Would Puerto Rico be considered as International? Some of these locations don't even have airports. Unless Jason changed his mind, a customer who buys a GC in PR would have to travel over 1000 miles to get their skydive. http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Arecibo/Arecibo-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Bayamon/Bayamon-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Caguas/Caguas-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Carolina/Carolina-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Guaynabo/Guaynabo-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-Ponce/Ponce-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html http://www.skydiving.com/locations/puerto-rico/skydive-Puerto_Rico-San_Juan/San_Juan-Puerto_Rico-skydiving.html Refuse to Lose!!!

And the fraud keeps growing. I wonder if there are actually any Jet Charter Services who do business with sLyride AND, if there are, I wonder if they know the truth about sLyride? Just a thought... Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

Definitely Nashville!!! The CMA fair, the general tourism Bonnaroo is close enough, a lot of people pass through on their way to and from. More colleges than most, possibly all states. People come in for days at atime for Football games. Same for the Nascar races. It would be constant year-round business. PLUS, Skydivers from Memphis to Bristol, Louisville to Alabama. Nashville is a perfect medium point. Look at another point, Chattanooga would put it close to flyaway and in a competitive location. Nashville, is far enough away that competition would be minimized.

The point was that, like Driver1 said, the sLyride scam goes a lot further than Skydiving. The Racing and Cruises etc. cost a lot more than a Tandem, so therefore, the Skydiving GC's are small drop in the bucket compared to the Race Car Rides. ie, Tandem, $200 (= or- a few dollars) (sLyride=+ a few hundred) A race car ride, if the customer wants to drive instead of ride, well over $1,000. Cruises are even higher. Furthermore, the point was also, if someone is going to approach the AG, wouldn't it be better to show just how big the scam really is, instead of limiting it to just a few skydiving sites that cover the state. Do the math, (This IS an example); Skydiving websites for a certain state, let's say 100 Add the racing, Balloons, Sharks, on and on, the number suddenly becomes well over a thousand, maybe over 3,000. Do ya think an AG would be more apt to look at a scam with 100 sites or possibly 3,000, or more? I said 3,000, figure this, Luxergy, sLyride, thrill planet, adventure, spagoda, spa-atlas, taparu and more, times the number of venues sold by each, times the number of versions of websites per city, times the number of cities in a state. I counted something like 70 or so venues that they sell GC's on Luxergy alone, so let's say there is 10 cities in Kansas they have sites for, there's 700 sites to start with, so do the math on the rest. If those numbers are somewhere close to accurate, figure how many sites they have if you multiply that by 50 States, and add for the larger states like California and Texas. We need to take the blinders off and look at the whole picture, sLyride sells their fake GC's for more than just skydiving. Refuse to Lose!!!

I have been working on cars for 15 years and I also do side work here and there for family and friends. I would laugh at you if you said you would give me a "couple hundred bucks." It is likely that all the coolant and gaskets you need to do the job are going to be 2x's that much. for a standard 4 cyl engine "as a side job" the absolute cheapest I would do it is $500, and that is just the labor. Andrea, a blown headgasket could cause the symptoms you are having. I see it quite often. If it was just the head gasket and check the head for cracks and straightness, I'd do it for $400 parts and labor, BUT, I'm not in Fla. Refuse to Lose!!!

I will add that a Cylinder head replacement, does not have to be a $1500 job, and just a head gasket and getting the existing head milled and just a basic valve job certainly ain't $1500... Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

Well,,, Me too!!! Like I said, it's really difficult to properly diagnose a problem via long distance. I don't recall anyone in this thread guessing that. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

Agreed, Not the gauge sending unit, It does nothing to control the engine. I'm stepping out, be back later. (just thought I'd give the warning) Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

Yep, I agree. I don't usually disconnect the Battery cable usually don't clear the codes on the OBDII system, that takes a scanner. It does work on the old systems, but we don't have that luxery now with the new systems. I'm leaning toward the CTS myself, but like I said, we're trying to figure this thing out long distance. Who knows, We may all be wrong. I guess we'll see what she comes back with when she gets it fixed. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

I think that the most important element that we are all overlooking here is that we are trying to diagnose (so to speak) a problem via long distance. I think we can all agree that if we were able to see it, the problem very well could be anything that has been mentioned in this thread, ie, Battery, Alternator, Fuel filter or it could be anything that I listed. It's kinda like calling a doctor and saying "My Back hurts", He don't know if you've pulled a muscle, Broke your back, maybe a kidney problem or whatever. The bottom line is that without seeing it, it's really hard to make a solid assesment of the problem. Agree? Another element we have not got any info on is this, Fuel Pressure. Does it get adequate fuel pressure at any time during cranking or running, or is it intermittent or low? That's my 1/2 cents worth. (that's about all it's worth) Refuse to Lose!!!

Thank you. Been in the biz for 28 yrs. Yes you know what your talking about but it sounds like your a typical tech., over diagnosing (you know what i mean)! Mama It sounds like an electrical problem to me. Try to start the car with the dome lamp and head lights on. If they dim down real low and the car dosent turn over as well as without the lights on then it is an alectrical problem. Most commen problems is as others have said battery cables loose or coroded. Also loose connection at started or body ground. Btw there are a bunch of Auto Zone 101 answers on here! Try this part or this part, put a new one of these on there Nope, no over diagnosing, just offering the possibilities. I never said that any of those are definitely the problem and that any of those are going to have to be replaced. I merely said that those have been known to cause such problems as desribed by Skymama. In the description, there was nothing said to indicate that the starter would not crank the engine, or it was slow, AND She said that the battery had been checked, which a battery inspection normally includes the terminals and most of the time, the cables.

I actually prefer to use Brake Cleaner. Much milder, and you're right, no damage. I just said carb cleaner to keep it on topic so not to confuse anyone why I would say brake cleaner if we're working on the fuel system. I have encountered people in the past who want to think that brake cleaner will screw something up, so instead of getting in to that, I just kept it on topic. (if that makes sense) I went back and added brake/electrical parts cleaner to that post. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

Check these out and you may find your problem. (1) Your "Coolant Temerature Sensor" This is a sensor that tells the Computer how hot or cold the engine is and the the computer regulates the fuel input based on that data. If this is bad, it could be telling the computer that engine is either 50 degrees below "0" or 250 above. If it's saying cold, it's like riding around with the choke on and will flood the engine, if it's saying hot, it will lean the fuel mixture out and cause overheating and no power. (2) Check your "MAP" Sensor. AKA "Manifold Air Pressure" Sensor. It tells the computer how much Pressure/Vacuum is in the Intake manifold. This is usually controlled by how much the throttle is open (Or who much you are pushing the gas pedal) (3) Check your "Mass Airflow Sensor". It is located in the breather ductwork near the air filter. It tells the computer how much air is flowing through the air filter. Don't mistake this for a clogged air filter. A clogged air filter will effect the performance of the engine, but unless it's completely blocked, probably by something like a piece of plastic, or trash bag, a clogged air filter is probably not the problem. The easiest way to diagnose an air filter issue is to simply remove it and try to start the car. If it starts, there's your problem. On some of the Fords, this will be a small "Square" shaped "Plate" looking object with 2 "Torx" type screws to secure it. Get the tool to remove it and a can of "Carburator Cleaner" (Spray can) Or preferrably "Brake/Electrical parts Cleaner" (Milder and don't damage plastic or rubber parts), and clean the little wires that stick out of the bottom of that sensor. Be careful if you remove that sensor, those wires that stick out of the bottom are very delicate and if you damage them, the problem will get worse. (4) Check your "Throttle Position Sensor". It is on the Throttle Body and tells the Computer how much you are pushing the gas pedal. It is probably not the problem, but has been known to cause these kind of problems. It is a mechanical sensor and does not read vacuum or air flow. It only reads throttle movement. All these sensors work together to regulate the flow of fuel to the injection system and the result is the fuel injected engine runs as good as they do now days. The old carburated engines didn't have these luxeries. These are the most common causes for your problem and none of them cost much to replace if you do it yourself The Coolant Temp sensor usually cost under $20-$30, the MAP is usually under $40, The TPS is usually under $40 and the most expensive, but usually not the problem can be as high as $300. Don't completely rule out the plugs, wires, fuel filter etc. They can and will cause problems, but it don't sound like this is your problem Refuse to Lose!!!

If it's done correctly, there's no need for a splooge rag because the would be no mess.
