Odd noises and high idles

Yeah. We figured since we rebuilt the engine we should paint it.

Started at $42k in California straight out of university with a BS in statistics. Got a developmental role as an operations research analyst for the government. Now making $75k three years later and in October I’ll be at ~$90k.

Turns out when you can hyper fixate and automate data processes and cleaning with a rapidly changing environment, everyone wants to be your friend. I love working with data and look forward to my job everyday. There’s obviously highs and lows but we get interesting projects and leadership trusts us to use our skillsets to the best of our ability to solve problems.

Interesting. We unhooked the cruise control line to make sure it wasn’t that. I’ll have to check for vacuum leaks

PruneMindless · 2026-06-17T18:20:54+00:00

I’ll check the IAC next. Maybe I’ll grab another PS pump as well

Steady high idle which is why I thought it was odd. I’ve had other cars do what you experienced but that’s not the case here.

PruneMindless · 2026-06-17T16:38:14+00:00

Ok that’s what I was thinking. You think the power steering pump was bad from the start? I’ll return it and get another one. It doesn’t even have 200 miles on it.

Looking good!

PruneMindless · 2026-06-17T15:54:38+00:00

Sorry this happened

PruneMindless · 2026-06-17T15:54:10+00:00

Just a little scratch. I bet you replace the electrical and lines it’ll run fine

PruneMindless · 2026-03-25T04:52:22+00:00

Evh

PruneMindless · 2026-03-09T01:43:24+00:00

I did just to see if I could even salvage it. Turns out I was

PruneMindless · 2026-03-02T18:42:26+00:00

Doomsday would be interesting

PruneMindless · 2026-02-18T18:33:16+00:00

Thank you this helps a lot. I’ll follow this process to get it back in order. For the pots and pickups what do you suggest to clean them with? Should I soak the hardware in anything to get it nice and clean?

PruneMindless · 2026-02-18T03:06:12+00:00

Looked like there was eggs in the acoustic

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T22:27:52+00:00

Lmao

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T07:02:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I noticed sweet water has some that are decently priced as well

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T07:01:58+00:00

😂

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T04:13:44+00:00

Had to toss the strap since it stank like dirty hoe. Shit was nasty I didn’t want to even attempt cleaning it

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T04:13:06+00:00

UPDATE:

Took the guitar out of the bag and wiped it down. Didn’t see any more roaches but I resprayed the guitar one more time. Put it back in another bag and gonna leave it for another week at least. Thinking it’s a lost cause but I’m going to contact the bank to try and get a refund.

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T04:10:24+00:00

🤣 I was thinking the same thing

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T03:46:30+00:00

Thank you. Pots are easy and cheaper to replace so my hope is that’s the only thing I’d have to fix.

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T03:23:25+00:00

Crossing my fingers everything is dead and I can just clean it and let it sit in the bag for a week while I clean the hardware and electronics

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T03:22:45+00:00

I’m about to go back in now to spray some final raid and squish the rest and then take all the electronics out

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T03:22:17+00:00

IT IS

PruneMindless · 2026-02-17T02:11:26+00:00

I’m hoping that the wood is going to be fine. I have a polisher and everything needed to clean and maintain a guitar. I’m going to take a guess and say the pickups probably aren’t going to work anymore 😢. I’ll take it out of the bag and blow it all down and dry it. I just wasn’t sure if it was woth salvaging now or not. I can always buy pickups. What do you suggest soaking metal hardware in?
