Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and I have a slight problem. There is a Racoon that is lodged underneath my car. I tried getting the thing out with a pipe but had no luck. Any suggestions?

well pt have you tried cleaning out your throttle body?

DUH!! that was the first of my diagnosis and it didn't help at all either. I think I may need to drive around down and just bottom out everywhere until it hops out.

Might have to go to a dealer to get a new one, or check ebay!

PureTuner

yeah good thinking

I know it's not good, but when I read the problem was "raccoon that is lodged underneath my car," I couldn't help but laugh :P

Stupid raccoons...I hit one a few months ago and it tore my front bumper on the right side, to the point where it spiderwebbed an insane amount and the only way to fix it is to buy a whole new bumper. Cheapest estimate? $700.

All because I just had to go driving aimlessly...

....is it ALIVE? if so, i suggest a small amount of gasoline followed by a lighter. OR you can spray it with compressed air.

if it's dead, get on a lift and get yourself a nice big spatula.

Just charge it rent. It will help pay for mods and repairs...

Why would you want to get rid of the raccoon? It's like + 50 HP!

If theat racoon is still alive, call animal control IMMEDIATELY!!! The last thing you want to do is get into a scrap with a racoon. When cornered, injured, or feel threatened these animals can become VERY AGGRESSIVE and WILL ATTACK. Their claws are VERY SHARP and they can carry all sorts of diseases, rabies, etc. Do not handle this yourslef unless you really enjoy getting bit.

A comprehensive claim wouldn't hurt you Sir (depending on your deductible)


That's what insurance is for!
