuba b/c of all of ...

BabyCatcher

Ahh, okay...got it. Since that's the case, I wonder why he said 'brings back memories', it can't have been that long ago?You're the 1st I've heard of having an envy...it would've been my 2nd choice, but I got my first!Thx! :DQuote, originally posted by epcIII Â» I realize it's an old thread but...

BabyCatcher

I love TN, especially middle TN...but you've got a serious tick problem there.

BabyCatcher

Thx! It was actually about 6mnths of serious looking and 5yrs of wanting. It's the first time I've ever gotten exactly the car I wanted, so I'm jazzed... I did post them now, btw...see above!

BabyCatcher

I despise snow! I don't ski, hate the cold and can't stand hockey...I'm really, quite a bad Canadian. I'm off to Cuba in a couple of weeks, for a week, before I leave for BC...went to Jamaica in October, too. I'd much rather lie on a beach than be anywhere else.I can, however, drink like a fish...so...

BabyCatcher

Thx! Me too...

BabyCatcher

Thx muchly...Nope, but close! I'm a midwife...once I move, I'm gettin' the license plate.

BabyCatcher

If you do, talk to Dennis...it was his cottage. He's been there for >20yrs, so I doubt he's going anywhere!I did, and NB has amazing highways...all brand new and smooth, along with a higher speed limit! And stick is the only way to go. What's the point in driving if you're not connected!?!Yep, a muf...

BabyCatcher

You certainly may! I'm always willing to show off... I hope this works...I had to sign up for photo hosting and have no idea which code to use here.

BabyCatcher

That I bought my new baby back in early Sept! Got an '04 Sunburst GT...exactly what I wanted, but it was damn hard to find...oh, so worth it.I had to fly to Fredericton, New Brunswick! But, since there were only 2 others available in the whole country, I picked the closest one.It was about a 16hr dr...

BabyCatcher

Totally different, but similar interests...Former OB...or L&D?

BabyCatcher

Thx raffe!

BabyCatcher

Midwife...Hence wanting the Vibe...fold flat front seat is great for quick note taking for calls and paperwork...tie downs in the trunk are needed for strapping down my birth bag, O2 tanks, etc...ETA: And standard is important so I can ALWAYS start my car!

BabyCatcher

Thanks for the welcome Blue and Arcs...

BabyCatcher

Thanks for that info! I do like a couple of other colours, but they seem even harder to find! I'd love Envy (But that's only '03 and impossible to find!) and I'd be good with Salsa, Abyss or Silver...I've recently seen a brown one and an icy blue one...but I have no idea if they are original colours...

BabyCatcher

Thx reb!

BabyCatcher

I've been wanting a Vibe since '03, but haven't had the ability to get one till recently...which I'm very happy about!Because I'm well versed as to the car itself, I get very irritated when dealers list Vibes as 'loaded' and they are simply base with a power package or some such thing. It also ticks...
