on fact and science, like Jfoj. Take a look at what lead to the last nasty
spat with him. He claimed that there was no vacuum in the intake system
ducting, only in the manifold, past the throttle body. That isn't true.
And I wasn't the first to point it out, Upallnight was already in a little
spat of his own with Jfoj and had pointed it out. I was just agreeing with
part of Upallnights argument.

I outlined how there is more vacuum in the manifold, less in the ducting,
but that there is obviously some vacuum in the ducting from the TB
through the ducting to the MAF, the air filter, etc. While doing that, I
clearly said that I agreed with his main point, which was that he said
that the fuel pressure regulator doesn't use vacuum to regulate the
pressure. He had provided a reference which said that, though oddly
he later discredited his own reference as unreliable because of
translation errors.

His response? He just doubled down on the nonsense that there is
*no* vacuum in the intake ducting and said it over and over. Together
with a sneer at basic science, like his being a mechanic trumps the laws of
physics that have existed for hundreds of years. And
in the current case, he claimed that the crankcase is drawing in outside
air constantly. Again, that is not true, it's not how the car is built,
it's not how the CCV system works. So, I posted that it's actually a
closed CCV system. I would think people here would want to learn
about how systems on their car really work.

As to being respected or not, I really don't care. If some people don't
have a respect for science, how cars really work, can't stand the truth,
it's not my problem. It's odd how the comments about respect are
directed to me and not to the poster that just called me "scum".

I don't have any idea where all this came from. Has nothing to do with my questions concerning humidity of outside air which by the way will be higher than a closed system. But, it does verify you have no interest in changing your ways, very poor decision and unfortunate for the forum worth and reputation.

Why does every thread have to turn into a shit show?

Fixed for you. Any thread mentioning window regulators and CCV - I steer clear

If you understand that equation, it obviously produces a lot of water
that does not exist in ambient air. A conventional PVC design draws
in outside ambient air into the crankcase, replacing the combustion
products, including the water, with fresh air. It's just basic science.

"But, it does verify you have no interest in changing your ways, very poor decision and unfortunate for the forum worth and reputation."

So typical. Ignore my direct, civil answer to your question, backed by sound
science, and drone on about "my ways". And at the same time, not a complaint
about the poster that eschews science, doesn't know how the CCV
design even works and calls me "scum". I present scientific fact,
you ignore it, and go right to the continued attacks. You're right,
some can't change their ways or learn, but it's clearly not me.

I am not confused and haven't been in the past. I was talking about all the jibber jabber that had nothing to do with the topic.

The formula you post is about how much heat is generated by specific measurements of combustion. It has absolutely nothing to do with water anywhere from anywhere. An elephant fart has more to do with this, at least there is some gas in it.

It all boils down to "my infinite knowledge is better than yours". This is turning into one of those "which oil is better for my XXX BMW?" threads....

EVERYONE RUN!!!!

It's a mechanical object and things WILL break/fail except a chrysler product, they just flat out explode and kill all of the occupants

There you go dissing poor Chrysler products. This will create a whole new life to this OP.
