Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    well the moisture problem still exists! After it rained a couple of days ago, Brandi took it to her moms house and while going up a hill, it started sputtering again. Don't know if water is somehow getting in the gas tank, but I'm going to try to run some tests to find out.

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

          Trace back the wiring harnesses for the ignition. Make sure you don't have water gathering in a body seam or something where the harness sits.

            There could still be a coil going bad.

              k well I had a mechanic friend look at it and he determined it was the MAF. So, I guess we'll try it n find out, my debate is whether or not to get a used one. Oreilly has a remanufactured one for about $250 w/o core and Autocity (used parts) has a used one for $50. As long as the sensor is clean I would think it would be fine, especially when I could go through about 5 of them to equal the price of the remanufactured. Thanks for everyone's help.

                MAFs are picky about being dropped and such. They are pretty fragile. If you can test one for $50, it's worth it.
