Shit I did last weekend:

>changed oil
>changed air intake filter
>cleaned throttle body
>installed new turn signal control lever
>went to shop to get check engine light code
>cleaned idle air control valve
>installed new idle air control valve because old one died after clean and reinstall.
>installed new throttle position sensor

Still have intermittent check engine light and high idle/surging. PCM went bad or I've got a short. Probably gonna have to take it to the shop because I dont have the tools to program a new pcm, and I dont feel like screwing around with wiring..

Oh man. I know what that's like. My Dad taught me how to change the blinker fluid when I was young so I totally know my way around cars and know what you're talking about. Haha, right guys? Blinker fluid is advanced stuff.

It's like you people don't like that nice smoky smell on your engine.

Seriously though, it's not worth the risk of getting any shit in your oil.

Basic car maintenance should be a mandatory high school course. I'm lucky my dad gave clear step-by-step instructions when I would observe/assist him. That is, on one of the ~22 days out of the year when he bothered to see me...

she is adorable

>dad is a mechanic who owns his own shop
>never teaches me anything about cars
>figured out basic maintenance myself
I still usually go to a shop for oil changes because I'm lazy.

Interestingly enough, had a really stupid thought. Presuming electric cars become very very popular over the course of like, the next 20-40 years will being able to work on "old" cars become a valuable skill?

My dad fucked off when I was little.
No one there to teach me that shit, just a world full of bullies and other shitty people who either don't care about me or intentionally trying to make my life a hell because muh survival of the fittest crap.
I don't have a fucking car anyway though so who cares.

Not so much valuable as it would be a niche skill.

Who /25+ and still can't do basic tasks/ here?
