Monday's here
The weekend is over, and here it is, Monday again. My two days off were great, although filled with some very frustrating and trying times.
I think I told you that we found the part for the car that we thought we needed, and Moriah and I left Sat. afternoon, as I told you, to go pick up the part, and head to Landon's, where he was going to install it for me, then we were to spend the evening with them, and having supper. Well...we got the part installed, I held my breath, and we started the car. It ran exactly the same as it had been before. There was no difference, the "check engine" light still on, and my car still runnin' like crap!!!! So...needless to say, I was very ticked! I was so sure that this was what was causing the problem. So, we just threw our hands up, as to what to do, and figured that maybe Lee could figure something out on Sunday, when he had off. So, we just decided to enjoy the rest of the evening. I took Landon with me, about 6:30, to go pick up Lee. We did good to make it out to the highway, the car constantly wanting to die, and me not being able to go fast enough to keep it from doing so. We finally headed out onto the highway, headed to Columbia, talkin' about what else could possibly be wrong with the car, when I looked down and noticed that the "check engine" light wasn't on!!! I called landon's attention to it, and now we were really stumped. The car drove beautifully, all the way to columbia. As we took the exit we needed to get to Lee's work, as we slowed down coming up the ramp, to a stop light, the car dies.....and it won't start. Every time I try to start it and give it a little gas...it dies. People are piling up in back of me on the exit. The light turns green, and I can't go, then red, then green again. I was never so discusted in my life. FINALLY...it started and we headed off to Lee's work, with me praying, that people will stay out of my way, that I won't hit any stop lights, for fear that this thing is going to die again, and not want to start. I did keep it running till we got to Tucker's, where Lee was waiting to just jump in the car. We informed him of the horrible mess we'd just gone through, and continued to talk about what the problem could be. Twice, before we got out of Columbia, the car died on us, and we had to pull off the side of the road to start it again. Once we got out onto the highway, and could get up some speed. We had no problems. We had a great evening at Landon's....supper, and movies. We had chili, and it was really good! Even if I did make it myself. lol We didn't get home from Landon's till almost 1:00. Of course, we knew we didn't have to get up the next morning...a sleep in, morning. I didn't go to bed till almost 3:00...lol Of course, Lee had nodded out in the recliner, long before then. hahahaha
Sunday morning was pretty lazy. I guess I was up about 10:30, doing my usual morning coffee and computer ritual. Lee was already up and watchin' TV. It stayed pretty much that way till around 1:00 or a little after. We decided that we needed to go out and get started on the car, seeing if we can find out what in the world the deal is. Well, we think we may have found it. We have a busted hose, that fits to the MAP sensor, which causes it to get the wrong readings. So, we replaced that, hoping that would solve the problem. We couldn't be so fortunate. It appears that the MAP sensor is "dead". So, we won't be able to get one of those till Thurs. Another $65.00. Let's just hope that this solves the problem. It better. So anyway, for now, Lee just has the MAP sensor unplugged. The car is still running horribly rough, but it doesn't die on you when you try to stop, or give it gas. So, we're hoping that by Thurs. we'll have the car running.
Now, here it is, Monday morning, and I have a couple more hours before having to leave for work. It's suppose to be beautiful here today, 81. The weather's really been beautiful the past few days...upper 70's. But you know me, I'm the supper girl, so I'm kinda looking forward to that 80 mark again. And I think it's suppose to be that way for most of the week. I don't guess we're planning anything for tonight. Just coming home after work.
Well, guess I'll head outta here and get a couple of things done I need to do, before going to work. You're probably tired of hearing me talk anyway...lol Hope you all have a beautiful day, wherever you are!
Much love,
Lev
