P0102 and p0113 and car is dying

2019 86 trd, car keeps dying on me, after the first time I saw a single new code a p0102, car literally would not move, got it towed home and tried again later in the night and it drove fine for an hour of driving and I came home and parked it, today it did it again 5 mins down the road, I decided to unplug the maf and then it drove home just fine, checked codes again and that’s when I saw the p0113 code that wasn’t there before, I plugged the maf back in right after seeing the code and it drove fine again, mind u this is 10 mins after it died on me. Before it barely started and second I touched the gas it died, now fine again, I swapped the maf sensor out after the first time and that did not fix it. I’m out of ideas. Freeze frame shows maf read 0.12 when the code popped up, looking at live data it’s currently reading around 0.4 to 0.6 lb/min

Can’t find topsoil without fertilizer

Scott’s premium topsoil is the second brand of soil I’ve tried and it states that it has no fertilizer but both bags I got were loaded with fertilizer balls or what seems to be fertilizer balls. I tried timberline which also states no fertilizer and that one had a bunch of green fertilizer balls as well. How in the world do I find topsoil that actually doesn’t have fertilizer?????

Fertilizer ball?

Second topsoil I’m trying, Scott’s premium topsoil, and it seems there is fertilizer in this as well even though it clearly states there is not, does this look like a fertilizer ball? It is fully hollow and it’s the second one I’ve found. I previously tried timberline and I found little green spheres in it. I’m running out of ideas

Day 1 vs 1 year

It’s so crazy looking at side to side pictures it makes him seem so huge even though he is on the small end, I can’t believe how small he was when I got him

Topsoil brands with no fertilizer?

What are some good topsoil brands I can buy that are gonna be safe for my lizard, I got timberline because that’s what I’ve seen recommended and it states that it doesn’t contain any fertilizer, however unfortunately after spending hours baking it to sanatize it I found little green fertilizer balls in it. So if I can’t trust packages how do I find one that actually doesn’t have fertilizer in it?

Green pellets in topsoil that says no fertilizer that I’m using for substrate

I need some help here, I got timberline topsoil after being recommended it and I’ve just spent 2 days sifting through it and baking it and I just noticed some small green balls in it, there was only a few I was able to find, not even 10, but what could these be? It’s listed that it does not contain any fertilizer. I found one that was solid and squeezed it and clear liquid came out. Any ideas?

Spacebar is clicky/rattly

My spacebar makes this awful clicky sound and just sounds rattly, I tried a different spacebar from another keyboard and it did not change anything. I lubed my stabilizers a long time ago to try to fix this but it never did, I also did the bandaid mod awhile ago when I was super into modding my keyboards and that didn’t do it either. I’m running out of ideas, the stabilizer bar seems not bent as far as I can tell, am I just doomed to have a rattly space bar?

Need ideas for simple table, no idea what I’m doing

I need to build a table that I can place over this cage without actually touching the cage, I need to keep at least a foot of the left side open on the top for a heat lamp but other than that the rest can be covered, I need ideas for how to go about this, I was thinking maybe just like a regular table all the way across and then just leave the surface open right there, but I also have no idea how to even join boards other than just putting a screw straight through it, could I just do this with brackets? I really don’t care what it looks like

Model o turning shiny

I’ve had my model o wireless for a long time now, I’ve noticed this spot right here is starting to become shiny, i tried a wet paper towel assuming it was hand oils but that did not do anything, I’m assuming whatever coating made it matte got worn down after time, is there anywhere to get like a replacement shell, idc if it’s original or not

Very bad fear of flying

A few years back I developed a fear of flying out of nowhere, I used to fly almost every year as a kid and I loved it. Now every time I’m on a plane I have multiple panic attacks and actually would rather do literally anything than get on a plane ever again. Even just thinking about flying has made me get an anxiety attack before. I have tried xan*x to help because that’s what my dad takes before flying and it did literally nothing whatsoever for me. Is there anything I could try or any medications I could get from a doctor to help me out even with the xan*x not doing anything? I’m having to fly out to California for training for work so I don’t really have a choice here and I’m freaking out.

2019 86 engine cutting in and out

Was on my way to work this morning and the engine just died on me, I pulled over and started it again and when I tried to go I stepped on the pedal and literally nothing happened, rpms didn’t move but it seemed to be idling okay, I eventually got it to move but only when I pushed the pedal fully to the floor and every like 3 or 4 seconds it would die for a few seconds and jolt forward when it came back because I had to have the pedal floored for it to move at all, when It did come back it wasn’t like it was dead cause it had no power because it jolted me forward like I just dumped the clutch from a stop, this was the first time I drove the car in like a week and it happened like 15 mins after I started driving. The car has had a running rich code for a while that nobody has been able to figure out so my first thought was maybe the fuel pump was just dying or something, and then I did see a recall for the fuel pump saying the car shuts off when driving, could that be the culprit here or probably not.

Paranoid that I warped/cracked my head or block

I know I’m like definitely being paranoid about this, but I washed my car and decided to wash my engine bay off cause it had some oil I spilled, and my tiny peanut brain seemed to forgot that I just got home from work and the engine was still hot, I sprayed everything down and right when I got to the headers and saw all the steam that’s when I realized I messed up and probably shouldn’t have hosed everything off. I drove the car this morning and it drove fine, but my paranoid self thinks I’m smelling a weird burning type of smell that I never smelled before. I know it’s probably fine but I need other people to tell me that lol

Bearing that goes with this pulley?

I have a 1990 1.6L and it seems at some point I lost whatever bearing or whatever goes underneath this pulley, I’m getting ready to covert my ac but I can’t figure out what goes underneath this or what this pulley even would be called to Google it

Padding sticks out super far on bottom of agv k6s

I’ve had this agv k6s for a little while and it really seems like the padding on the bottom is sticking out wayyyy further than it should, like it’s super visible when the helmet is on. It fits pretty good, it’s a medium, it’s a little loose now that it’s broken in but a small was too small for me. Does this look normal?

How many coats and time in between for 2k spraymax

Doing some rust repairs on my Miata, I’m not repainting the entire panel because the paint is still good on the parts I cut out so my plan is to paint over the body work, scuff the clear on the whole panel and re clear the whole thing. For the base coat how many coats should I apply or is it just thin coats until you can’t see primer anymore. Or just like one super thick coat. And how long do I want to wait after spraying the base coat before hitting it with the clear?

Ideas for weird idling?

I was daily driving this thing for 2 years without a single problem, I let it sit to do body work for like a month and now I’m having this, goes away after driving for a bit and sometimes just doesn’t do it at all. The ticking sounds exactly like the lifter tick I get if I’m low on oil except I’m not actually low on oil here. It’s also doing that thing where the rpms bounce up and down sometimes and sometimes revs down weird. It still drives just fine while it’s doing all of these things. I’m getting ready to pull the motor and attempt my first rebuild but I just have a feeling that this isn’t something internal that would be fixed from a rebuild like a sensor or something or vacuum leak or something, where would I start here, I would love to get this sorted before pulling the motor so I don’t have to worry about it when I have it rebuilt, it’s the 1.6l engine

Is the 1.5T as bad as people say?

I’m looking at getting a 11th gen civic with the 1.5T, I’d rather the 2.0 but I like the extra features the sport touring model comes with, all I see online is people saying how bad the engine is and it’s got so many issues. I just need it to get to 200-250k without like major issues, minor issues I can deal with, is that realistic or no?

1.5l or 2.0 for long term reliability

I just got a new job that involves a ton of driving, I will be driving for work about 30k miles a year. Looking into a civic because I know they have been known to be pretty reliable. I would like the 1.5 T but I’ve heard that there are issues with them a lot. I need to get at least 200k miles out of this car without major issues. Would the 1.5 still be okay or would the 2.0 be my best bet. I’m looking at any of them from 2022 and newer because my job will cover some of the payment if I have a new car. Which one should I go for?
