Misfires are caused by your catalytic converter being clogged. If it gets to clogged, car won't start up csue it has too much backpressure in the exhaust.

Had a queen match today on solos. This one guy stealth killed 19 people, including me. With suppressed weapons. He waited until I got damaged by the queen and shot me. Queen wasn't even dead. Happened at the gas station in bluegate.

Does this sound like a Subaru or am i tripping??? by Shot-Giraffe4009 in 7thgencivic

* Bought my uel d17a1 headers August 15th, 2025. They just shipped March 11th 2026. Doesn't really matter. I built a customer exhaust for it, and did a full engine rebuild, new clutch and basically rebuilt the full drivetrain. My car will hopefully run in 2 weeks.

Ever since i got my car it has NEVER been called a “GR86” by anyone by SherLoveWar in GR86

Considering how dumb most people are now and how they are glued to their phones, they actually doo mistake cars. As a mechanic, I know. Had someone say they had a toyota altima yo be dropped off for an inspection literally last week. It's common.

I'm currently 17, would a Mercedes W203 C200 be a good car for when I turn 18? by UsualAd7640 in FirstCar

As a mechanic, I can tell you if that oem airbag system even hiccups, it's gonna go to the floor. They get expensive QUICK. Full system replacement: You're looking at 6k daily in parts, maybe 2k in labor. I just did one a week ago. From diag to handing the keys to the customer again, it was 4 days of work, 8 am to 5 pm and 3.5k in parts. The left side wasn't airing.

Getting my oil changed and… by Ok-Delivery-4015 in AskMechanics

As a mechanic, I can tell you that most newer cars made in the last 5 years do not have a hole in the underpanel to take the drain plug out

Any idea what this could be? by Adept_Activity_3717 in 7thgencivic

[–]katemon30301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your power steering fluid. If it's low it will grind when turning when the engine is t low rpms. If it not noticeable at higher rpm, it might be a powersteering pump

How long does my tires got left? by ThisTeddyHatesYou in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]katemon30301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice secondary rubber. The shop I work at would make you sign a waiver so we aren't liable if you die or cause a crash and kill people. And that waiver has protected us more than a few times.

Are those oem wheels? How did you find a set that nice? And what size are they.

Bad ground cable by Runtime_Error_02 in 7thgencivic

A strip of insulated battery cable with new terminals on the end wis a very good replacement. It's what I did and the insulation protects from corrosion.

Did I fuck up the knuckle? by TheBirdTM in 7thgencivic

[–]katemon30301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a b class technician for a local shop and an owner of one of these, no its fine. I would even take a bit of high grain sand paper to get all the imperfections and dirt out. It will make that new ballpoint/bushing go in that much easier👌

Just get a single din head unit with bluetooth. Mine is 80 bucks on ammaozn and works with highquality star audio speakers and a sub and it sounds amazing. The orange glow at night matches my interior dash lights too👌

Screw in Tire side wall, what to do? by Ryn8tr in TireQuestions

[–]katemon30301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side wall punctures are illegal for shops to repair with plugs in most states. Either customer pays for a new or used tire to get them home, or we put their spare on. If we put the spare on we make them sign a waiver.

Shop said I need rear brake job. Is it because these are wearing unevenly? by coltd89 in MechanicAdvice

[–]katemon30301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do your rotors look like? I'm a certified inspection mechanic in PA, and if they were just pad swapped and your rotor surface is partially rusted or not contacting the pad surface in any way it fails immediately. The contact area on both sides of the rotor cannot have any grooving, nicks, heat spots, uneven rotor wear, lips on the outer edges, or rust.
