However, even though all engines work off the same basic principles the way they go about it is always vastly different and each and every different engine works with different designs of the same basic design and different little parts that do different little things, unique, unique unique etc. With each car you look for different culprits first from the evidence, like a Sherlock Holmes each of us must get familiar with our cars. Just like everything else that we live with in our lives in every area.
Enough pontification. The answer is that once you get a collected aggregate of information on this car or any car it then becomes much easier to figure out the particular problem, that of course is why all of us follow everything that comes up on the board. The more exposure the more knowledge about these cars and how to properly care for them. We all know that, but it's just so frustrating for me because I bought such a nice car that hardly anything has gone wrong with it except the steering under the dash and the rear brakes. Everything else on my car refuses to go bad and it just keeps running like a dream. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I am glad it runs so great, but I am frustrated that I don't know many of the particulars and the little quirks and truths that are unique to these cars only that we usually don't learn except by doing or listening and talking as we do here. I just wish that someone who is a good mechanic would give us a rundown on which parts can cause this problem with the killing of 1/2 of the engine, like "It could be this or that or that or that or that! Thats all, only one of those 5 things. Here is how you check each one and here are the tools that you need. Easy to share this knowledge if you have it. Very Hard to discover if you don't have the information or experience. Oh well, on with the process.
