Gotta say, as a car person coming from a lot of other forums, it's kind of stupid you guys don't have an organized FAQ.  I mean....for comparison, here's my UrS6 Faq:

You guys need something like this, it makes finding information WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY easier.

 

2 days here and calling us "stupid" lol.

 

There's plenty of articles and info. Search every time you have an issue or question without hesitation.

 

It's more empowering to SEARCH and accomplish something by yourself. Were ANALOG here...not DIGITAL. No babysitting

I didn't see it earlier. Clean all your ground attachment points. This will help resolve a host of issues for little cost and short time.

I think he meant Ray? 

[ADDvanced]

I'm not calling anyone stupid.

 

I'm saying IT is stupid, that a website that has FAQ in the name does not actually have a FAQ.  Pretty much ever car forum has one, even shitty cars like dodge neons:  https://faq.neons.org/faq/index.html

 

All the articles and threads are organized into one main list so somemone can get up to speed, fast.

You are flogging a dead horse my friend.  This website has evolved from doing that 17 years ago - the other sites are yet to catch up with this one in terms of quality and utility.  This site is the best source of information available of the web about these cars bar none and it is all provided for the princely sum of... nothing (bar some advertising - you can choose to support if you like and get rid of those as well).  

 

Many people seem to have a problem with searching this site but a bit of practice with the search function or the use of Google site search typically overcomes that.  This gives you access to many years of deliberations and info from some of the smartest minds associated with these cars - this is an invaluable reference tool.

 

Still, as has been pointed out you are welcome to start a thread based on whatever you want if you think we are missing something. Nobody likes it when a guest to your home immediately starts criticising your carpets and curtains but people who roll up their sleeves and contribute are always welcome!

YES it's not a perfect website but it's the BEST as far as 2002's go

 

You might have to push a few more buttons but you'll find very

comprehensive answers to every question.

 

Anyway I was half kidding when I posted that....but

 

Now write "2002 FAQ is not stupid" on the blackboard 100 times

and bring everyone an apple tomorrow

Top of this page, left side is a tab called Articles. Click on that and then Technical Articles. That's pretty much the FAQ. If it's not there, google search your item, or ask here.

 

Yes, you actually have to do some homework but it's the most helpful and friendly forum I've experienced. This is a great bunch of people who love their 02's. You're welcome to become one of us, or not. Up to you.

One thing I'd like to see is a tab for all NEW posts. Especially including all the ads!

 

Most if not all online forums have this tab.

 

Now maybe there is one and I missed it....?

Ray makes a killer Banana Chocolate shake though....

Okay, small update, cleaned the hell out of this thing last weekend, vacuumed out tons of actual DIRT and sticks from the trunk, surprisingly no rust and spare tire well is decent, and covered all engine electricals with plastic and sprayed the engine down with engine degreaser foam, and pressure washed the engine compartment.  Was absolutely filthy, still is, but it's a lot better.   One problem:  Now the car is completely dead.  Won't crank, shows no signs of life.  Yay.  Going to search the forums for an answer...

It is cleaning up nicely!  Water and electrical don't mix so start with basic troubleshooting, battery, starter connections, etc. Search can be challenging to get exactly what you want but it's usually there. Everyone's no start issue is different it seems. Every time I go looking for what I want I get a lesson on what I didn't know. There are thousands of years of collective wisdom in there from people who have worked on these cars. Like a gift from the gods!

[iinca]

wow what a difference!

 

love the color..and the wheels.

 

and the fog lights are the same as mine too.

 

you've got my twin sans knee trim!

What's your VIN?
