Every once in a while I mention that I think Murphy's Law needs to be changed to Lynne's Law. It strikes, yet again. Tuesday, the car died on Hubs when he was coming to pick me up. He just barely made it into the parking lot before it completely gave up. We had a tow truck come get it, and decided that we'd start looking for issues on Wednesday. We were attempting to check the fuel filter when we noticed that the hose that connects the air box into the intake manifold and mass air flow sensor and a huge crack in it. We had to go to the dealership to get the part because no auto parts store sells them. You'd think that such an important (and fairly simple) part would be available there, but no. So we replaced it. The car started!!! Yay! Then the knocking started. Damn. After doing some online research and finding videos on YouTube of the same knocking issue, we determined it was 1 of 3 things - a rod, piston or crankshaft problem....
Taking control of my life to become healthy and happy!
