Can we NOT close threads?

.. unless someone specifically requests it?

Such as the Need Help Now! thread. IRONDOG442 stated that you need the ground strap under the IDI cover for the ICM and related ignition components to function properly. I am unable to reply and mention that it is unnecessary. The ICM has a ground wire, the strap is not required. I haven't used mine for a little over a year now I think.

It's posted in 2.4L Twin Cam specific because that's where my reply is directed to: a thread in this section.

jayson_waltz · 10-20-2009, 02:27 PM

yea um why was that closed even? it looks like a legitimate help thread to me

Ttop191 · 10-20-2009, 02:30 PM

well, the problem is fixed so maybe that is how they are justifying it, haha

ps, how did you like my noise description :P

jayson_waltz · 10-20-2009, 02:32 PM

^there are threads that are many years old that the problem got solved and they aren't closed

Ttop191 · 10-20-2009, 02:33 PM

good point.

Threads like that shouldn't be getting closed, because if a n00b has the same problem (this issue was common when I got my Alero, so I'm sure its presence won't change as more Alero's get up there in miles), they'll create a new thread. Whoever closed it is just asking to add to forum clutter.

My bad for being the n00b nick, haha
