suddenly check engine light is on hours after new battery. Go to autozone

What are the chances I royally fucked up buying this car. Theres a slight chance the new battery is causing this as the car started idling lower after replacing it. But fuck

>>needs tuneup
wtf did you buy? no car made in the last 30 years needs a "tuneup"
>>17193256
Do you now see why people lease cars? Let me guess... You got a 9000 point inspection with the car?
The only way you know if a used car is good is if you completely strip it apart.
>>17193256
Only good news I heard is that the part only cost 120

Bought my 36 year old truck with 180k miles on it. Literally nothing happened in 20k miles of driving done over 11 months.

A tuneup means replacing fluids, belts, tires, aligning wheels, and fixing small issues if present.

>inside trunk button
yeah mine has never worked.

>belts, tires, aligning wheels, and fixing small issues if present.
Negro, a tune has to do with the fuel system, ignition system and checking, replacing, filling fluids. Belts, tires and alignment isnt a tuneup.

Terrible bait. Are you even trying?

>>17196938
You're a fucking idiot.
The term tune up specifically refers to the ignition system.
Just because most normies don't know what a tune up is doesn't mean a tune up doesn't have a definition.

>Bought a used car
>Thought there would be nothing to do to it
Used cars have a high maintenance period when you first get them, that's the way it is.
>needs tuneup
I would have done that regardless, because you're getting a used car likely with no credible maintenance history.
>needs throttle position sensor
Big whoop.
>needs new battery
Car batteries go bad, it's a maintenance item. That would be like complaining that it needed brakes.
>needs catalystic converter
If it needs a cat that's because the car hasn't been running right for years.
It doesn't happen over night.
