I got a tuneup on a car I just bought. After closing the hood

sensors die, get over it

sounds really vague too, if you know what kind of sensor that would help tremendously

>>17015029
Probably a bad MAF/MAP sensor, you disconnect these and the car will default to the standard fuel program from the factory. The sensor is so skewed the computer is basing the fuel calculations from this and will not run.

Unless you got points, you fucked up.

Woah there, grandpa. It's April of 2017. Most cars have distributerless ignition systems now.

I get sensors die. I just don't want to be scammed. The timing is really convenient.

Your ignorance is the problem.

/o/ is not your personal mechanic

>>17015029
He's scamming you, i wouldnt trust a word out of his filthy mouth. Just keep driving with it unplugged ya dummy

>>17015029
mechanic tried to clean out the maf with brake cleaner and probably messed it up, try buying some of that maf cleaner can bullshit and trying to clean the maf out again and see if it works.

>>17015029
When it comes to mechanical, there is no such thing as a coincidence. They probably didn't clean it right or maybe even bumped it upon removal/replacement.

Check the MAF and make sure it is clean and straight. If it is bent, take a photo and demand compensation. You will have to prove that your car was running fine before, though. Which you won't be able to. And if your mechanic is even half-scummy, he will know this and tell you to fuck off.

At that point, leave negative reviews on Yelp, google, and any business site he belongs to and send him a personal email with something along the lines of, "For the cost of a MAF you broke, you lost at least 1 customer. Fuck you and have a nice day."

/o/ ISN'T NOT your personal mechanic, either. There are no defined rules on this one. Go back to /b/ to start arguments with the realists who tell you you're still a male, even though you don't "identify" as one.

No shit. So why did you take a distributorless, fuel injected car in for a "tune-up?"
