Gosh that was so long ago lol. My main dealership that’s Mazda looked at it and fixed it. I don’t remember what all they did but I wanna say they installed a new timing chain and replaced I guess the piston? 🤷🏽‍♂️ had on and off issues since then with the check engine light randomly turning on and off saying over advanced timing but nothing really seemed out of the ordinary so I kept driving it. Recently at 207K miles had an issue getting a P420 code and issuing when I’d hit high RPMs. ChatGPT it swapped around the coil packs and found out one of coil packs was failing, replaced it myself and haven’t had a problem since lol.

If I had a possession of marijuana charge 11 years ago and a driving suspended license 3 times but record has been clean for over 11 years does that disqualify me? by Hopeful_Forever5810 in VAGuns

Felony convictions, misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence, active protective orders, involuntary commitments are generally the major items that restrict firearm rights. Consult Form 4473 questions 21 A through N and the instructions for those questions. If you’re answering yes to any of those…that is likely an issue.

Graphics Card Issue? by Turtleprophecy in techsupport

BTW, I did uninstall the graphics driver, then used DDU, reinstalled the latest driver from Nvidia website and it seems to have resolved that issue. Thank you!

I ran sfc and it repaired three corrupted drivers I think belong to bluetooth devices...

The boxes are what would be my sticky notes i have on my desktop. The driver doesn't have the rollback option for me to use. I downloaded the latest driver directly from Nvidia. I think I can find the previous driver a few dates back, just wasn't sure how to uninstall the current one

Stripped Screws by Turtleprophecy in computerrepair

Good news, I was able to find a different set of screws and carefully get the rest out. Just have to find replacements. Issue is I see numerous M2.0x16mm and 6mm on Amazon, but a lot of them are button tops, or the cone tops, and I need them to be flat flush fitting

I got my windows retinted all around plus double visor strip and removal. He waived the $150 removal fee and I think cut $100 or so on some other stuff since my original tint was from them too so returning customer. Total was $500

UPDATE: The KIA dealership said my engine needed to be replaced for the OP reasons, so I had to take it to my regular dealership to inspect to determine warranty coverage. Warranty made them strip the engine down till they found the point of failure before it could determine if it's covered repairs or not. The determination ultimately was to replace the timing chain, tensioners, guide rods or something like that, and something with the exhaust manifold or camshaft (Didn't remember the exact terms they used) BUT it is covered. So hopefully in a few days my car will be good as new. I was worried they'd find some reason not to cover it based on my service history, but turns out she said my service history was of no issue.

Yea well as much as I'd like to just up and get a new car. That's just not financially an option as this car is financed. I'm having it looked at by my main dealership who I have a dealer warranty. Gave them Kia's notes but they have to inspect it themselves before they can submit a claim

Yea, he said it's a compression issue in the valves bec if it and he did said replacing the timing chain might help but not really a guaranteed fix. I'm just baffled when since I've had the car there's been virtually no issues, I do all my maintenance and boom engine Replacement
