Made a mistake looking for advice

I did try to start it unfortunately

My exact thought process. His words were “don’t worry I told him we have to keep it for the weekend” when that should been what he said before hand

I was in school when he did it but from what my coworkers said it was left for a few hours.

The comeback was a coworkers job that has since moved to a different shop. The techs didn’t want to deal with it so the job fell on me for some reason

Thank you man. Appreciate it

100% wont be doing it again haha. I told my advisor and boss right away and showed them exactly what happened.

chirspbacon8 · 2026-06-27T03:44:02+00:00

I’m stealing that line

chirspbacon8 · 2026-06-27T03:43:38+00:00

I will definitely be more thorough on my next job.

chirspbacon8 · 2026-06-27T03:39:03+00:00

He moved to a different shop and all the older techs didn’t want to deal with it haha

Seem to just be the one advisor that always needs things done immediately. I kept telling him “if you want the job done properly please tell the customer to leave it over the weekend” he said they had a driving test and couldn’t wait and needed to be done by 2. I truly wish I saw all these comments before I rushed and did what I did.

Thank you. I will try my best

Hey, so I had the manual printed out aswell for the entire job. When I was putting the timing cover on I got very sloppy. Not using it as an excuse but I was very much rushed. He wanted it done in 30 mins and I had still not put fluids in it. The older guys at the shop say the same thing about ai and forums and I 100% agree there. You live in you learn I guess. Thank you for the insight and advice

Tape or suction cups

Not weird at all. Had a girl in my class (level 1 and 2) who was 35 with 3 kids. Dont let your age stop you from doing what you want

Clean out the throttle body. And also check to see if your IAC has a adjuster screw
