At least, not when you own an older Chevy.<\/p>\n
You’ll remember the last car-related post where I mentioned that it blew the replacement alternator? Well, I found another problem that may have been caused by or the cause of said malady.<\/p>\n
It seems the low-to-midrange acceleration in my car went to hell last week. The ignition would cut out for a second, unless I was A.) moving at a steady speed, B.) accelerating very carefully or C.) punching it to the floor. Definitely not conducive to happy driving or fuel economy. So, I swung in to Tolerant’s bro-in-law’s garage, and he diagnosed it as a faulty ECM unit.<\/p>\n
That’s right, the fekking computer<\/em> crapped out on me. Good news: easy to replace, actual plug-and-play equipment. Bad news: just as expensive as the alternator. If I could lay my hands on a copy of the schematics, I’d try and fix the computer instead of replacing it.<\/p>\n I’ve only driven it around the block so far tonight, but it seems to have done the trick nicely. I love the ten-minute fixes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At least, not when you own an older Chevy.
