Once again am I missing some thing?

Thanks, because i really want that damn code gone.

Well when I started to write this post, it started out as a how-to. But then I figured that there is already a how-to on this website, so I just decided to show some before/after shots of mine to just let some people who dont know, how important this may be.

By the way, this was easy as hell. I havent done something like this before, and it took me under two hours. Most of the time was spent cleaning the damn thing. Just make sure you get some sort of wire to shove into the hole leading to the valve, so you can clean that area as much as you can. Just do a search, and the how-tos can be found. This site doesnt need another one. If you have any other questions, many of us know what to do and we can answer them.

By the way, my code still hasnt come back after resetting the computer. *knock on wood*

That sounds like its maybe the valve itself giving you trouble. You can try and clean it to make sure, but if its clogged it wouldnt say theres too much flowing.
