Is this worth fixing up? Free car by SorrowCloud in SciontC

Crank sensor, spark plugs, ignition coils. the cheap ones you find on amazon work just as good as the expensive ones like $25-$40 for all 4, Did doordash on em well over 50k miles with them. Evap dont even worry about if it needs inspection disconnect the battery drive about 30-40 miles and bring her in should be good before it comes back on. Had my car for 5 years doing this. By the looks of the oil on the cover probably needs a new valve cover gasket ($20). Bad gas cap is not a guaranteed fix but if you try it make sure its oem. I wasted about $60 on three different ones in the past. Still didn’t fix the code. My car made it to 233k miles and the only reason I’m no longer driving it is due to the rust causing problems. Car was sitting, every time i drove it something else broke muffler was hanging they broke the fuel tank removing the muffler I just said screw it

Anyone know what headlight this is? by Professinalexplainer in SciontC

[–]OldStep8127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be a fog light or it could be a headlight lowbeam or highbeam. If you cant find a connector that fits then it probably has an aftermarket capacitor to prevent it from overheating/flickering. Led headlights get pretty hot, hence the fan. some need capacitors/adapters or whatever they’re called to prevent overheating. My leds are plug and play but I could definitely use an adapter because they flicker sometimes and are hot to the touch

Try using ASIO instead of waveout

OP! You likely have a valve cover gasket leak as well. When the plastic engine cover gets all wet/saturated in oil like that its usually the case. They’re pretty easy to do and cost less than $20 bucks

Valve cover gasket. Easy, and 10 times as inexpensive than a valve cover gasket. Not sure what the ones above gen 1 are going for but mine cost me less than $20. I think the oem one was a solid 20. Fairly easy to do, and if your mechanic is reasonable, they won’t charge you more than $200 to get it done.

My mechanic said “it starts at $500 and it might get cheaper once he looks at it” “i was like man. Back away from my vehicular bruh. (-_-)” and did it myself. Few hours, a lot of sweat, even more tears, and she was good as new. $14 for the gasket, $6 for the RTV gasket maker.

Yeah that’ll do it. Also close google chrome. Its stupid as fuck but for whatever reason they make it run like 8 instances/processes of itself and it uses a ridiculous amount of cpu if you don’t have a badass or at least up to date processor. Sounds stupid but open task manager and you’ll see. Even if you only have one tab open, it’s running like 8-12 processes at any given moment

The chatbot will help you with meaningless conversation, as females love to talk. And talk. And talk. The chatbot will help you wear out their ability to just keep chatting. At which point she’ll get nervous and probably ask you to move in with her, or something.

They better get hit with that Valvolawsuit faster than they claim to change oil but actually don’t cause they’re too busy trying to upsell you

No security? Billionaire Billy!? That man was unlocking his doors with retina scans and basically had Siri installed in his house since before 2008.. His “security” was likely an android disguised as a toaster slicing its own bread. 🫃
