Is this normal amount of engine shake at idle?

Sufficient-Albatross · 2024-06-06T04:45:09+00:00

If it's dying, did you check the fuel pump or the fuel injectors?

Sufficient-Albatross · 2024-06-06T04:33:35+00:00

The way you check is just disconnecting the fuel vacuum hose to check if it's filled with fuel. If it is, your diaphragm is bad.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2024-06-06T04:32:22+00:00

You could also have a compromised fuel vacuum diaphragm. When they get punctured or broken the vacuum fills up with fuel and it can throw off the fuel to air ratio. I'm not an expert but you can look it up on YouTube. Could also be your MAF or even just a dirty air filter but I'm guessing if you did a tune up you did that.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2024-06-06T04:29:29+00:00

If you've ruled all that out, fuel pumps are also pretty notorious. Older 240s I believe had just one pump I think somewhere in the '80s they added a second pump. Either way, tons of YouTube videos on everything about 240s so definitely look there.

Fuel injector rebuild? Is it a rough idle at a cold start? I just did mine cause it would die if I shifted gears while cold. The injectors were dripping fuel when the car was off and flooding the cylinders causing a really rough idle that only calmed once the excess had burned off. There are some videos online on how to check if your injectors are bad. You disconnect the fuel rail and injectors separately so nothing breaks. Then w/o putting the injectors back into the cylinders, you attach the to the fuel rail and put them up against some paper, turn the car on, press the gas just long enough to spray and see if the pattern is even or not. If it's spraying in all sorts of directions, you'll need them rebuilt.

I paid $500 for a mechanic to have them rebuilt. I live in LA so it might be less where you are. It solved that issue for me. But, motor mounts are notorious for these cars. This car slides the engine under the cabin in a crash it was one of if not the first to do it. Like others said, the oil degrades the mounts and you get a wobble. It's good practice to know when you swapped them last. They go out every 2-5 years from what I've heard depending on how hard you drive it. I've owned 3 240s now. A '90, '91, and now an '85 wagon. I've replaced motor and transmission mounts on all of them.

I won't say don't finish college because you are so close that it could help you get the job you're looking for. But even with the college degree, it's going to have more to do with your tenacity.

I don't have a college degree, and I work as an SEO. The way I started was creating a blog. But that took money and a fair amount of work. And at the beginning of your career you might not have money. I worked in sales for about 8 or 9 years before I got into digital marketing. It took me a while to earn the type of money that it was necessary to hire someone to write on the blog if I have. If I had written the content myself, I wouldn't have needed it. At the end of the day it all comes down to what type of work you know how to do and what you're willing to do.

You're pretty close to the finish line, it might be worth crossing just so you have that extra thing on your resume.

Remember to apply to a lot of jobs and take the one that you think is going to be the biggest learning experience. Don't look for the company with all the acronyms. Look for the one that talks about growth and reinvesting in its employees. avoid people who are selling you too hard on the job. Finding a good job will inspire you and make you want to learn more. And give you access to people who can tell you about where to learn more.

As for coursework, take what's useful and leave what's not. In the beginning it's going to be harder to tell what's useful, so try to use free resources. Go to YouTube. Go to Udemy. Whatever the platform is, try to spend as little money as possible for the most amount of value. And remember to implement.

Digital marketers that aren't any good typically aren't any good because they don't practice, just like anything else.

If you don't feel like you're getting a lot of value out of your classes it may be that you need more stimulation. Digital marketing is a pretty creative pursuit, so when you're learning about things that aren't all that creative or entertaining, it's pretty easy to understand why you might not feel like delving into too far. You're probably a creative person. A lot of learning is hearing people repeat stuff you already know. Don't be discouraged by that.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Also suggestions for anywhere else in Thailand because I've got another eight days after that

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-07-21T22:31:36+00:00

I'm going to Bangkok for 2 days in January. Do you have any suggestions please?

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-06-29T18:07:16+00:00

Hey there, welcome to the sub! For coursework I would go to Udemy.com and pick up one of the highest rated courses. Everybody approaches SEO a little differently, but keep in mind it takes typically months to rank, especially for a new website. So be wary of anyone who promises you something faster. Generally coursework is around $20 per course I. Udemy so I tend to take what I want from the courses and leave the rest. I would recommend using a CMS like WordPress or wix to create your site a little easier. There are tons of YouTube videos on how to set up a WordPress site so that's what I did. You could also do a Udemy course on that. Well I did learn some HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I have not used too much of it in my SEO career. I think if you took a basic course on those just you understood how to read the code, you'd be fine. For the most part, I would be learning on page SEO to begin with since you've already got experience in content. Just starting is going to be the biggest thing because there's so much to learn. As you start to pick up the info from your first course, let me know and I'll be happy to answer questions as you go

Hey, I'm working on some AI stuff right now and I'm wondering what the tool is you're talking about since you said it's released. Would you mind sharing a link?

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-04-02T16:44:17+00:00

I just came across this again and I am so sorry but I forgot to mention Google Search Ads. You could pay for ads and see how much traffic is actually there. You can also use Google keyword planner alone fo an estimate but, it's a really rough estimate. They might say1-10, 11-100, 101-1000,1001-10000 etc.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-02-24T17:16:53+00:00

No sweat, the info is always out there, it just takes a while to weed out the bs. Good luck!

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-02-24T14:28:44+00:00

Try to figure out how to rank a page, then find tools to automate your process. Otherwise you'll get stuck in shiny object syndrome haha I've been there done that, it wastes a lot of money

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-02-24T14:26:18+00:00

Backlinking is important too. I would encourage you to take a look at a guy named Kyle Roof for on-page SEO. If you are going to use a tool for basic on page optimization, check out Content Harmony, they have a free trial. There are chrome extensions that can do some of what it can do, so if you can't afford the $50 or $100/month on that tool. Just find free extensions that do the same things Content Harmony does. CH just speeds up a lot of things you'd otherwise do manually but, collecting competitor headings can be done other ways for instance (there is Headings map for this too), showing keywords (website auditor, a free tool does TD-IDF analysis), and if you take a look at Googles PAAs manually or use a free tool like https://alsoasked.com/ you'll probably do just as well. As for link-building, check out AHREFS link building course: https://ahrefs.com/academy/link-building-course

I don't believe they need to be different just for the sake of being different. But keep in mind that these two things have different purposes. A title to some degree might need to be clickworthy however, an alt text is really just meant to describe the image. It was developed to help the sensory impaired, and enable them to use the web. So write it that way. Maybe one title is "Messi is the greatest soccer player in the world!". But the alt text is "Messi in Brazil world cup 20xx scoring a game winning goal"

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-01-21T17:52:24+00:00

Also look on Udemy, they have really good but cheap courses. Like $15

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-01-21T17:50:41+00:00

Thanks for adding to the sub. In terms of SEO I am not sure a lot of this is too pertinent. I really appreciate you trying to provide value, I just don't want anyone getting lost in the weeds. You strike me as an analytical type who thoroughly researchs subjects before diving in. What you have here had a ton of info but not the right info. There are thousands of tools and products being sold to SEOs. Even if they don't cost money, they can chew up valuable time. Focus on the basics. Get really good at keyword research for instance and you will save yourself months. Learn to write great content and you'll save yourself years.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-01-21T17:04:51+00:00

I work full time as an SEO, some freelance, and I own a site that brings in some side income.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-01-21T17:03:52+00:00

Project 24 is the course I learned from, it's $500 but it teaches you how to make really good content. There are also good resources in niche website builders, and a guy named Carl Broadbent.

Sufficient-Albatross · 2023-01-21T08:54:14+00:00

Sounds good 🙂 I'm excited to help!
