I have had a Super Shi**Y week with my car. For starters, the exhast fell off of the car at the converter (where the converter was supposed to be) so i took the exhaust off. Then my ingition module went out (no sparky spark said the AZ employee) so I bought the only ignition module that fit the car, a canadian standard 2bbl module. I pulled the car into the shop to do some work on the windows and electronics and decided while I had some time to replace the module. Im not a mechanic, but I know alittle bit about cars (b4 cars in particular are confusing). This student who claims he knows a little about cars from being in the army rangers helps me put in the window on the car and then helps me put in the ignition module... and when I turn the key, the dist starts to knock. I ONLY took out 3 spark plug wires, wires 1, 3, and 5 because the cap and plug wires are not numbered. He takes off ALL of the spark plug wires. So now Ive got a mess because im into an area of mechanics im not familiar with, and this guy has f**ked my car
when I told him to just lift the cap up. for the past 3 days the car has been stuck in the shop and Ive not been able to start it. It backfires, sputtres, and the carb is flooded.
(the morale here... Dont Let tweekers under the hood of your car... I found that out today)
Today the Timing is waaaaay off as well as the air fuel mixture in the carb. So I replaced the fouled plugs due to this fool, and this is when sh*t started to happen..... I had a massive backfire when I went to start the car because the wires were crossed. Instantly people are shocked and startled and the next thing I know I have 15 people crowded around my engine bay
and it is crazy. People are telling me what to do and messing with my engine like its thiers. (Im the one who had to walk 11 1/2 miles home yesterday) The guy who was messing with my car was messing with things I told him NOT to mess with started to run his mouth. A 17 year old kid who claims he is an ASE master mechanic start messing with my engine, a active blood gang member starts to mess with my car, and 5 other people. (I got klocked in the damn chin, still spittin blood). Then I herd this guy say fighting words... "you shut the F*** up..... to the blood member, and the next thing I remember saying was "HIT THE DECK!!!"
People are in each others faces yelling, shoving, talking sh*t... I have 5 people yelling advice to me about my car, I have people laughing at me about my car, people insulting me, people saying push it off a damn cliff, and people threatening to whup my ass:biggrin:.... I was damn near in tears and had to walk away before I killed somebody or somebody killed me (verbally of physically) This guy starts running his mouth again, and people are mad at me saying you need to listen to this 17 year old kid who works at AZ, and is a master certified ASE, why dont you listen to me or to what people around you are saying, are you stoopid......
The lesson, work on your own damn S**T, know what you are doing, know HOW to fight if you need to, have a level head, and have patience... and get a car that works......
Thanks for letting me VENT-T-T-T.......
