Haha…Yeah I told the service manager thank you but I can’t do that. I don’t need the job just wanted it. I’m currently working offshore in the oil field. The money is good but time away from home is a bummer. Looking to get back into automotive but definitely don’t want to start from the bottom again.

I would start with testing the sensor . You can test your ECT sensor with a DMM set to ohms. Your resistance values should change with temperature.

There is also an independent shop in town hiring. They do hourly plus flat rate. Going to check it out when I get home. Also going to see if the dealership will consider me and what they will offer and go from there. My Toyota dealership told me they will contact me when there next tech position opens. Any thought to which dealers would be best to work for? Seems more Chevy’s on the rode means more hrs made but also more techs in the shop. Thanks guys

I understand where you guys are coming from. I really love auto repair and I want to get back into it but I don’t want to starve either. I’m unsure on what to do but I make a really good salary being an engineer on these offshore vessels but it’s just boring to me bc I don’t get to tear into things and its the same thing everyday. Auto repair every day is different. I’m never home. I’m offshore for 6 weeks and home for 3. I’m a big gear head and if I can just make around 50k I would def get back into it knowing I can wake up and do something I love. I guess I’d just have to take a risk and jump back into it. What would y’all do if you were in my shoes? Service writer is def not for me. By the way nice 2nd gen. I had a 97 with the 420A. Built it up with star turbo kit and forged internals. I still miss that car. Wished It had the 4g63 though haha dang MOPAR!
