Hey man, you do you. People here will always give you shit no matter what. The cruel sadistic fuks that make up /o/'s population have been beaten down by life so hard into the shitty ground that all they want to do is force their hatred of the world onto you. They also just want to dream of having cars they can never afford, instead of actually discussing anything. Honestly, I'll probably just never come back to this board. It's anything but comfy here.

Such is life as a poorfag

I didn't install the evap sensor/valve correctly so every so often I get a CEL for an evap canister leak, but I keep an OBDII code reader and reset the ECU and it doesn't come up for another 2-4 weeks

I've been running rich for a while now, the v8 sohc pops quite a bit, why no cel?

it will only pop a cel if she runs lean, do we always over-tune it a little to run rich instead of too lean?

I called em up Friday and just went down my list of why I was pissed but since the owner was not around he said to call back Monday. The kicker is on the invoice they says the car had a P0335 and keep in mind I checked the codes 5 mins before dropping it off. Do I have a right to be pissed? Im asking for a refund on everything they did with the crank/cam sensor and for them to buy me new OEM ones for me to put in, is that unreasonable.

That's a given. I still don't think I ever tossed a crank sensor code. All weekend i'm just sitting here and stewing over it getting more and more pissed

What did your invoice say? If you didn't specifically sign for an OEM part then there's probably jack shit you can *technically* do. But if you bug them about it you might have some luck. Good luck.

>>15842902
And I get that but even something as a google search of a crank sensor and my engine turns up end less warnings about it. And like I said I don't think it ever tossed a crank code

God damnit, those useless fucks forgot to reset the counter. I still haven't had time to go there and get it fixed.

>>15842905
I'm well aware. I'm just saying that if they continue to act like the dicks that they seem like then you're shit out of luck because, regardless of the reality, you approved of what was actually done ahead of time with a signed document. I'm just tempering expectations so that, while you know you can and should push, you don't try to get in over your head.
