Im attacking one who does not provide the correct diagnosis. Nor have the skills or tools to properly diagnose the problem at hand. Im tired of all the do gooder's thinking they are qualified to repair vehicle from behind a keyboard You make my job a living hell. I have to spend lots of wasted time explaining why the forum said its this and its not.
So now Onto the actual failure the STEALER nor the WARRIOR could not find.
Because I have the knowledge and tools I have located the issue in about 30 min. the issue is the cylinder head is cracked and leaking coolant into the spark plug wells as well as in the engine internally. Leaving my air actuated pressure tester on the vehicle for 30 min reveals coolant in oil pan and in spark plug tube wells.
Yep I passed those ASE tests without study and using my knowledge in the field. and not less than 96% on any one over half above 96% and electrical 99% Ive never taken classes.
Yep I charge more than a dealer due to the fact that I use factory parts give 2 year 24k mile nationwide warranty I stand behind what I do. I make correct diagnosis or its on ME NOT YOU.
I am not a doctor I do Not practice.
Ok maybe Im being harsh but the reality is offering info to fix a problem and that info has already been looked at is not helping. Ive seen an idiot swear up and down a for forum his brake pad replacement fixed his misfire and everyone should do the same thing.
Sorry but Im not impressed with Collage graduates In Utah Im surrounded by them and not one of them could pour piss from a boot with the instructions on the heel.
If you can do my job as well or better please apply Im looking for good techs near at or above my level and they are worth well over 100 k a year.
Congrats, you found the problem that a car you had in your possession was suffering from. Its hard to properly diagnose a car without it in front of you. The same goes for any issue on anything that isnt blatently obvious. Of course with your oh so vast knowledge you would know this.
ASE tests are not all that complicated and are somewhat outdated. once again, it just means you can pass a test.
Any technician worth a damn will stand behind their work and put in the time to fix it correct the first time.
You dont know my qualifications or experience. You dont know what I can and cant do with the tools and knowledge I have.
Do you have the posters vehicle in your possession? If not then you do not know the exact issue the vehicle is suffering from. You are showing an issue that you found on a vehicle just as I was showing a problem I found on my vehicle. You have no more of an idea than I do as to what is actually wrong with the OPs vehicle since neither of us have it in our possession to diagnose.
