I'm hours of time and ~$1,500 deep into the auto key programming and locksmith rabbit hole Tread carefully, and set reasonable expectations A lot of the tools are touch and go, poorly translated Chinese copies, others simply don't work What vehicles will you predominantly be working on, and...

Check the injectors against this TSB https://charm.li/Toyota/1999/Avalon XLS V6-3.0L (1MZ-FE)/Repair and Diagnosis/Technical Service Bulletins/Customer Interest/Powertrain - Rough Idle/Single Cylinder Misfire/ Trav did me right with my 2AZ injectors in my xB 👍

I really should charge more 🤔 I'm not exactly building an empire on $60 oil changes and $20 CAFs 🙄 It'll be back, they always come back...

EPS coupler on a '13 Elantra 71k, believed to be original I put the supposedly improved part in from my Hyundai dealer, $2 Getting it apart was easy, getting that 14mm thru bolt down the column back through was a chore And of course, disconnecting the battery made the idle unstable, so I had...

Good PM I only say this, as I've got an '07 Civic I'm currently fixing up to flip, and I observed some corrosion and wetness in the ECT1 connector It still worked fine, but for $7, I thought I should replace it Famous last words 🙄 Luckily it unscrewed by hand, I was afraid I'd have to...

Check ECT1 (up by the thermostat housing) for leakage or coolant ingress to the connector If a new thermostat doesn't fix your P0128, check Service Bulletin 09-092 for more guidance, you might need ECT2 in the radiator and a pigtail Honda AT fluid check procedures have always been weird...

Rodent damage on the MAF connector on a 2000 Eldorado Owner wants a fast, cheap fix in the work parking lot That's exactly what he got Now I'm not cruel, I used a GM pigtail, and I'll have it back to shrink the connectors and some Tesa + Honda rodent tape It was so windy it kept blowing...

Wait, I can put a 20195 on a 2AZ? In place of the YZZF1/F2? Isn't that just a long 910s/400s?

Making some progress with the cheap project Civic I managed to cure a parasitic drain issue that stymied the previous owner for years The driver's door lock would never work power, after two false starts with incorrect latches, I finally got the right one in It would constantly try to keep...

I was summoned for the neighbor's '24 CX-30 2.5 It just had it's first birthday, which means it's due for it's first oil change I swung by the Mazda dealer, ~$9 lighter for a "Value" oil filter that looks like a rebranded Champion E-Core And they're out of crush washers 🙄 3 different auto...

You'd need a dedicated TPMS tool (barring some cars that'll give PSI readouts in live data) Consider the Autel line (TS408/TS508) Or XTool TP150 I recently upgraded, and plan on moving my TS508WF on

And they aren't clean or updated like mine 😒 I peeled the factory screen plastic off this one ☺️ I'm into this for less than average, it might replace my assortment of MT2500 and MTG2500 red bricks 🧱 If anyone's looking for a clean one, I'll have several nice kits put together in the near future

I was toying with this Solus Ultra I picked up recently, and I was curious if it could still be updated Turns out Snap on trucks won't touch it anymore, and it was $500-$1000+ even when they did I found a guy on a forum somewhere who for $50, made me the files to take it from how I bought it...

Third time's a charm on a working key for my neighbors '17 Spark LS It's of dubious value, because the base LS only has a power actuator on the driver's door He also loses them faster than I can remake them, and the car (used) only came with one key 🙄 I guess it's easier 🤷‍♂️ This car spit out...

Locatelli really is the superior cheese 👍 I put small chunks left over (scraped off the rind) into soups Adds a bit of flavor, and surprise chewy chunks 😋 My grandmother did it for years, we wondered why her Pea or Chicken soup was so much better 🤔

Nothing this time, just rolling by I'm not down that way in Brooklyn often these days I did used to visit their "Mexico" venue often for work I'm a little rusty on scrap prices, but I've got a small pile of rotors to take in one of these days

If you know you know 😜 Unfortunately, there was no Neutral Drop TV activities 😔 So unnecessary 🙄 First of the new shape 500e I've seen around 🔌 ⚡ A tax pun at this time of year ⁉️ Maybe he owns an H&R Block? Mini drivers 😯 I can't remember the last time I saw an Adrenaline In SoHo of...

I'm not sure that makes sense? How's that even logistically possible?

LPG was never big in my area Kinda like Propane and Methanol, it never really took off CNG was marginally more successful in my area I work for the local (natural) gas company, and even we're pivoting away from it CNG Civic was no fun, sad VTEC noises 😔

I often embed a TikTok or YouTube short if it explains something better than I can If a pictures worth a thousand words, what's a ~20 second hands on video convey? dnewton3 is beyond correct, this is still one of the few (if only) forums I frequent, because so many others have just become...
