Check out your fuses to make sure you everything checks out.
I’d pull the center console and check out what’s going on with the radio if the problem started at the same time it could possibly be connected.Other than that my first main thought is that a fender bender may have broke one of your engine’s grounds to the frame, It’ll have a ground but not a strong enough ground to start.
That’s assuming you’re jump starting the engine the “proper” way, and not just jumping it with both the positive and negative leads going straight to the battery.You should be able to take manual control of your lights with the switch and manually turn them on without input from the sensor. Try that out and see if your lights come on that way, that’ll rule out the light sensor.0
It’ll be very limited.
A lot of plug and play code scanners can also give you the wrong codes sometimes, especially on newer vehicles.
If you’re only planning on using it to work on your car and maybe some friends then yeah, it’ll give you codes that you can look up and help you fix the problem but you won’t be able to pull up specific codes on it, or see live data or anything.Maintaining your own car isn’t something you have to be certified to do, you can very much learn everything you need to learn from outside resources.
As for their courses you would be a technician for them.
Other than that yes you can take college courses; that will give you a college certificate and some other certificates.
In order to get your ASE you need 2 year work experience in that field and take whichever tests that apply for you.[quote=”Evil-i” post=190444]I will always advise to not change the oil viscosity from the manufacturer’s recommendations. Going to a heavier oil is not going to do anything positive for you.
You could try switching to mineral oil of the correct viscosity. At least you won’t be spending as much to keep oil in your high mileage engine.
If you plan on keeping this vehicle, you have to accept that it’s at the point where it needs repairs. A compression test and leak down test will give you some info on the mechanical health of your engine.[/quote]
+1 on the compression and leak down test
Throw a leak down and compression test on it for the oil leak.
See if it’s leaking past the piston rings.
That would require a lot more to fix than most other places the oil could be going.I don’t see why it would be illegal.
Call your local police department’s non emergency number and verify with them.Check to see if your rotors are warped, see if there’s a piece of gravel stuck between the rotor and the back plate, make sure your floater pins are lubed and move okay.
I would still like to see if anyone has any insight on what NHRA regulations would pertain to this kind of setup?
