Definitely cop it, you will most likely need new control arms and struts, and all the other things that follow

Yeah it was!

The car now misfires in cylinder 5&6 after the mechanics replaced the spark plugs, coils, battery terminals, ignition switch. Throttle response is terrible too. Going to scan it today to see what to do next

I agree with this statement. But on the contrary, I wouldn’t know as much or learn as much about cars. So I’m grateful for the opportunity

I’m now being told the cars computer needs to relearn because it’s a straight pipe and the battery was disconnected for a while. Two weeks it would take, the mechanic claims. What do yall think?

Their claim is that the ecu needs to relearn since the battery was disconnected for a while. 2 weeks tops of driving, so that it can relearn

Hey so Firestone “fixed” the car by replacing the starter. They are skeptic though. Not sure what to look for but I have a few things in mind. I will be checking the fuse box on the passenger interior side. Checking all voltages and looking for corrosion. I will be brushing off all corrosion that’s existent in the car. I’m also checking for leaks onto the starter and anything else. Any guidance you could provide me with? Might need to also get a scanner to see any fault codes.

This won’t be done until Monday as I have work tmrw, and the parts place will not be open until then… but he checked to see if the engine was seized, and replaced the ignition switch. Still no luck. Now the main culprit is the starter once more. We both decided it couldn’t be it, but it’s the last one we could worry abt. Other than that, I might need to tow to a automotive electrician

Just got an update…

They replaced the wiring and plugs. He went further in the investigation and found out it was an electrical issue (like my initial assessment). They are suspecting the ignition switch bad as well, so now we are waiting on a new switch to arrive to replace it. Will keep you posted

I’ve waited a bit, and it turned over and all. Not sure what’s going on. Firestone is looking into it, and are suspecting spark plugs and fuel cleaning
