my volvo will do the same if the battery is just the smallest bit low

it will crank forever but not start. i would check the voltage.

FIRST

Did you charge the battery

I've seen on other cars sometimes after the battery is disconnected and reconnected the ECM won't pick up the crankshaft position sensor, you can try to unplug it and plug it back in, or disconnect the battery and and reconnect it after a bit, then crank it again.

I have a BAFX Bluetooth OBD2 reader and the torque app for display. I haven't used it to read codes yet or anything but it's a highly recommended setup for the Bluetooth route.

I was looking into the Torque app, how responsive is it really? I kind of assumed it would be laggy and inaccurate.

I've had this exact one plugged into my car for a little over 2 years, zero issues, it's like $4.

>>13944290
I use it, for the live info there's about a half second delay, but it does pick up everything you have a sensor for accurately, and it'll do things like place a pippers for min / max readings.

buy seat covers, never have dirty leather again

no but it is something you are supposed to change every 2 years since its alcohol based

>>13943931
No, it absorbs water over time, and becomes less effective and rusts your lines.

>>13943931
Not exactly evaporate, but in rubber brake lines, it'll vanish in time, yes. The worse off/older the lines, the faster the shit is gone. Steel lines aren't holding forever either, keep in mind.

The stuff also gets old and thus loses its properties. Regular exchange recommended.

>>13943804
I like it.
Not really my thing though, since most all of my vehicles have been rwd, and that's pretty much my comfort zone.

You do realize that wasn't a hard launch to get an top out 0-60, right? Getting a casual 6.5 for 0-60 is very nice.

>but can it at least get me started with learning how to drive a manual?
no

>>13943459
Haha nope..you don't have the feel of the centrifugal forces, or any forces for that matter, that play a big role in driving manual

>>13943459
You could triple the price that you bought that for and get a beater manual.

>>13943385

Is this about automatics with manual modes or flappy paddle manuals or what?

Have a 07 Acura TL S type with this. It's an older one but almost never drive it in manual mode. There's a very noticeable delay between pressing the paddle or stick and the car shifting. On the other side though, it will hold the gear you put it into unless it decides you're too close to the limiter or making a stupid choice (Won't let you try to start in anything except 1 or 2, won't let you select inappropriate gears for the current speed, etc).

It was neat for a while but then it wasn't anymore and I just select D for maximum respect.

Others in other cars are likely better or worse.

I'd like to try one of the newer ones and the ones used in high performance vehicles. I bet they're pretty cool.

On supercars or sports cars and the like it's better than manual, though not as fun.

Daily drive, I prefer it. I like to be able to have a bit of fun while not being enslaved to a clutch, especially in heavy traffic.

with few exceptions the best volvo are manual transmission and turbo
thier autos are meh thier.
so if you want one find one thats been well maintained (has new struts etc) and preferably isnt the auto

>>13943312
what's wrong with the auto trans? besides just the driving control, are they prone to mechanical issues?

are there any electrical issues to worry about? is the 5 cyl an interference engine? does it use a timing belt or chain? PCV issues? anything in particular that would cause it to not be considered?
