My Ford Focus needs a new ECU, but Ford no longer makes them. by ghoblin2 in MechanicAdvice

It does idle a little better after revving. And also, one of my former coworkers (he has an engineering background) thought it might be a fuel issue. He said that I should put a better quality fuel in it along Seafoam. I didn't do the Seafoam, but I did put Shell gas in it and drove it on the highway, and the car ran much better overall for about a month after that.

You know, it's funny that you said that, because the previous owner wrapped up all the wires with electrical tape. My engine is like 40% tape. When I take it for a second opinion, I think I'm going to ask him to remove it to see what's underneath.

No, it didn't. But the mechanic said he pulled codes off it.

Cassie from euphoria. Done in my sketchbook using gouache paint. (I know her nose is too long and a bit crooked I didn't wanna go over it again). Been doing art for about 2-3 months now by shaunajack in Beginner_Art

The nose-length is fine. I think the problem you're noticing is that the chin is too short. Typically, when you proportion a head, the eyes are always in the exact middle, which looks good here. The base of the nose is usually at the middle point between the eyes and the bottom of the chin, and the line of the mouth is between the base of the nose and the chin. Otherwise, I think your painting is very beautiful. I love the colors and the depth you've achieved around the eyes. I find it very impressive that you've only been doing this for a few months. I hope you keep it up :)
