  • 97 Escort turns over, won't start.?

    I've sprayed starting fluid into throttle body, replaced plugs, fuel pressure regulator.

    IT has spark at plug...and fuel.

    I even pulled plugs and placed the wires on them and put plugs by holes while cranking it over. It shot flames out of each plug hole.

    I bought an OBD scanner and it gave a shift solenoid code.

    I'm stumped. WHY WONT THIS THING START?

  • Where exactly do I report corruption?

    Who do police, prosecutors and court appointed attornies answer to (BESIDES GOD)....because I am being victimized as someone too poor to afford good counsel as law enforcement lie in court...after they assaulted me in front of my mother and fiance'. As I look forward to jury trial... I fret about how far they will go...paying off jurors to cover their own behinds as I sit behind bars...unable to protect my family.

  • If a lawyer takes an excessive force lawsuit....?

    On a contingency basis (I get paid...he gets paid), and is over 125 miles away from the county being sued... Is this good? He seemed very pleased to have been presented my evidence. Being below the poverty level..as well as INNOCENT.....I want the cop to pay for traumatizing my family as I was being compliant. Immunity for law enforcement is a crock...especially when they are crooked. I am 60 some credits towards a law degree...and the arrest was over my placing a registered sex offender on his **** for requesting sexual favors from my fiance...harassing my mother...and calling my fiance a f'n c#nt. The investigating officer put the perverts address on my felony warrant...and one of the county idiots bashed me in the face for NO REASON....AND PROCEEDED TO GRIND THE CUFFS UP AND DOWN MY FOREARMS WHEN I HAD ALLOWED THEM TO BE PLACED ON MY WRISTS... WHAT ARE WE...AS AMERICANS...SUPPOSED TO EXPECT FROM THOSE WE PAY TO "serve and protect"?

  • Campus Violence...security too lazy to follow up?

    You are crossing the lot after your first day back on campus...ready to go home. You hear a male screaming obscenities at a female...and ultimately, you intervene to dissipate his aggression towards yourself instead of her. Mr. Mouth then secures a HAMMER from his vehicle and advances toward you. After you assure him that his weapon will end up in your tool box, and he will go to the hospital...he drops the hammer. You know the ignorance towards the female will continue even after the parking lot drama..so you contact campus security. They pretty much DO NOTHING..and a few days later..despite the fact you gave a vehicle descripiton, plate number..and subject description, you are the one who has to "corner" the individual until one of the old farts teaching kids to be cops mosies up to the class room. I was told by this idiot that they wouldn't even pull him out of class. Now, I am beginning to realize why college campus violence has become such an epidemic. Because those who wear badges aren't always worth the money they are paid. As of now...no criminal charges have been pursued. I am amazed. Had it been some other student, one less scary than myself...the individual may have been assaulted...don't our children deserve to be safe at school?

  • This is one of those questions that will take thought?

    In an attempt to deviate from the confines of a simply rhetorical question, I will itemize this question numerically..I'm not trying to get your attention with the use of words, I'm trying to burn a few moments before class, looking for YOUR DEEPEST, HEARTFELT OPINIONS....SO HERE GOES...

    1. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IT HAS BECOME SO EASY FOR CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK TO COME INTO THE WORLD? While I know sex is a valuable, and favored pass-time....why do you think it is that so may young couples hit the rocks on the ocean of love soonafter a child is concieved? (sexist answers relying on the "dead-beat" parent analogy will be given a low rating.)

    2. WHY DOES THE LEGAL SYSTEM MAKE IT SO EASY FOR ONE PARENT TO BE ALIENATED FROM THE CHILD, EVEN BEFORE BIRTH?

    These are things that...for the most part, I already have my own answers. I was with a woman for roughly a year....was given the title "daddy" by her children...and did all I could to be the best parent for them that I could....only to reach the end of the relationship as her mouth uttered "I love you, but I'm not in love with you"....after I proposed, was told yes, and we were made aware that we were expecting a child....(via store-bought tests...and DR.) For my proposal...I dressed up like Pepe' Le Pew, and dropped to one knee at her workplace....we were happy...and now this... Baby is due in May, and my "expectant" father anxiety is peaking...wtf? Just trying to make sense of it all....and prepare myself for the task of being a long distance dad.....while knowing full well that the mother of 2 children of her own is about to become the mother of my DAUGHTER....and that her parenting skills need some work....what options do I have? This is a sensitive subject, so no idiocy or ignorance will be tolerated....if you don't have any education on this matter...don't bother....

  • Is it illegal for my Fiance's employer to pass her up on a promotion for having two kids and one on the way?

    She is the most qualified, and I'm not saying that because I love her....she's a customer service representative at a grocery store, she loves her job, and she is VERY good at it because of her pleasant demeanor and wonderful personality. The promotion was given to someone who isn't nearly as qualified, and it broke my Baby's heart. During her "review"..she asked why she wasn't given the position and TWO of her managers said it was because she has two small children (5 and 6 yrs. old)...and because she was 2 months pregnant. I want educated answers, not opinions. Can we sue for this? All I know is the woman I love has my child in her abdomen and is severely depressed because of a ridiculous corporate decision....Thanks

  • Where do YOU stand on Capital Punishment?

    First and foremost, I'm not seeking statistics, due to the fact that I have meticulously researched the Death Penalty, from the beheading of John the Baptist by order of King Herod for questioning the King's desire to court his brother Phillip's wife, Herodius..(because the wifey and daughter WANTED to have the king as their own)...to the recent overturning of the Supreme Court decision to allow Capital Punishment for Sex Offenders. What I'm looking for is your DEEPEST emotions....your true feelings about this facet of Justice in the United States. Any stats I quote are as accurate as possible....directly from sources such as the Uniform Crime Reports published by the F.B.I., as well as info I obtained by contacting the United States Department of Justice.....if you avoid the real question, and thrill me with your opinions of HOW I FEEL...I will rate you low, block you...and most likely reduce myself to a low level of distaste I don't care for.

    NOW FOR THE TRUTH>>>BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR FINAL DECISION.......

    1. Each year....roughly $66 million tax dollars are spent to house, feed, clothe, medicate, and supply oxygen to the roughly 3,000 inmates presently under sentence of death in U.S. Prisons. For ythe average inmate, it costs approximately $22,000 a year....(which astounds me, because prisons are designed from the ground up, from the food, to the living quarters, to be as cost efficient as possible...in some instances...perilously close to in-humane conditions including but not limited to faulty plumbing which goes un attended for years...to food your dog would turn his nose up at.

    2. Since 1976, when the moratorium on Capital Punishment was lifted, over 120 individuals have been exonerated and released from death row after new evidence proved innocence...or prosecutorial misconduct, lazy detectives, or unreliable witnesses were unearthed.

    3. At the trial level, Death Penalty cases generate roughly $200,000 in legal expenses that the offender is, of course, not going to be responsible for.....especially if convicted....much more if the individual files personal restraint petitions (a facet of Habeas Corpus Law) and appeals.

    4. 15 states, New Jersey being the most recent (2007), have abolished Capital Punishment altogether....My own native state of Michigan did so on March 1st, 1847....becoming the first English Speaking Territory to abolish Capital Punishment....as on of its first acts of Legislation as a State. On more than one occasion, a few of Michigan's largest metropolitain areas have held national records for murder rates. Hmmm...I smell a rat.

    5. As of 2006, the last publication of the Uniform Crime Reports until September 2010, there were 13,435 Non-Negligient Murders, 25,535 Forcible Rapes, and 87,252 Sex Offenses in the U.S....the Total number of Index Crimes (Murder, Rape, Robbery, Assault, Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, and Arson) was at 14,380,370. "Yay Mommy, they're gonna have to build yet another Prison on that State land me and Billy play on"..........Imagine that

    6. Some cases of National fame...such as "The Green River Killer" result in Life Sentences for guys like Gary Ridgeway (Dude killed 48 people THAT WE KNOW OF!)...while others, crimes of passion and those teetering on the edge of self defense, have ended the lives of individuals who killed for a "justifiable reason".

  • Yet another NEON question....deviating into car audio tech?

    Ok...looking into a '98 Neon to save money on gas....but I'm going to be stuffing my system (KX1200.1 Kicker amp, Solo X 12") out of my full size Ram into it....The Ram has a 120 amp alternator...the Neon has 83 amps....I've just found out I can get it beefed to 100 amps....My question is....When I upgrade to a ZX2500.1 to drive the Solo X, If I add another 2250 amp Shuriken BT-100 power cell (in addition to the one I already have) will it be enough to save the strain on the alternator? Hope so...because high outputs (200 amp) are freeking ridiculously expensive, and have to be rebuilt alot from what I hear. I want to hit at LEAST 150 db at the spl comps....I just hit 145.7 a month or so ago...but I don't feel that is a very competitive level.....

    BTW-No Kicker haters trying to make me switch to Hi-Fonics and Fi BTL setups....My little brother has a Hi Fonics Brutus and an Fi BTL 15".....and I beat him by EXACTLY one decibel...with HALF the power....and a 3" smaller sub.....He was pretty ticked.....I was thrilled...anyway....ANSWER THE QUESTION, WILL YA?

  • 1969 VW 1600? Dies when the clutch is let out?

    Ok, just picked up a gem of a dune buggy for $375. It's pretty much just a toy to beat the hell out of...so the price cannot be beat....ANYWAY....got her home (drove it 10 miles...ran fine) I checked the oil before I took off...all was well.

    I got it home, took her out in the state land behind my house....dinked around....blew the baffle off the SuperTrapp....which has since been re-installed. Today, I cranked it up....and it ran fine for about 10 minutes...then, once it warmed up...it started wanting to die when I let the clutch out....I popped the ditributor cap, and the wire that comes from inside the distro to the points was kinda old..so I scabbed in a fresh piece. No dice...same problem. Tomorrow, I'm cleaning the plugs...and checking out the fuel filter. It will only stay running while feathering the gas for a few moments...then it dies....What do you guys think? Carb rebuild? Clean points? It has fresh clean gas....and the air filter being removed makes no difference. Anybody out there good with these things? I'm kinda mechanically inclined...so don't state the obvious.....thanks...
