I need help using SEAFOAM on my car?
Hi. I plan on Seafoaming my 09 Lancer with 45K miles.
I was going to more or less follow the steps in this write up... http://www.lt1engine.com/tech/how-to-seafo...carbo... . I'm pretty nervous about this and wanted to clarify a few things
1st I plan on pouring 1/3 can into my gas tank with 1/2 a tank of gas.
2nd I pour 1/3 can into the reservoir that I usually pour my motor oil in. I complete an oil change after a maximum of 100 miles.
3rd I will remove the hose that is going into the little box that you pour the brake fluid into. I will put a funnel into the hose, and pour ~6 oz of seafoam as slow as possible. (I read a some people say they like to dunk the hose into the can of seafoam and let it "sip" the liquid, but as the guy said in the write up I posted above, I feel it's a lot more controlled if I pour it in via a funnel). At this point I quickly dump the remaning 2 oz of seafoam into the hose.
**This is the part that worries me the. I keep reading how it's possible to Hydro lock the car (not quite sure what that means), and I fear that dumping the reamaing liquid would possibly cause this to happen. Is it safe to this? **
After pouring the remaining 2 oz it into the engine, it should apparently stall, and if it does not, I should shut off the car. At this point I let it sit for 10-15 mins. Then I start the car (which may be difficult), and let it idle for 15 mins. Then I take it for an aggressive drive, revving the engine as much as safely possible.
I plan on doing this all on the same day. Does that sound about right? What are the causes of hydro locking the engine, and what can I do to prevent this?
Thanks for the help.

4 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoPlease help me fix file names when copying FROM iTunes.?
I had an iPod with 1300+ songs. My computer crashed so I trasnfered the files to my new computer via the iPod. All my ratings were deleted, and a lot of the file names were messed up. For example, about 1/4 of the file names were just letters, such as "JDKI" instead of "Kid Cudi- Soundtrack to My Life". I went through each song, and fixed the title, but the original file is still messed up. The name in itunes is okay, and it's okay on my iPhone (im syncing to iphone now, not ipod). But in the folder, the name is still "JDKI". What do i do?
I want the names of my files in windows explorer to be correct as well. This would be VERY helpful for me to sort through the songs. Is there a way to fix this??
THanks.
4 AnswersMusic & Music Players1 decade agoHow should I phrase this sentence?
this is going to be my thesis statement, so I need help phrasing it properly.
Though we may not realize it, we allow subtle cues in our environments to have (IDK if "to have" makes sense) a great influence on our behaviors; thus making our intentions and desires seemingly irrelevant to the decisions we make.
I don't know if I properly used the colon or if the thus is the correct word to use.
can you help me rephrase/adjust this thesis sentence for 10 points?? thanks.

2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoI need help buying a laptop.?
Hello.
Looking for some recommendations. I live at school and I need to take my laptop home on the weekends and take it occasionally to class. I don’t mind it being a little heavy, but I don’t want to lug around a desktop either.
I download a lot of music, some programs/games, and I do a lot of web browsing (videos, sometimes games, etc.). I need a reliable computer that will last 4+ yrs. My budget is around $5-600. I don’t need a fancy graphics card.
Any suggestions? I was thinking about ACER. My g/f bought one for $489 w/ a lot of free stuff. It’s an Aspire 6530.
Acer seems pretty good, but I don’t know anything bout comps.
Can you recommend some specific models? Also, any specifics like how much RAM, the processor, etc would be great.
I don't need a huge screen. I don't want a netbook or anything that is mostly for light use (word processing, email, etc.). I will be using it a bit more than that.
Thanks so much.
5 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoI can't install Microsoft Word.?
Hi. I'm having a problem. I have Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student edition on my computer. I had the trial installed, but it stopped working. I tried to uninstall it, but it says
"Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from teh original source disc or download location"
I tried to re-download it, but upon reinstallation, I get the same error message.
I think it's a problem w/ the registry, but I'm not sure.
Is there a program to remove this program and all of it's components, or to reset the registry, or to uninstall it in any way?
Thanks.
1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoHow to hide wires in wall?
Hi. I have a shelf on my wall and I have some lights connected to the shelf. I would like to run the wires through the wall and have it come out of the bottom of the wall.
How would I do this? The outlet is directly below the wires, but I don't want it to hang down the wall.
I wanted to place a hole in the wall, put the wires in the hole, and let the wires hang down. i would then put another hole in the wall near the baseboard, and fish the wire through. I'm just not sure how to do it.
Not sure if that made sense. Thanks for the help.
1 AnswerDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoHow Reliable are Lancers?
Hi. I'm planning on buying a slightly used (6K miles) 09 Lancer.
I would like to know how reliable they are. I read the paint tends to chip, but how is the overall reliability of these cars?
I know it's hard to judge being as though it's an 09, but I would appreciate any input, and ppl haven't had too much time for problems to occur. Any input, even on older comparable models.
I am planning on keeping this car for 5-10 yrs. I know honda toyota are more reliable, but are Lancers strong as well? I know problems will occur as with any car, but I'm not sure how many and how often.
I've never had a Mitsubishi, and don't want to regret it years down the line.
Would you recommend it?? Thanks.

6 AnswersMitsubishi1 decade ago08 Civic Si, or 09 Lancer?
Hi. I'm torn between 2 cars.
09 Lancer ES Sport w/ 6K miles for $15,000. It's manual trans and 6 disc changer and bluetooth. (really nice rally red color)
08 Civic Si w/ 8K miles for $19,000. (has all included features like sunroof etc). Pretty common black.
The Civic obviously has a better resale value, and is more reliable. But I like the Lancer better. BUT then my dad likes Hondas over lancers so it's really tough.
Both are after taxes, fees and everything.
What do you think? Thanks.
4 AnswersBuying & Selling1 decade agoShould I buy this car?? It was in an accident?
Hi. I'm planning on buying a car that is a really good deal (price wise). Problem is, it's been in an accident.
I have a copy of the police report. The report says the majority of the damage was to area "4" which is the passenger side fender, and the report says that the driver tried to leave the scene of accident, which makes me think that car was still running.
Please note that the Carfax says the airbag DID deploy. Here's the info I have.
The car has under 7K miles. According to the Carfax, the owner barely drove the car after the accident.
Of course I'll have some one look at it, but what do you think?
Thanks.

5 AnswersHalloween1 decade agoHow to hood up xbox 360 to HDVT?
I have a 52" RCA Scenium HDTV monitor tv set. I tried hooking up my 360 to it in the back. I connected the blue green red red and yellow plugs into the tv. I get a pretty clear picture, and good sound, but its not in HD. The colors aren't good (like blood is greenish instead of red), and theres colored lines that appear across the screen horizontally every few seconds.
Am i doing something wrong, or is my tv not compatible, or do i have to buy an adapter or something?
I have the wire switched to HDTV not TV so thats not it
thanks
3 AnswersXbox1 decade agoHow to smile sincerely?
I read a few books on gaining confidence and they all say smile a lot. Also, they say when you see a cute girl looking at you, to look into her eyes and smile.
My question is doesn't it look weird to constantly be smiling. I think i would look like a psycho with a constant grin.
ALso, won't the girl think i'm a weirdo if i just have a normal face and then just start grinning when she looks at me?
any advice on how and when to smile?? thanks.

My question is what's the difference between Dvr and tivo. What are the services i can get with Time Warner, and what devices can i buy that will work with their service? Can i just buy any box and connect the service?
Thanks
