I'm going to buy an impact gun, is this a good one?
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=yes&tool=power&item_ID=76491&group_ID=2798&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog
Snap On makes some of the better tools available. I use them in my shop. The torque range for this air wrench is on the low side for professionals but should work nicely for the do-it-yourselfer. The Blue Point brand is the lower end of the Snap On lines. The quality on all their tools is great!
I think you'll be happy with it!

Size Matters – Small or Large Louvres or Slats?
Whether you are choosing interior shutters or wood slat blinds, it’s important to consider what you want carefully before deciding on the size of the louvre blades or wood slats. With a range of sizes now available it can change both the appearance and function of your shutter or blind and your home.
There are several things that the louvre or slat size will influence, but arguably the most important is the level of light entering a room, however it will also influence privacy, the view from the window and the style of your room. It’s also important to consider the depth of your window recess, how far handles protrude into the recess and therefore what available space is left for your chosen shutter blades or slats, and last but certainly not least the actual size of the window itself.
Light
The simple rule is the larger the louvres on your interior shutters or slat on your wood slat blinds the greater the amount of light entering the room. The colour of the blade will also influence how much light is reflected so its also worth considering lighter colours if you are going for small louvres or wood slats. However, for many it’s a compromise between wanting light and therefore a larger blade, and balancing the size of the window, recess depth and the size of the window itself.
Privacy
Of course many people have a window covering because they need privacy. Shutters and blinds are a great way of achieving this without obstructing light. With the added benefit of being able to angle light away from precious furniture to prevent it fading. Angling slats or louvres easily prevents unwanted prying eyes from seeing into your property. While louvre or slat size doesn’t necessarily influence how much privacy you gain, as regardless of size they can be tilted to ensure people can’t see in, the view in is more obscured with smaller blades when left open though.
Balance
If you have a small window then small blades or slats will look better, and if you have a large window large will be better suited. Small blades on large windows look cluttered and obstruct too much light and the view. However, on small windows a large blade will look out of kilter as there are too few in a small space.
For many the compromise between window balance and light means that they select a medium blade or slat size, so 64mm for an interior shutter and the 50mm or 64mm for a wood slat blind. For most average windows this looks best.
However, if you are lucky enough to have a wide expanse of glass such as a wide opening, doorway, or even a floor to ceiling wall of glass at one end of a room then you may want to consider large or extra large louvres. Shutters are available in 89mm and 114mm for those who have extremely large openings. Wood slat blinds may not be suitable for this type of opening and if your preference is for a blind it will need to be a vertical.
For those who want a combination of both shutters and blinds, it is now possible to purchase a Shuttermatch wood slat blind that is available in 64mm slats to match the medium louvre blade on a shutter. This gives a more consistent appearance from the outside of a property.
Recess depth
If you have a very shallow recess this may limit your choice, especially if you have handles that also protrude into the space. You could consider putting your shutter or blind on the outside of the recess as this may work better for you, or opting for a smaller louvre or slat combined with fitting as far forward as possible to prevent the handles interfering with the movement of the louvres or slats.
Style
If you want to create the feeling of a cosy cottage then small louvres or slats are more likely to do this, while large blades will create a studio feel especially on large windows. Another option is solid interior shutters, which were popular with the Victorians and suit period homes, and then size is less of an issue. Large blades with wooden flooring can also create a very modern look.

Suggestions as to what color curtain to hang in a large open room with hardwood floors and sage green walls?
I am thinking an olive green.
The adjacent dining room/kitchen is hardwood with beige walls.
Your color and fabric selection will really depend on your decor and lifestyle.
some options I'm visualizing are:
1. the olive green that you mentioned will create a serene room, tone on tone tends to do that.
2. a print in red/cream/brown/......some sort of plaid.
3. (my favorite) metallics. Think brass, not Gold. This will add tons of class and reflection to the room. If you pick a soft texture, like a sheer, linen or chintz, the room will remain soft but exciting.

Many open cargo service providers have been offering a chain of services that include maritime facilities and license to the business communities. It is also being considered as the wisest way open for all businesspersons.
Ocean cargo shipping is a very viable option depending on the place of where it is heading for. Many businesses prefer shipping for cargo transportation needs. You can avail the services of open cargo that promise the service of taxi to pick you from one place and deliver to another location. The protection of insurance is another area that international traders look for. There are a number of companies facilitating in-house ocean cargo policy to the customers. The protection of carrier includes all goods of the trader but not the shipper. It is very significant for the international maritime service providers.
The open cargo company's policy is an economical option that covers several types of trade items. Sometimes, it can save up to 50% of what you are currently paying. The companies can gain high reputation within short span of time. You can also contact the online classified ads offered by the open cargo service providers to deal with entire services including household shifting, logistic services and freight forwarding. They include all domestic and international services such as custom clearance, visa clearance with full documentation, insurance on moving etc.

The LCD screen for my Sony HandyCam doesn't work if it's all the way open?
The LCD screen on my Sony Handycam DCR-HC21, which is almost 3 years old and has taken quite a bit of abuse, recently has been having problems. It turns all white when I open it, but will work if I open it all the way and flip it around, and then push it face-out against the camera. This happened suddenly. The sound works the whole time, and the viewfinder is perfect. Any suggestions?
Probably the ribbon cable which carries the video signal from the camcorder body to the LCD screen is coming loose or has a short or bad soldier joint. This would be very difficult to fix yourself unless you are good with a soldering iron.
If you can't continue using the camcorder in that condition, replacement is pretty much your only option. You could just use the viewfinder though, that's what everyone did back before LCDs were common.

Why rearch is vital when having a hair transplant procedure
My story begins with an account of my very poor hair transplant procedures i had with a very famous UK hair clinic.
When i was 22 young and naive i had my first hair transplant at my local ht clinic in West Yorkshire.
In around the year 1997 i came across an advert in a mens magazine for this clinic, and decided after reading this that the place sounded fantastic. It claimed to be state of the art with experienced surgeons from all around the world, they claimed to be leaders in the field of hair restoration and said that they left other clinics behind. Wow i thought ill have to have a consultation because at this point in time i was struggling to cope with my hair loss, i was only 22 and felt like my whole world was coming to an end and that no one could possibly love me with a bald head. So i telephoned them and arranged a consultation.for the following week.
I arrived for my consultation and was shocked to find that this place was not a state of the art clinic but just three rooms at the rear of an NHS doctors surgery. I was shown into a small room and was told to sit down, a gentlemen told me to remove my hat and looked at my hair( which to be honest was thinning a little but looking back it wasn't actually that bad at this stage). It was obvious i was loosing my hair but i still had plenty left, the man said he could help me and said that i was a perfect candidate for a hair transplant he also said that i would soon have a perfect head of hair again.
I was delighted i asked how much this procedure would cost. He replied that because i would need around 1500 grafts throughout my hair to thicken it back up it would be three thousand five hundred pounds. He then said in a rather pushy tone we are very busy so do you want it or what?. I was a bit taken aback by this but the thoughts of a perfect head of hair were ringing in my ear so i agreed. He then said he would need a deposit of one thousand five hundred by the end of the week and said he would book me in for the surgery the following week and i had to pay the balance then.
That was it there was no mention of any side effects, no mention of any risks, no mention of aftercare, no mention of the surgeons competence or qualifications, experience etc and certainly no mention of a hideous scar to the back of my head.
The whole consultation was over in about 5 minutes, and because i was only 22 young and naive i just thought this was normal and i was very excited. When the day of the surgery arrived i was asked straight away as soon as i sat down for the money, the man then counted it in front of me he looked in a terrible mood. As soon as he had finished counting though he looked up and smiled and escorted me into a small room where a young lady washed my hair, i was then told to sit on a chair in another room that looked like a dental surgery.
I was then asked to sign a consent form and was told not to worry, i was then given an injection in my finger to numb my head and was told to relax and that my head would be numb in no time. The surgeon then came in and started to remove hair from the rear of my head to be placed on the top of my head later, this took about five minutes and didn't hurt at all due to the anesthetic.
He then started inserting the grafts into the top of my head and let me tell you this was the worst pain i have ever had in my life. It started out as just an uncomfortable pain, but after an hour or so it was absolutely excruciating i told the Dr it was really painful, but he just laughed and said it wont be long and told me to think about all the hair i would have. I had no choice but to grin and bear it, it was awful and throughout the five hour operation blood just kept on running down my face and neck it was terrifying but he just kept saying don't panic its normal you`ve just got a sensitive scalp.
When the operation was over i was told i had to get up and go sit in a waiting room for a couple of minutes, to my surprise the doctor then said goodbye and went home leaving me on my own with two female assistants. They told me that my stitches would dissolve on their own in a few weeks and gave me some co codamol for the pain, at this point i didn't even know i had any stitches. They also gave me a letter with aftercare instructions on it which was about half a page long and consisted of washing instructions etc. After about 10 minutes they opened the back door and said goodbye leaving me to drive home dis- orientated and 10 minutes after a five hour operation.
Over the next few weeks i struggled with the pain but i was excited and couldn't wait for my new hair to grow. My head looked very sore and was covered in scabs with little hairs popping out. I was told before the surgery that i was paying for 1500 grafts but to be honest i think i only received about 250 and over the next six months this was confirmed as only a small number of hairs appeared on my head, and i might add they looked very unnatural a bit like dolls hair. The most concerning thing though to me was that i suffered something called shock loss which i have now found out is common but i was not forewarned or told anything about this prior to my surgery.
Shock loss is where the rest of your normal original hair becomes shocked by the new transplants that are placed next to them and fall out leaving you with only the transplanted hairs left this is usually only temporary but in my case was permanent. So in effect i had payed three thousand five hundred pounds for 1500 new hairs, received around 250 new hairs and lost hundreds of old hair. So i was much worse off after the surgery than before i even had the operation( and a lot poorer too). I was now in a situation where i could not even go outside without wearing a hat and i had no choice but to get another hair transplant to add some more hair to my head because i only had about 250 hairs on the top of my head and my confidence was shattered so i began to save up for round two.
In the year 2000 god knows why i returned to the clinic for another consultation they then said i need another 1500 grafts, but because i had been before they said it would only cost one thousand five hundred pounds. They also advised me to take finesteride and said they would give me a twelve months supply for nothing in with the price of the surgery, they told me it would stop any further hair loss and gave me enough tablets to last six months and said i had to come back for the rest when i ran out. I contacted them when i did run out and they refused to give me any.
I had my second surgery later that week which was much the same as the first except this one wasn't painful which just proves that the first operations anesthetic wasn't administered correctly.
Over the next few months though i experienced terrible headaches on a daily basis, not at all like the first transplant and these headaches didn't start to ease until around 8 months after the procedure. At the same time as the headaches i had feelings of numbness to the back of my head which took months to ease, but even to this day i still have a numb part at the rear off my head on the right which i'm told is probably nerve damage. The growth rate was much the same as the first op and now after paying for 3000 hairs at a cost of five thousand pounds i have around 500.
From the year 2000 i have suffered from bouts of mental health problems i.e depression anxiety, panic attacks which have been so serious ive been admitted to hospital, ive had bouts of agoraphobia and have been on numerous types of anti depressants which i am still taking to this day all because off the treatment and results of this clinic. I have also go two seven cm's scars to the back of my head which prevent me from shaving my head and look so ugly i have to keep them covered.
After the surgeon got struck off i took a small amount of comfort in the fact that the clinic would be closed.but after reading the hair loss forums on the net i have to my horror found that they are still around and have many dis satisfied patients they sound like they are the same as ever there are loads and loads of posts on from patients that are about how people have been disfigured, and ripped off by the Norton clinic and their surgeons and unscrupulous salesmen .
Please please if you are thinking of going to this clinic BEWARE, ask to meet former patients and ask loads of questions because if they are the same as when i went you could potentially be making the biggest mistake of your life, take heed from someone who knows from first hand experience
Before having a ht do some research and check out the many different surgeons on all the hair forums a good starting point would be www.hairtransplantexperiences forum, and please don't let travel be the deciding factor because the results good or bad will last a lifetime. Have a look at Doctors websites and have a look at all the negative comments on the Internet simply google the hair clinics name and u will find info
The next section describes an appeal that was set up on a hair loss forum called hairtransplantexperiences.com(formally PB hair) to raise money to help fix my horrible predicament the appeal was called Project Bullitnut.
I am a valued member on all forums giving advice, i always try my best to help people make an educated decision regarding transplants, my goal is to prevent people making the same mistakes as i did and to ensure that they wont regret their ht for years to come like i did with my clinic.
PB and BIGMAC bless their hearts decided to help me by starting a REPAIR BULLITNUT campaign.
They did this off their own backs (as they knew how my situation was destroying my life) with the intention of raising money and encouraging hair transplant clinics to get involved. Which fortunately for me happened very quickly as SHAPIRO MEDICAL GROUP offered almost immediately to do my repair surgery pro which i am absolutely over the moon about and unbelievably grateful. As ive already said i regard them as being world class and one of the very best there is so to get this offer is like a dream come true for me.
PB and BIGMAC set up a pay pal account for donations towards the travel expenses etc and i received lots of donations including:-
1. The hotel paying for by fellow forum member TIM UK
2. The flights for my first trip paying for by another forum member called TUBS
3. The meals on the day were also payed for by a member called NERVOUS NELLY
4. The flights for my second trip were also payed for by SPENCER KOBREN the author and radio host of the bald truth www.thebaldtruth.com/
I also received many donations from other members of all the major hair loss forums including JANNA the head technician at SMG who as helped co ordinate this entire project and has been absolutely fantastic and supportive from the beginning.
SO TO ALL THAT AS BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
HEART THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next part of my incredible story to restore my hair and life details my trip to Shapiro Medical Group in the US
Here's the story of my hair loss repair program with Shapiro medical group in Minnesota
I'm going to go into detail to help all newbies and UK patients thinking of going to America
Firstly I live in the UK in West Yorkshire so I booked my flights from Manchester as this was my nearest large airport. I booked my flights with klm airlines who are partners with north west airlines.
Who fly to America regularly from all UK airports.
The flight cost around £450 return (thanks Tubs)and was a one stop connection in Amsterdam before flying to MSP airport at Minneapolis. The flights themselves were very comfortable and even the connection stop at Amsterdam was very easy to do and straight forward. To be honest this was a major worry for me as id only ever flown to Paris, but trust me it was a piece of cake!! The flight to Amsterdam took fifty minutes then the flight to MSP took 9 and half hrs but this seemed to go pretty quick as there was a great selection of in flight entertainment with TV screens in the head rests.
When I arrived at MSP airport I was picked up by the hotel shuttle bus that JANNA the clinical operations manager at Shapiro Medical Group had very kindly arranged for me as she was aware just how nervous i was of flying and how inexperienced i was, as i'd only ever flown to France before. This was a huge weight off my mind as its terrifying being in a strange country without the added worry of finding your hotel. .
Janna had booked my hotel for me previously in the run up to the surgery as I'm hopeless with anything like that which was very helpful .The hotel she recommended and booked was the country inn and suites at Bloomington and i was very impressed with her recommendation as the hotel was great
When the bus dropped me off at the hotel I simply couldn't believe it, the place was immaculate and the staff were warm and friendly and ever so helpful (which to be honest was a shock as UK hotels are generally poor). The room came equipped with flat screen TV with loads of channels and on demand movies, it had all the essential amenities e.g. hair dryers, kettle iron etc ,and there was even free Wifi Internet access in every room which proved cool as I brought my laptop.
There was also free breakfasts which believe me I took advantage of as they were out of this world lol..
Monday morning i got the shuttle bus from the hotel to take me to SMG and I don't mind admitting I was absolutely terrified after the previous transplants id had. I must of spent most of the night in the lavatory but Janna bless her kept reassuring me as soon as i arrived at SMG which was very nice!!.
As soon as i arrived after meeting Janna i was relaxed as she was a wonderful warm caring person and knew just what to say to put me at ease straight away
She then introduced me to Dr Shapiro he greeted me with a handshake and welcomed me to his clinic, straight away all my fears disappeared because the guy was one of the most kind, warm hearted gentleman I've ever had the pleasure to meet he really took on board my hair loss concerns and was extremely passionate about helping me it was obvious right from the get go this guy was going to do his very best to improve my situation.
Firstly he checked out my donor hair, laxity and recipient site. He then took plenty off photos from all sides, he then uploaded these onto a computer screen so I could see my hair loss from all angles. After this he asked what I hated the most and what I hoped to achieve.
We discussed the options and procedure for around an hour. He was extremely thorough and answered all my questions and concerns and really took on board what I was saying. To me it was blatantly obvious the man had my very best interests at heart, there was absolutely no pressure or rushing to get me into the chair he wanted to get the plan off attack just right before we started.
He then showed me what he thought would be the best plan off attack based on his knowledge and my desires by drawing diagrams on my head and going through the whole process step by step explaining every aspect of the imminent surgery. I was more than happy to go with his suggestions as they were exactly what i was hoping for and matched my goals completely . So we agreed on the approach and I was led into the procedure room where I was introduced to everyone.
This again was a pleasure as every member off his staff greeted me warmly I felt like a VIP and I couldn't possibly have been more comfortable all the techs were very friendly and happy telling jokes and doing their up most to make me feel comfortable. All in all I have to say that Dr's Ron and Paul Shapiro must have had the friendliest work force I've eve come across my whole life.
I was then told to put on a medical gown ready for the procedure whilst doing this their consultant Matt Zupan came in and introduced himself to me and again what a nice guy he was, funny and quick witted and very likable just like the other staff members he asked if I was comfortable and laughed at my forum name Bullitnut .
I was placed in a chair rather like a dentists chair and was given my anesthetic using an extraordinary vibrating machine that was placed on my forehead to numb my scalp. This was a great feeling I never felt any pain whatsoever just the odd scratch like feeling now and again but this was normal and was nothing at all to worry about. I can honestly say hand on heart that the anesthetic was no where near as bad as that administered at a dentist, and i'm a wimp so if it hurt id be the first to complain lol.
I was then placed face down on the chair with my chin on a head rest so Dr Shapiro could remove my strip. This again was completely painless and to be honest I almost fell asleep as I was very comfortable lying there and had foolishly had little sleep the night before due to needless worry. After the strip was removed the techs starting the cutting while I was being sutured up.
Dr Shapiro then told me he had managed to get rid of most of my poor previous scar which was great and I almost started to cry soft sod I am lol. He then started to make the incisions for my new hair with Janna counting everyone out loud so we knew just how many there was. When about 90% of the incisions were made, they used a dye onto my recipient area for them to see the incisions better. They saved around 10% of the grafts to be used for fine tuning at the end. They were also taking estimates of how many grafts were to be expected every half hours or so.
Janna and the other techs then started to plant with Dr Shapiro checking all the time he was very thorough and hardly ever away whilst they were doing this. They planted in a rotation so that each tech didn't become too tired. It was obvious that they had all been there working together for a lot of years as they were like a well oiled machine working in tune with each other it was very impressive to see.
During the surgery I was given Valium to help me relax and offered a choice of Dvd's to watch on a flat screen TV in front of me, the whole experience was so relaxing I almost fell asleep on numerous occasions and had to fight to keep my eyes open at times lol.
I can honestly say though that through out the whole procedure I didn't feel one bit of pain, and I was told that if I did to tell them so they could administer more anesthetic.
The whole thing lasted from 8.00 am until around 5.00pm with a break in the middle for lunch which was a lovely pizza courtesy of NervousNelly,thank you!!.
I was also told that if I ever needed the rest room just to ask and I could go, which I did on a couple of occasions and both times I was escorted by this very caring lovely technician just to make sure I was ok due to the medication ,all in all the level of care shown throughout was simply exceptional. The guys who work at SMG should be very proud of themselves as they do a superb job and really know how to make someone feel welcome and look after them.
Throughout the surgery I was offered drinks periodically which was a nice gesture as you can imagine sat in a chair that long you become restless and a nice drink every now and again alleviated that .
When most of the grafts were placed Dr Shapiro and Janna began to fine tune the hairline with the last lot of grafts to fine tune the work and they really took there time over this to ensure it was just right and as planned from the beginning.
After the surgery was finished Tom one off the techs a really cool guy went through all the post operative instructions and gave me a bag with pain killers and some gauze cloths, graftcyte spray and antibiotic cream he was very thorough with the instructions and made sure I understood properly which was good thanks Tom!!.
I was then given something to eat and drink before I said goodbye to everyone and thanked Dr Shapiro for all the work he had done , Janna then asked if I was happy with the results and i'm not ashamed to admit that even though I'm a man off 34yrs old it brought tears to my eyes when I looked in the mirror.
After the surgery i went back to the hotel on the free shuttle bus which was very handy and the driver was great, the hotel was only minutes away from SMG so the ride only took a short while.
I was told to return the day after surgery for a shampoo so they could instruct me properly on how to do it. The free bus picked me up again the following day and when i arrived Janna introduced me to one of the techs, who was also a hairdresser called Sue. She said she was going to trim my hair after Janna had washed it for me and she did a great job as it looked lots better when the sides were trimmed to match the new grafted hair.
Afterwords Dr Shapiro took some pictures and video footage of my results he asked me if I was happy and I said ecstatic.
The city itself was great to explore and was beautiful and worlds apart from anything we have here in the UK, I was mesmerized by all the tall buildings and how clean the place was, also the people there were so polite and well mannered it was like something from a dream I really took to the city and its definitely a place id visit again.
I realize this has been a long thread but I feel that after the poor surgeries ive had in the past I owe it to everyone out there who has supported me on the forums to tell them just how pleased and thankful I am. Right now I feel like a kid in a candy store and I would like to say a huge heartfelt thank you to Dr Shapiro for all his hard work and dedication in making my dreams come true.
You truly are the greatest man I've ever met in my entire life you were born with a gift and i'm just so glad I got the pleasure of you using it on me, in my humble opinion based on all the research I did before you agreed to do the pro Bono work and my own experience ive had with you, you are definitely the greatest hair transplant surgeon on the planet today and as well as that you have now become a good friend and id like to wish you all the best for the future.
I would also like to thank Janna who is just an incredible lady who has the patients best interest at heart 100% of the time, you went out of your way every day I was in Minnesota to help me and for that I am and always will be eternally grateful you're the best J
SMG ROCK!!!!!!!!
I realize people may possibly think i'm only writing this article and saying good things about SMG as ive had a repair there, but i think its important to emphasize the fact that hand on heart the treatment i received from SMG was absolutely second to none.
They looked after me every single step of this project and were always there to answer any questions i had. Their entire staff bent over backwards to accommodate me and they really were a great bunch of people every single one of them.
They were very professional and extremely caring and it was visible straight away that Dr Ron Shapiro really knew what he was talking about as soon as i spoke with him, i genuinely believe he really is at the very top of the ht game and i would not hesitate one bit to recommend him or Dr Paul to anyone.
Overall i'm walking on air at the moment thanks to everyone who's contributed to this repair project. The fact that guys at SMG and on the hair loss forums some who ive never met before in my life have contributed to me getting my life back means so much to me, i simply cant describe how thankful i am and i really am glad to have found the hair loss forums and come across people like SMG,Spencer,Bigmac,PB, Tim UK, tubs ,nervous Nelly and all the other great folk that have contributed to this.
best wishes to everyone who supported me i'm off to bed now as i'm extremely tired and looking forward to dreaming about using a comb for the first time in eight years lol
I would also like to say a huge thank you to PB and BIGMAC who started this whole project for me. Your the best guys i owe you big time

tell your first sergeant that you are in love with him and you want to have gay anal sex with him. bring some flowers and ky jelly with you. this might actually work unless he takes you up on your offer. but then i think you might have some other problems to deal with, LOL.

The Benefits of OBD ii code scanner
Have you ever faced so many problems with your car and then brought your car often to the mechanic? And what would he tells you when you are at the mechanic? I think he tells you that you have nothing to worry about your car and all parts being taken care of and he is expert on this field. He also tells that he can solve your problem easily and perfectly if you spend only some money for fluid, on this part, on that part and so on. May be you might be astonished on how they really know about this trouble. But now a day it is very easy to detect the car defect by the ODB II code scanner due to improvement of car diagnostics technology.
What is ODB II code scanner? The ODB II code scanner is that special plug which is applicable to car models and detects the problem occurring with it and it is used from 1996 onward. And what is the function of ODB II code scanner? The function of this instrument is to serve as a computer interface that provides a standardized emission monitoring and other vital systems. The OBD II code scanner is not only convenient to use but also very easy to handle at the same time. When you connect an ODB II code scanner with your car parts it will give you updated information's of your car and it helps you to monitoring and detecting engine malfunctions. Malfunctions can arise from different source such as fluid or oil, spark plug, fuel injection, throttle and so on. With this, you need the help of automotive repair manuals.

that's the idle air control solenoid,its located on the throttle body,its the one with four wires on it,more than likely its stopped up or has just gone bad,you might be able to clean it out ,good luck.

Check Engine Lights Are Sensitive
The service engine soon or check engine warning light is your cars friend but it can be very sensitive and annoying. In this quick article I will discuss why the check engine light comes on. I will also touch on a few ways to diagnose codes and turn off the amber check engine light.
The check engine light is turned on directly by the vehicle computer. Most manufacturers call this the PCM. This stands for Powertrain Control Module. You may find other names for this unit but basically it is considered the vehicles main brain.
The PCM watches many different engine sensors. It then divides these sensors into multiple channels and monitors each channel and compares the range of data to the specifications that are in memory. The pcm is monitoring both inputs like coolant temperature and oxygen sensors but also output controls like idle air control motor steps and egr percentage open or closed.
So the amber engine light is turned on when the computer notices a parameter out of range. Keep in mind that output control parameters like the EGR and IAC mentioned above are usually measured with a resistance value or reference voltage to assure proper component operation. And also the check engine light is amber to express caution not red like the oil light that means emergency or turn off the vehicle now or damage your engine.
When the check engine light is turned on the computer is notifying the driver that one of the channels that it is monitoring is out of the specific range. When this light comes on the car may have set a single code or many codes.
This is where diagnosing the check engine light properly will save you money and time in replacing unnecessary parts. Using an automotive scan tool, you can view the data stream for the particular sensors that set the code.
Another good rule of thumb when diagnosing sensor codes is to diagnose the failures that are set with lower numbers, prior to diagnosing the other sensor codes. This is because the higher number codes could be set by the lower number failures. This is not a hard rule and you may have to apply some common sense to this as in a misfire code should be addressed before repairing a rich exhaust code. Since the UN burnt fuel from a cylinder is detected as a rich condition.
To review your computer is monitoring many channels and multiple sensors and simply comparing the data with the parameters that have been programmed into the PCM itself. Above or below these data settings commands the PCM to notify the driver they are polluting the atmosphere by turning on the service engine soon light.
In some cases these out of range readings can be either temporary or intermittent. This is again where the scan tool comes in handy for figuring out why the check engine lamp is illuminated. You can clear the codes and run the vehicle and see if the check engine light comes back on. If it does, then you have a path of diagnosis related to the diagnostic codes that have returned. If the warning light stays off after you clear the code then don't worry about it. This could have been an isolated glitch or an intermittent problem. Also note that some times carmakers change the parameters in the computer memory so a particular code will not be so sensitive. When this happens the manufacturer will issue a technical service bulletin to notify mechanics.

what do I code a bus trip to when it involves the officers of the corp. having an annual meeting?
I don't know your chart of accounts, but you could certainly code it to travel and then memo it as trip to annual meeting.
The other thing you could do, is set up an account for annual meeting, and have several subaccounts for travel, meals, lodging, supplies, space rental, etc...in order to capture all the expenses associated with the meeting.

How do I get rid of the "check engine" light on my Corolla?
I'll be selling my car because im moving and I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time selling my car because the check engine light is on. It's been on for several months but the car runs great. I've researched and it seems that many old and even newer corollas have problems with the check engine light always turning on even if the car runs fine and even after its been checked and diagnosed. Any suggestions on how to turn it off?
The only sure way to get it off for good is to have the error code read out and tracked down to what's causing it. The reason is that even if you disconnect one of your battery cables and get rid of the light for awhile, if there's a true problem, the error will reoccur. Even though the car runs fine, that doesn't mean there isn't something wrong with the car, and if I were buying the car, not knowing what might be wrong with your car would worry me, especially since you've been driving it that way for months. Of course you worry how much it will cost to fix it. But you can bring the car to a Toyota Dealer and at least find out what the error codes mean without having to pay a lot of money. Then you might find out that the problem is not expensive to fix or at least you can show a car buyer the receipt from the Toyota Dealer on what has to be fixed. If you have an AutoZone auto parts store near you, they will read out the error codes for free and you can ask another question on Answers what those codes mean.
