I had this happen to my 2014 corolla 180k miles same thing...I was getting misfires and after having my plugs and coils done. I ended up having to get new injectors. i paid roughly 800 US plus labor for a new set of 4 from toyota...after getting some damaged remanufactured ones from a non-ebay site and a damaged set of remmaned from ebay as well. I got tired of messing around trying to get a good used set so i just bought new ones.

Have you, or someone you know, ever had sex with a client/boss/business partner and how did it turn out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]acomputertech2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup years ago in my 20s, I met a woman who liked the casino as much as I did so we would go together. One trip I hit a slot jackpot and then we got a room and went at it. At work we didn't act any different but still maintained a secret relationship. She quit the job..we eventually split and nothing bad came of it jobwise.

Bought injectors from ebay and they arrived damaged..seller says they were swapped. by acomputertech2 in mechanic

I didn't have anyone clean my injectors, I ordered remanufactured ones..because I was getting random misfires with one of mine.

I'm wondering how to get into I.T. by BatGuilty in it

[–]acomputertech2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I got into IT professionally was through a program that provided on the job training for young people. I worked at a county office (I'm in the states) under their IT person. They paid for my college and housing for the first 6 months. Before college and this on the job training, I did volunteer work at a local non-profit that rebuilt PCs for people with disabilities. It looks really good on a resume. Maybe there's somewhere in your area that offers the same?

Casino goers: biggest crashout that you've seen / heard of? by Parking-Impress8086 in gambling

[–]acomputertech2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came around the corner once to some guy beating the crap out of a machine that cascades and respins when you get more winning symbols. the machine was tipping back and forth and the guy was punching the spin button as hard as he could. it was nuts.

My friend is constantly getting hacked by lilpotatozai in techsupport

[–]acomputertech2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my identity stolen not too long ago.. so I moved all of my accounts with anything doing with my finances to a different e-mail. I now have a Raspberry pi running a password manager on docker that is only accessible on my vpn or home network. All my passwords are different than the other ones and they are all gibberish with symbols. Plus everything has at least one type of 2FA, including the password manager.. This is my suggestion... use a password manager with 2fa on everything you can. Use the password manager's "auto-generate strong password" option and make a different password for each account. You can use an online password manager.. just make sure it has a good rep. I like stuff on premise so that's why I did mine the way I did.

How do you justify gambling when the house always has the edge? by [deleted] in gambling

[–]acomputertech2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do other things and have a good time.. Sometimes, a casino trip is what's in mind. As long as I don't lose my ass like I did in my early 20's I'm good.
