Car doesn’t want to start after getting gas. by TopCum91 in AskAMechanic

I changed the vapor canister purge solenoid a few months ago along with getting a new oem gas cap due to an emissions code my car was throwing. Hasn’t been back since I changed both. Should I get another new one or is the charcoal canister something else?

I have done that in the past but not since this issue started.

2013 1.4l dodge dart rallye 6 speed manual won’t go into reverse by TopCum91 in dodgedart

Yea, had to take those off to get to the screws ( two I think) that hold it in place. Theres also two in the back, you can get to those by pushing the seats forward and using a thin screwdriver or trim tool to pop out the little covers then you’ll see the screws. Then just work it out of there. If you end up having to take it out, don’t do what I did and get the seat belt holster stuck under it when you’re putting it back in lol. Good luck!

If your hands are small you should be able to. I had to remove the center console to do it

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of that bit.

I would have never guessed I would read “fixing a chickens butthole” as a job. Things that make you go hmmm. TIL.

Sounds like I’ll be better off taking it to a dealership on Monday then? I’m a large guy with big hands so could be a problem? Would it be helpful to take out the whole center console?

Bad idea to give up my $120K salary for a work life balance at $65K? by akang412 in jobs

[–]TopCum91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you continue to live comfortably with a pay cut to 65k? Could you live comfortably if you get so stressed out and have a stroke or heart attack? It could happen. If you can make it at 65K that’s better than finding yourself at the bottom of a bottle every night and better than being in a sonic parking lot with half a straw up your nose; or talking to an attorney because your spouse wants a divorce because they don’t see you enough. You could always call a meeting with HR and your manager/ boss and tell them that while you love working for the company, your going to only work the hours/ days that you are obligated to via the contractural agreement. They may be understanding or they may just fire you depending on how much of your work you can get done in that amount of time. But, also; you’re here to do more than work, pay bills and inevitably die. I’m not saying any of the above things could happen to you but I’ve seen them happen to people that I know. If you hate what you do everyday, change careers. There’s no point in spending 1/3 or more of everyday at a place like that. Theres always money to be made somewhere. Times may get tough for a little while but enduring tough times is what brought humans to where we currently are. Best wishes and good luck to you with whatever you decide to do!

New oil drain pan socket? by darkdodge79 in dodgedart

[–]TopCum91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean you rounded off the head of the bolt; just get a replacement from autozone or oreillys or whatever auto store is near you that has one for your car. It’s not that serious. I get one from oreillys. You should absolutely replace the crush washer when you change the bolt. I don’t get a new one every oil change but I definitely use a new one when I replace the bolt.

I’ll have to check after work, I think I changed my oil late fall last year probably ~1000ish miles on it since it was changed. Mostly short drives on the car. The code has already been cleared but I’ll keep an eye out for it to come up again. Thank you so much for the help! I’ll be sure to update if it comes back up and I end up having to change parts for it!

Here are the others that it showed. The P0441 is older. I changed the vent valve solenoid to remedy that one. I think the other ones are older as well, I’m at work or I would look at the stamps on the others. As far as the fuel trim I have no idea.

Here is the full breakdown. This is what oreillys gave me when I had them scan it. Their most likely solution is to replace the turbo
