On the positive side, I enjoy how "just leave it alone for a while and it'll fix itself" is a viable approach for smaller issues.

Old joke, but some may not have heard it yet. Three engineers were arguing about which kind of engineer designed the human body. The electrical engineer pointed to the nervous system's complexity and design. The mechanical engineer argued for the interaction of bones, joints and muscle as well as their self-healing capability. The civil engineer won the argument by saying "who else but a civil engineer would run a waste pipe through a recreational area?" redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Feb 19, 2019 |

I started the day with a flashing check engine light and a nasty miss, it was running fine and the CEL was off with no stored codes by the time I got home. Very much a "keep your secrets" moment.

I got an intermittent flashing check engine light and severe misfire on a 99 Camry V6 I had once. Turns out this was the igniter taking a dump. The 1MZ-FE engine in that year model was a sort of half coil on plug setup and I think it was cylinders 1 and 4 were on 1 coil, and the channel in the igniter for those cylinders took a while to crap out completely. Just going down the road and all of a sudden Oh god what the gently caress~! Then after a minute or two it'd go back to being totally normal. Most places I looked the igniter was hilariously expensive, but I managed to find a part number matching igniter on eBay from a 2001 (?) Solara that fit and worked. The ignition setup on that engine looked like this:  Made changing the rear plugs less impossible at least.

Someone has lost a load before. Erring on the side of paranoia. I don’t understand the purpose of the orange strap though.

When you tie a motorcycle onto a trailer or a flatbed you're supposed to compress the suspension, because otherwise it might compress on its own when you go over a bump, causing the cords/straps (which are supposed to be attached to the frame) to loosen up. My guess is that he's just cargo-culting that idea.

Not just a springer, but the most horrible kind of springer that puts the shock under bending load! That chain is doing nothing, I also don't think a bike axle can handle the load but eh

That design is the result of a loving retard looking at an actual decent springer fork and making their own; nobody's built something like that on purpose expecting it to be any good since like the 30's.
