    Oops?! No Catalytic Converter!

    Well guess my question is there anything I can do to make sure the job was done correctly or is it just a matter of having one in place or not? My truck misses at idle, could it have something to do with my emissions system? Judging from some of the messes I 've had to clean up after this...

    Rotted PVC gasket

    Thanks. I was able to rock it out with klines and a thin Blade. The piece left was big enough to pull out with needle nose. I wiped the rim out and put the gasket back together to make sure it was all there. We be good to go. this valve is metal but the one on my wrangler is a plastic 90..

    Poor Mileage or it is just my imagination?

    My gage only works at full then drops down out when it hits 3/4 tank. it's so exciting driving down those VA back roads. Luckly my gas light does work. My 22re gets about 21mpg even in the city. It doesn't fair so well over 70, oddly enough it runs best at about 75. Thats her sweet spot, but I...

    Rotted PVC gasket

    Changing my PVC Valve and Gasket Easy enough. But the gasket is broken off at the rim. I'm hoping to get it out in one piece. The PCv valve is still in place with the gasket baked into the valve clover. I stared out using my klines and a thin blade. It got dark, I gave up for the night. Any tips?
