dumb mechanics.

fixed the car today. i have been driving on a car that worked half for about 3 or 4 weeks now. finally today i got the time to look at it myself. after about 30min under the hood i found the issue, two plugs, right next to each other, used the same connector. he had the oil pressure sensor on the coolant sensor.....

he is suppose to be a honda genius. he did a swap, took him 2 weeks, and he had no idea what he was doing i believe. $65 per hour he charged. the car's engine has less miles on it then the car had when i bought it. it runs like a top now. never has it been so fast. i think i could smash the 135MPH i did with it when i first had it.

Is this one of those $45/hr guys?

$65 , i almost took it to the 40 per hour guy but he is in PA. the $40 per hour guy admitted to me he typically works just on fords, so again he might have needed my help doing it right.
the last time i was there i had to help him the second try to line the balance shafts up right. you would not believe how bad a car shakes when thoes are just one tooth off.

it was the busy season, that's why i had to use the truck, i had already committed to jobs before it broke. i really wanted to do it myself.
