The posts that bother me the most are those that are difficult to read because of spelling errors, poor grammar, use of all caps or no caps, and lack of punctuation. I am not an English major, and frequently make errors myself. I think though, that it is rude to post without first seeing that most words are spelled correctly and the post is readable.

All posters must remember that the S2K community is diverse, and some of the individuals you expect responses from are not your peers. They may be older or younger, more or less educated, and certainly come from different socio-economicand cultural backgrounds.

The bottom line is that there is a standard for communicating in forums that certainly does not need to be 100% correct English, but people that post trash that is ill thought out and full of misspelled words don't deserve a reply.

 

Well the "oil checkin thing" aka dipstick is on the valvecover which is ontop of the engine. it has a little picture of oil on it too.


geez, this is hilarious. i know i was a noobie once but when somebody owns an S2000 they should at least know where the oil checkin thingymajiggin is?


gawd, im still noobie in many respects, ill admit dat. gawd again, cuz the s2000 is such a beautiful piece of machinery inside out. i can't believe how peeps abuse these babies. i seem to forget how many spoiled kids exist on our planet Earth.

 

[QUOTE=xviper,Nov 12 2004, 12:09 PM] You're kidding, right?

 

sorry for not addin in the details such as i checked it at night time in the mall parkin lot where the light was barely even on my car. i shoudl have said that part so the ones that are pokin at me wiht that one statement could have KNOWN why taht did happen. and like in the thread currently up wiht arts old videos, if you dont have ANYTHING good or helpful to say,feel free to just click on the "back" button and move on to another one. oh yea, i believe i mentioned i DID check the oil or WOULD check in the day time tom. meanin today, and i DID actually get the chance to LAST night in my friends garage with a nice light. now i hope those of you are satisfied to WHY i couldn't find the dipstick. well technically, it wasn't that hard to understand what i was trying to say cuz the point was, the CAR seems to not pick up especially in VTEC, is that so hard to understand or pick up? yea i did have mistakes but check the times i posted it, it was the only chacne i had cuz i had to go out within 5 min so i posted it up relaly quick. right now is the first time i had a chacne to come back home and check this but i have to leave again, i am sorry i have been kinda busy this past day so the least of my worries was the PUNCTUATION and what not and the main worry was gettin a question posted and hopefully help would have been given within the next time i checked this website. obviously not cuz those of you who NEED a self-esteem build up just blew me off with things that didn't relate to the topic and you know what, you coudl say i am a in moron who can't write but STILL respond with help in the netx sentence. so i believe those who had nuttin better to say was due ot the lack of knowledge or didn't actually know what the problem might have been and just blew me off. THANKS to those who WERE HELPFUL and acted MATURE! and viper, you are MORE THAN WELCOMED to leave this post. also to those who dont know hwo to help others such as mr. bandwagon itryan.

 

The reason no one responds is because they can't understand what the you are asking !!!!

If you would have the courtesy to post in understandable English I'm sure you would get plenty of responses.

As it is, you are waisting everyone's time, and not getting the help you want.

 

Correct, but I believe you need to change it to this...

And then read it to yourself....twice.


OK, good. Now lets start over. The ONLY problem you have noticed is that the pull during VTEC isn't as pronounced as it used to be, right? Answer that.

Also, answer these:

Are there any mods on the car?

Was any maintenence done to the car before you felt this lack of power? If so, what, exactly.

Is the check engine light (CEL) lit up in the dash?

Anything else that you can add might be able to help us, anything that you noticed out of the ordinary.

The period key is between the comma and forward slash keys...use it more often. Type how you write, not how you talk.

 

no, you are WRONG, i am NOT wastin anyones time, they are CHOOSING TO respond adn what not, i didn't put a gun to their heads and said RESPOND BITCH, and obviously you dont read well either, did i not say in that huge paragraph i had no more than a few minutes to post somethin up cuz i had to leave and i was worried about gettin the question up and not the grammar due to the lack of time i had. obviously you shouldn't be talking at all cuz i explained myself in the last post even tho i SHOULDN"T cuz there was NO NEED for it nor should I have but i did anyways.

 

see when ppl like you talk like that it is SO MUCH MORE helpful than the way others did. i appreciate it and i took no offense to anythin that may have been a negative feedback due to the way you approached it and did it very nicely. thank you. to answer the questions, no i have no mods on teh car completely stock and it literally happened out of the BLUE. i dono why. and the power today was noticed to be lacking even around 3k's rpm. especially in second gear when i am going around 30 or so mph, i would step on the gas and it would pick up very nicely, now it barely moves till higher rpms. no check engine light on or anything either.

 

If you would have the courtesy to post in understandable English I'm sure you would get plenty of responses.

 

Okay, it sounded like you checked your oil, where was the level indicator at? When/what mileage was the last time you changed your oil/filter?
