i'm in misery... we were doing cadwelding today(its how we bond grounds together) and basically you set a charge, light with an igniter and it melts the charge into a mold which forms around your ground wire... well you have to clean the mold occasionally and I was showing one of the new guys how to do it and when he couldn't get a piece of debris out... he tries to blow it out, which was as gay as it sounds, lol... but anyway, all that happened was I got a ****-ton of gun power and copper debris in my eyes(even wearing safety glasses, pretty sure I scratched my cornea because I can barely keep my eye open, I flushed my eyes and got it all out, but the damage had been done

I thought I was getting laid off tomorrow and was HOPING I would... they just put in a 40 man call at the Ferry and I was wanting to get on that ****, about 2 years up there, i'd have made some cash... but I made it through probably to at least the end of January or so where i'm at... which sucks, I was ready to get away from it

can't wait until I top out where I can make them decisions myself, because this morning when that call went in, i'd have dragged up and went and made me about $35/hr

what is really sucks is they laid one of the 1st year guys off, who can't go to the Ferry, you have to be a 3rd year... It was going to work out perfect for me... but nope, they ruined that, lol... one of the bad things about doing a good job for a contractor, sometimes it can really bite you in the ass, lol

You wouldn't think that if you impaired your vision permanently and didn't have documentation that it happened on the job.

They would basically tell you your SOL.

Should be like $217/shipped if you use USPS priority mail.

All you have to do is go to their site, select the one you want and put in the discount code listed in the thread

MAP sensor, you sure you installed the 3 bar wiring correct?

I guess its possible you might have bought a bad 3 bar also.

Well according to the code it almost sounds like a short in the wiring or bad connection?

No idea on which one, I would check both.

I do know the one on the lower IC pipe has problems with the wiring rubbing the ac compressor.
