thats why i use film not 010101010110011110001 lol. my camera is 1 year old got it with a huge lens for 300$. takes just as good pics as a 3k$ camera with a memory card. oooooo i have to send my negs out to get printed. but i can do more with my film cam then you can do with a top of the line dig.i like how when i click the button it takes the photo and doesnt wait a sec and i miss what i was trying to shoot. i love doing 10 fames a second with it. i had a dig cam you could do ten frames with but it would only do it on the lowest quality pics.

sorry i love film camera's. i think my best camera is the one i paid 40$ its all plastic including the lens.

you realize with this camera i can take a hella more than 10 frames a second with it right? this isnt some piece of **** digital camera that you get from walmart... this is a professonal grade camera. and dont get me wrong, i LOVE 35mm manual camera's. i have an old Miranda i use for photography. but Digital allows me direct input to the images and i can edit them as i want on the computer... not to mention film is a comsumable id rather not pay for...

and no matter how you look at it ben, your camera isnt as good as a 3k digital camera xD hell my pro grade cam isnt that good xD

gen the cam i got a few years ago was in the 5k rang, i got it cheap used dirt cheap. since 8meg cams hit the market, film type prices went down hill and used is like sad how cheap they are.

my cam can take just as good pics as any new dig. the reason i said the 10 frame a second thing is about skate boarding shots. you wouldn't want more then that,to get a layout of some one doing a gap ect. but iam able to. if i wanted more then id just used my hd video camera and save each frame as a pic on my mac. if you look at what gear pro's use its split. art type photos = film very few use dig. most artist think dig is a sin,sports photo's,half are film. any thing else you would be better off with a dig. like mag covers ect ect. it really depends on what you want to do.

so me a dig you can take 10 frames a sec a full rez. or leave the shutter open as long as you want. i like leaving the shutter open for a long time at night, you can see the streaks of light from the stars moving. i love dig cameras so dont get me wrong. iam just saying id rather buy a used camera, 4 lenses for under 1k. that sold just 2 years ago for over 5k. for what i got and saved i dont mind paying for print's or making my own. and if i want i can scan them in and edit them in photo shop.

my old one can take them like that, its a POS camera now but it can take 70 frames full res. its still a piece of crap.

and they're called star trails, pretty popular thing to do up in vermont and places where the light is low for good visability, i plan on taking a couple trips up there with a 100 - 400l IS lens, to do things like that.

Meh, id rather pay for a pro grade camera and have the ability to edit my photos right in photoshop and ****, saves me time and money. And i like to develop my own photos, but since idont have a darkroom or the time needed for thatttt... ill take my digi any day xD

ok so lets start with this... did it just up and decide to do all this with no prior warning? have you checked to see if coolant is low? when you did the rats nest, did you use paper towels to block the intake runners?

its sounding like a major fuel issue. Because you cant hit the gas without stalling the car it sounds like your richening the fuel mix out so much that the car cant actually run on it.

yeah check to see if the coolant is low. and did you make sure that you pulled all the rags out? may seem like common sense, but i've got experience with this, sounds kinda similar.

exactly, and rag in an intake runner could cause it to clog. and make all the CEL's come on. it could have been stuck on a sensor or something, IAT for example and then after your pulls it got sucked down to the bottom of the port.

It idles fine but you have to hit the gas to start it and it dies as soon as it hits 2000rpm (when vac starts to decrease). My guess is either a bad sensor, bad computer, or bad wiring from one of the sensors to the computer. I'm forced to have to check continuity to the ECU from every part.

well, its a good place to start, make sure the sensors are all reporting correctly, then dive into the wiring.

well if you are absolutely positve that you don't have rags in the intake path. take the mani off and check the ecu ground. and make sure that the negative battery cable is on tight.
