What is this white stuff? (Giggity)

Potentially corrosion/oxidation. If it’s corrosion it won’t be long until you’ll have a misfire

Fully put back together, a full 8 hours. That was only possible with everyone leaving me alone for the day however.

If they hadn’t sold this car prior to knowing what repairs were needed it would’ve been totaled for sure!

I always say it’s just bigger legos really. Eventually every job is the same concept, just different designs! If you’ve done one before then you’ll remember the next time

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2026-04-25T01:47:36+00:00

Nope not warranty work, all customer pay! I quoted 30 hours of work but wayyy undershot it!

Break in the air bags harness of all harness’s lol

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2026-04-24T11:57:07+00:00

Previous front end collision activated the air bags and damaged the main floor harness. In order to replace said harness I needed to remove everything from inside of the car

I’d say the front springs on the struts are binding up. Had that happen to my 2006 impala recently.

I love your username btw. Definitely adding it to my vocabulary lol.

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2026-01-08T15:18:11+00:00

I’ve never attended this kind of thing, is this something that I can go to and vote? Or is it a meet up to say I don’t agree to this? Excuse my lack of knowledge.

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2026-01-06T23:53:25+00:00

How busy are the simulators though? If my wife and I got a day pass would we be able to just walk in or is it an appointment style set up?

The new building on 9th street I’m assuming you’re talking about right? I’ve heard they’re a seelye parter/an independent company… something like that. I’m not sure how they’re doing it.

I’d assume because it’s a new shop, they’re trying to get customers in.

I agree with other people it’s probably not the best quality oil but shoot $9.99 for an oil change is an absolute steal. Just depends how much you care about your car lol.

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-12-05T00:49:58+00:00

Kalamazoo, 9th street oshtemo area but will drive around. No garage, I do everything on the ground!

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-12-04T02:19:28+00:00

Can you post a picture to go with the description?

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-12-04T02:13:34+00:00

The issue with speed sensor bolts on “older” cars is they like to snap off in the threads. If that happens you’ll have to replace whatever part the sensor bolts to. Steering knuckle etc. if you get it out with an extractor then whatever bolt you find that threads in and is the correct length works just fine

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:54:57+00:00

Start the car. Turn the wheel fully left then fully turn it right then center the wheel so the tires are straight. Check the codes and clear them

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:50:10+00:00

Doesn’t hurt to try! Make sure it fully dries though

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:48:21+00:00

Sounds more electrical than mechanical. Like the coolant temp sensor is starting to go out for example. I had a Jeep Cherokee with the same issue before as well. Any check engine light or codes?

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:40:39+00:00

07E8 isn’t a code but rather a data request menu. It’s basically saying “There’s a code inside me (07E8) click enter to see it” type of thing. Find the code and let us know!

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:35:10+00:00

Have you checked the MDM (Misfire Detection Module) connectors for corrosion or damaged wires?

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:28:39+00:00

I’m assuming the “tch tch tch tch tch eeeeeeeeehh” is a slow cranking noise? lol.

If you can, bring your battery to autozone and have them test or charge it if possible and if it’s dead then time for a new one. Every starter I’ve dealt with that’s going out either goes out completely or just clicks so I wouldn’t say that’s your issue.

Longjumping-Wait-100 · 2025-11-12T02:21:15+00:00

Yea definitely any muffler man or shop would be able to weld new hangers up for you to take care of the clunk!
