It’s going to take some getting used to running tires at such low pressures.
I’d be afraid of snakebites.

I need another weekend. This one ended up being entirely too busy. Had a good productive day off on Friday but then had to stay with my wife at the house where they're dog sitting, then go to work on Saturday and spend the night there again.
Surprise on Sunday morning when we were going to go home and go on a bike ride when another misfire started on the Escape. Same code as last time P0201 injector circuit open but cylinder 1 this time.
This time the connector was fine and the injector harness had proper continuity and no shorts so I started checking resistance on all injectors. All checked out with similar values but cylinder 1 was open, so I thought I would just pop in the old cylinder 2 injector I had saved but it checked open as well. So my last misfire wasn't necessarily the connector backing out but a failing injector.
So today I ordered 4 more which should get here Wednesday, and if I have time on Thursday I'll replace all the other ones before we drive to Missouri on Friday/Saturday. And I'll probably bring those 4 good ones with me on the trip plus all the required tools just in case they give me more trouble. I'm a bit concerned that there's something frying the injectors since I had two fail in about 2 weeks but that's way beyond my ability to diagnose. Also bought a new serpentine belt that I'll bring along on the trip just in case.
Need to do an oil change tonight or tomorrow.
This car is getting expensive.

Back in my back to the land days, I made elderberry wine every year, using my maternal grandfather’s recipe. A couple bottles got away and were stumbled upon 12 years later. It had aged nicely.
That man’s grandfather? Father? began his life as an Amish man. At any rate both grandpa and his sister took a drop of wine ‘for medicinal purposes ‘.

So things are not confusing for BAM, there is no ebike or any other new bike. It was an April Fools Day joke.

I too am sweating automotive issues. My Kia has given me a check engine light. That little &#%$d! Scan says p219f cylinder #4 , air fuel imbalance. Drives just fine.
Did some reading, turns out each cylinder has its own o2 sensor. Thaaaat sounds expensive.... but could also be fueling issues. So I filled the tank and gave it some system cleaner and turned the check engine light off. Ran ok on the way home. Started up ok this morning. Then it proceeded to misfire and lose power all the way to work. Check engine light came back on too. Got to work. Shut it off for a second. Went in and unlocked. Came back out and restarted it. Gave it a Rev. Engine smothed out check engine light went out. Took it for a short ride down the street. Seems to be ok. I hope I didn't jinx things. Say a prayer for me.
The weird thing is it was 2 years ago yesterday that I bought it. Does my car have a sense of humor? Or April fools day from my car?

What size tires? You can experiment with pressures until you feel comfortable. I have 27.5 x 2.8 tires. If I had smaller tires or was riding on pavement I would raise the pressure.
