Working on my friends 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0L v6, I need some second opinions.

Poor gas mileage, and recently Multiple codes thrown. The truck runs fine for the most part, but the idle is a tad rough, and idles between 700-900rpms.

(combustion too lean bank 1, bank 2, random misfire, misfire cylinder 1, misfire cylinder 5, misfire detected on start up)

First, I replaced the spark plugs, the wires. Tested the coils. All are working properly.
I installed a new MAF, didn't fix the issue. New fuel filter, didn't fix the issue. Compression tested cylinder 1 and 5 to rule out valve issue, both came out okay (~180psi)

Vacuum leak test with brake clean, nothing.

Listened to the pulsing of injectors 1-2-3, all sounded okay (other 3 covered by intake manifold) I also checked these 3 injectors for resistance, all were 13.0 and within spec.

Tested the fuel pressure yesterday, but did it incorrectly. Going to do this tomorrow to ensure the fuel pump is working properly.
So, If I confirm tomorrow the fuel pressure is where it needs to be, I'm stuck. The only thing I can think of, is something going on with the injectors, if indeed the fuel pump is working properly. The truck has 210,000 miles on it, and seems to be rebuilt.

I'm planning to replace all 6 injectors with brand new ford injectors, since cleaning and testing the ones I have now, is about the same price as new injectors.

Someone mentioned 02 sensors, but unsure if this would cause the symtom. Any way to test these sensors? I know of people who clean them with success.

Any advice, info, would be greatly appreciated.

Hey /o/.

Looking to purchase one of these two in the next coming up year and I want your 'opinions' on these two vehicles.

I live in Colorado so the Subaru AWD tax is pretty insane (can't find a new WRX for less than $28,000 before tax and fees). Whereas I can find a GTI for around $22,000-$24,000 here.

I understand the GTI has less power and is FF and the WRX has AWD and more power, but I've heard I can squeeze out 310chp out of the GTI with just a tune. I'm not looking for an end all be all vehicle here, but simply one that will be a fun and practical DD.

So has anyone here owned either one of these vehicles? Hated something about either one of them? Been absolutely fucked by their reliability? I just was a general consensus between these two vehicles of which is better, I'll test drive both of them before buying them. But having another general opinion on the two that aren't being paid to shill the brands would be great.

After driving beaters all my life, I finally have a good job that would allow me to purchase a nice car.
Some info about me:
age: 25
salary: 90K
Location: Canada

looking at the M2 as my number 1.
Others I'm considering are the Mustang GT or the subie STI.

Would the M2 be a good choice? The higher price tag of the M2 is the only reason I'm even considering the other two.

How can I make my car sound "cool"

I bought a 2016 sonata hybrid (pic related) and it is QUIET as fuck. You cannot hear the engine at all and I'm paranoid about a biker or pedestrian hitting me by not hearing me coming.

By "cool" I don't mean those annoying ricer cars farting machine 1990 civics. Just something that makes it sound nice to the ear.

I saw turbo whistles on amazon you put in the exhaust but sounded too gay for me.

How good are the 944 series from Porsche during the 80s?

I've found a guy who wants to sell me his 1986 944. It's in excellent condition for it's age and from what it felt like when I drove it, handles and sounds amazing.

I've just never really gotten into Porsche's before so I dont know what to expect. It's got the manual 2.5l inline four in it.

The AC compressor on my 2005 Odyssey is kill. The dealer wants 1100 for parts and labor. Is that a reasonable mark-up, or a brutal assfucking?

Tell me /o/, whose worse?

People that don't care about traffic laws (Example: not yielding to cars ALREADY in a traffic circle )?

OR

People inventing their own laws (Example: people stopping in the middle of a traffic circle to let some one enter)?

Hey br/o/s, I need some advice. My insurance company just notified me that, since I am under 25, they will stop insuring my motorcycle until I buy a car.

As a result I've found myself in a shitty situation, but I have $4100 to blow on a car. I found a Chevy Cobalt SS for $3000 at a dealership, and I absolutely love the car in every way. Looks, sound, feel, etc. The catch? I test drove it, and it has issues idling (revs up/down constantly, stalls itself), and the check engine light is on. I ran a diagnostics and it threw 8 codes, all of which point to the issue being either the O2 sensor or the supercharger. If it's the supercharger I can't afford to fix the car unless he drops the price (would likely fix myself), but if it's an O2 sensor issue that's am affordable fix.

What do you guys think? They already agreed, but would it be worth the $80+ fee to have a mechanic look at it or should I find another car? I absolutely love it but it's a hard decision...

5th gen Celica vs 5th gen Civic. Which shitbox is more fun, reliable as a dd? Civic seems more fun because of the huge aftermarket, vtec and stuff, but Celica is more unique. Whats your opinion, anons?
