Make sure the switch isnt installed upside down....

Seriously , you are an ass, quote me correctly , I said no disrespect in my post to Jose' because I respect him..... Thanks for the spell check.....And I never insulted Mooneys.....If I didnt like them , I would'nt own one ......And stop talking about my tail......

I put the Lasars on my E , They work great , and they look even better....If you have the big ugly tail skid , get the Lasar tail skid ...... all three combined are under 100 dollars

You see , why would I waste my time running your N number , It doesnt matter who you are , because you are an idiot.......And my V tail piece of Garbage is still 30 knots faster than your airplane.....Im laughing right now.....At you not with you....

Hey Idiot , run the n numbers .... And I did give specifics...... Its 5839S and my Mooney is 5686Q.... Now go away.....http://report.myairplane.com/index.php

Being an auto tech , I have about 50K worth of snap ons.....Nothing fits your hands better .....Flank drive rules...... The bad side is its like my Sandel.....Once you use it , you cant live without it......I hate Snap on!!!!

Carefully drilling out the rivet is the way to go , Rebucking a rivet is iffy at best , The rivets are "work hardened " when originally bucked , They will spread better and take the shape of the hole when new , when previously bucked they are a lot harder , and more difficult to work.....No disrespect to Hose' intended...

Hard landings and age are the reasons that make the most sense.....The polysulfide gets hard and brittle with age , hard landings will cause rivets to loosen up over time......

As far as the EGR and knocksensors , The computer will throw an egr flow code for a blocked port , If it doesnt have the temp sensor on the valve , the only way the computer can sense low flow is when it senses the knock , it actuates the egr valve , if the engine still knocks it throws a egr flow code......You sound like an amateur tech , I have been doing this for 33 years , You sound like the type of guy that will throw an o2 sensor in for a lean code ....instead of figuring out why it is throwing the code , Like an intake leak or an air mass sensor.....But what do I know.....

I just disassemble them and blow them out with compressed air... Just be careful and take a good look at the water pump , as they can leak coolant from the seal on the shaft that drives them that runs through the distributer on that engine (if I remember correctly) .....

http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h61.pdf actually the only times the egr is shut off are wot (wide open throttle) and Idle......Secondly I have changed many egr valves for knock sensor codes.....When an egr valve fails , the engine detonates and gives a Knock sensor code , the repair is usually a vacuum line or VSV valve ..... Not all manufacturers use egr temp sensors , Most dont ....Most have a sensor that senses the mechanical travel of the valve itself....This is usually ineffective as many cars egr systems get clogged with soot , and the valve still travels mechanically , this failure is picked up by .....you guessed it detonation , and a knock sensor code..... And guess what , when the car senses detonation , it retards the engine timing to stop the knock......

Correction , EGR has no effect whatsoever on compression ratio......Egr is relative with power , Not active at Idle , higher volume of EGR at Higher power settings...It is used to control NOX emissions......Modern engines do not lose power from EGR as they advance the timing and change mixture to compensate for the diluted intake charge.......Quite the contrary , Modern engines get more power as a result of EGR because it reduces detonation allowing greater timing advance..... Modern engines self diagnose a bad EGR by a knock sensor....If the engine detonates at lower than normal parameters , the detonation (knock) sensor , tells the engine to set the check engine light with a EGR code..... Many newer cars dont have egr valves anymore as the newer catalysts are efficient enough combined with advanced engine management to reduce NOX.....

Where are you from , I have a 2004 Cadillac Deville 52K miles I would trade for it...

What are you looking to trade into......What do you need , Thanks Alan...

Fuel injection cleaner on cars doesnt really clean the injectors , as much as clean the backs of the intake valves...... That being said the injectors on cars are much more sophisticated than an aircraft , An aircraft injector is just a metering jet and should never get obstructed......

Aero In Stock , Has a hose shop , they are quick and inexpensive , and fast.....

Buy the wing tie downs from lasar , They have the jacking points built in , and they look a lot better , also if you get stuck somewhere(flat tire) you wont need the jacking points.....

Its a legacy unit in a lot of heavy iron , I have a buyer for them ......
