A line or two of text only. Many isp's charge by the byte or by the minute. Not everyone has RoadRunner. 2) Do not ask that we email you with the info. Others may have the same problem and find the info useful. If you post here, then read here. 3) Research first. Use GOOGLE. You will find hundreds or thousands of links to your exact problem. > > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam.

Use GOOGLE. > You will find hundreds or thousands of links to your exact problem. WebTv, AOL, and Talkaboutautos users and thier ilk don't care. "Gimme gimme gimme" seems to be thier motto. Can't be bothered to do a simple Google search on NGs or look anything up themselves, and want the answer shipped directly to thier door. Don't want to get involved and maybe learn something from a newsgroup, or even come back and share what fix worked, just want a quick fix and screw you. Recently I reloaded my comp and started seeing all the posts I had previously blocked. I think I'll go back to dogging the twits. Heck, everyone needs a hobby. <grins> >> > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam. The code is showing by-pass switch. but >> > where is it?...thank you. [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > previously blocked. I think I'll go back to dogging the twits. Heck, > everyone needs a hobby. <grins> Yes. And your hobby seems to be annoying people on a constant basis on this newsgroup. Grow up and get a life. All you do is 'report spam', like that does anything, and bitch at people instead of helping them. Some people do not mind repeating an answer a few times. If you mind, then shut up and don't answer the post. I myself have answered a few posts with answers *I* have seen that had been repeated here. You see, information keeps being passed around. That is how we all help each other. Not by being rude. You are also turning people away from this group who could become great sources of information some day. Look what would have happened if you had of bitched out someone like 'Shep' or 'Steve Mackie', just to name a couple. We would have lost two very good people who like to help. > >> > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam.

I try and show how answers can be found. Since you mention it, take a close look at who I dog out. Is it people with real problems who give honest info wanting help after trying to help themselves? No, it's asshats who are either making up BS to see if they get a response, dumbasses who can't be bothered to even mention what kind of car thier inarticulate babbling is about, or spammers. Get over yourself. >> >> > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam. The code is showing by-pass switch. > but [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > Don't like it, don't read my posts.

You see, some people filter out such things. > I "bitch out" morons. I try and show how answers can be > found. Telling someone to go to there library and search through schematics books when there are people here who know the answer right off and are more then happy to answer does not help anyone. > Since you mention it, take a close look at who I dog out.

Nope, you basically bitch out anyone who is either on WebTV or on Talkabout Autos. Either way, I can't see how doing that helps you. The last person for example, just wanted to know if the CD player in a G6 is MP3 compatible. Just because you do not know, does not mean no one here does. > >> >> > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam.

Gee, looking it up on the Pontiac website, logging into the local libraries auto repair database, or doing a Google search before asking is too much? After years I am tired of lazy incoherent losers who can't be bothered to even try helping themselves, learning anything, or even sharing a fix if they finally find one. I wonder. You claim I have nothing better to do. What is your deal bud? Why don't you just block my posts? BTW, ignoring spammers doesn't make them go away. Making them lose email accounts, hosting, and posting privileges does. Making a point of it discourages would-be spammers. I will say what I feel like saying and call a spade a spade. You want a nice PC world? Tough. This is Usenet, one of the last bastions of free speech. I have the right to say what I want. You have the right to agree, disagree, or plonk me. I have enjoyed your posts in the past and am sorry you don't like my attitude. But my atiitude is what it is and will remain the same. I have no use for cats who want spoonfeeding instead of learning. Just for the hell of it; In the immortal words of Dr. Johnny Fever, "BOOGER!". >> >> >> > I have a 1989 pontiac grandam.

I took a look on Pontiac's website, and could not find a mention of whether it was MP3 compatible or not. As for other post's, if everyone found what they wanted in a library, then this group would not need to be here. Haven't you ever needed an answer at 2am? I sure have, and have gotten it here. > After years I am tired of lazy incoherent losers who can't be bothered to > even try helping themselves, learning anything, or even sharing a fix if > they finally find one. I can give you a point there. I too think it is damned rude to come here with a problem, get some suggestions, and never show up again to tell everyone what fixed it. That defeats the purpose of the group, but you have to admit, not everyone is like that. > I wonder. You claim I have nothing better to do. What is your deal bud? > Why don't you just block my posts? I have never blocked anyone in my entire time on Usenet, and I do not plan on starting now. See, I don't think you are a bad person, I just think you are getting too pissed off by the newbies on this group. All I am suggesting is let it go. Just respond to the ones you consider deserve a reply, and let the others sit there. If someone wants to chirp in and answer, so be it. If not, then no biggie. Its just when you insult people, it does not help anyone. > BTW, ignoring spammers doesn't make them > go away. Making them lose email accounts, hosting, and posting privileges > does. Making a point of it discourages would-be spammers. You have to admit though, a hardcore spammer does not care if they loose there account. They will always find others. And, like I said before, some newsreaders filter out the stuff already, so some people come on here and all they see is your message saying you have reported them. > I will say what I > feel like saying and call a spade a spade. You want a nice PC world? > Tough. This is Usenet, one of the last bastions of free speech. I have > the > right to say what I want. Yes, that is true you do. All I am saying is take it easy. Don't judge people just because they are on WebTV, or Talkabout Autos or what ever. Don't judge someone who cant type English as well as you or I can. If you don't like what they have wrote, just ignore it, and like I said, either someone else will pipe in and give them an answer, or they won't get one. Either way, I think it would be better for you if you just let them go. I honestly mean that in a nice way too. > You have the right to agree, disagree, or plonk > me. I have enjoyed your posts in the past and am sorry you don't like my > attitude. But my atiitude is what it is and will remain the same. I have > no use for cats who want spoonfeeding instead of learning. That is your opinion and you have a right to it. I just think our definition of 'spoonfeeding' differs. > Just for the hell of it; > In the immortal words of Dr. Johnny Fever, "BOOGER!". I can honestly say I have never heard of him lol Feel free to let me in. I did not even think about the sig..sorry. I did do a google search first....code 42 was very confusing. I was hoping someone coulld help me. But, by most of my replies this is a group to let off steam...so much anger.... Have a wonderful Thanksgiving >I did not even think about the sig..sorry. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > anger.... > Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Naw. That's just me and FBR going at it again. Don't let it bother you. As for your problem, what engine do you have? Always give the engine in your car in the post as it makes things easier. Many models have several different engines as options. As for a Code 42, I may not be on the right ball here, but this is what I can find on it: - Electronic spark timing (EST) circuit - Open or Shorted. - Direct ignition system (DIS) fault - Bypass circuit Open or Shorted to ground during engine run. - Fuel cutoff relay circuit - Open or Shorted to Ground. Like I said, give us the engine details as well as the symptoms of what the car is doing and people will be able to help a lot better. Sometimes a code, is just a code. :) |
