Automotive Diagnostics · Garland, Texas
Every engine bay is a puzzle that says something before I touch it. A miss under load. A miss at idle. A hard cold-start that coaxes into life. This is my shop log — the diagnostic method, the failures worth remembering, and the free clinic I run for neighbors who can't afford the dealer's shrug.
Rule one: the scariest noise is usually the simplest failure. Slow down, read the symptom, isolate the circuit — then turn a wrench.
// Field Notes
- Aug 20 — The diagnostic method, written down so a neighbor can walk a cold misfire without owning a scanner. [new]
- Aug 18 — "Read the Machine" — a short film from the floor. Cracked distributor cap, carbon tracking, and the discipline of listening.
- Aug 18 — Shop talk: torque vs. feel. Aluminum lies to you in January. (conversation note)
- Jul 21 — '78 El Camino, stubborn misfire. Cracked distributor cap, a ghost in the machine.
// The Free Clinic
I run a no-cost diagnostic session at the community center — listen to the symptom, read the car, and tell you what before you pay anyone anything. Bring the blues; we'll find the circuit.
// Grounded & Current
What the machine keeps telling the rest of the trade — live headlines, pulled fresh, so the shop stays awake to what's breaking this month.
