i have a flat tire on my bike. got a workrack so i can work on it at home without getting on my hands and knees. threw out my back putting the bike on the rack this morning. gonna have a flat a little longer
Literaly happened to me tonight. I'm supposed to sell the car tomorrow. Peak comedy.
My bike is immune
I cast run over by self driving car
(Hope n ot)
Thar be what the 2nd is for
As long as its not flashing just run it.
Scary pumpkins
The oil pressure light is by far the scariest one.
100%. Check engine light can mean a bunch of pretty minor things. Oil pressure? Stop the car. Stop the car NOW. You’re gonna have to pay for a tow and repair, but if you don’t stop RIGHT NOW you’re going to need a new car. Or at least a new engine.
Literally opened this thread only to say this. Check engine light means the engine is doing something to increase emissions, up to and including misfires and such. Can be harmful but over a somewhat longer period of time than being out of oil.
My check engine light came on and freaked me out. Found out the code was P0171: Bank running lean. I currently have a mix of gas and E85 in the tank and the computer doesn't like it. Nothing is actually wrong.
Mines been on for years, I find comfort in it now.
Mine straight up burned out several years ago. Still runs and passes inspection. I ain't no coward.
I cast mend butt crack followed by diarrhea
I drive a Toyota, 
I have a Lexus and a Toyota, both 9 years old. Do they even have a check engine light? I hope so, because I forgot where the dealer is.
I drive an EV. I have no engine.
Engine and motor are synonyms. Broadly speaking, newer technology gets called motor to differentiate it from older technology.
See steam engine. Motor car. Etc.
And yeah, electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Love my EV.
(Sorry for being a pedant)
electric motors have fuck all to go wrong.
Tesla motors are infamous for burning out rotor bearings, coolant leaks and leaking coolant into electronics.
Infamous compared to what? I'm no fan of Tesla but electric motors are a LOT more reliable than IC motors.
Note that this is not the same as saying Tesla's cars are reliable..
Even electic motors have an optimal operating temp, but its not as detrimental to run outside it
I only have a bike. Completely immune.
Not immune to Ford trucks I tell you what.
Is that a threat?
Buy an OBD reader from China. They're cheap and allow you to read what is wrong with your car. Afterwards you can decide if you fix the issue yourself or let an expensive garage do it.
I got one, swapped a part myself, realized that wasn't it, went to my mechanic, and he fixed it just by guessing lol
But yea they are useful so you at least know the exact codes that you fixed
Your local library may also have one you can borrow if it has a library of things. It a pretty cool.
Got a OBD reader for 40 bucks and it takes a lot of the stress off. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t have one yet. You can look up the code, and usually that steers you to what part you need. Saves time, money, and stress.
Or you can also go to any auto parts store and they’ll do an OBD reading for you for free and give you a printout of the code.
Forty bucks is a ripoff. I got a Bluetooth one for like 10.
HA! Jeep drivers will tell you that light just means everything is functioning as normal.
My dog cast that today.
She had bloody poop and couldn’t stand.
So I’m here.
Waiting on a phone call from the emergency vet.
That sucks big time, emergency vet visits are always rough. Best of luck to you and your pup. Hope you can get in and get things figured out safe and quick.
Thank you. It looks like she’s going to be okay.
Ate one of those plastic cups that you put on chair legs to prevent it from scraping the floor. And a cat toy. But they could pull it out endoscopically.
She’s 15, and a big girl that’s already survived a softball sized tumor that caused her spleen to burst about 5 years ago. She’s a tough girl.
Glad to hear they could pull it out. We had a cat that had diabetes, and we had to use a pill shooter to administer one of her meds. Unfortunately, my wife did it one time and didn't notice that, in addition to the pill, the rubber tip came off and my cat swallowed it. I see it the next day, and by then she (cat, not wife) was ill, and it had moved into and lodged itself in her intestines. It was an incredibly rapid decline, so make sure we all get extra hugs in, you never know with these pets.
Oh, that’s so rough. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Had a car, that got like 5 yellow engine lights in 6 months... I had the car so I could get to work, in the end I had the work so I could pay for repairs on the car...
I cast bluetooth OBD clear codes... goodbye CO2 sensor code... until we meet again or I finally replace it.
I cast: Electrical tape over the fucking light 🖕🏻
These wizards are getting too overpowered.
me: wow some money left over, finally.
the steed:
Jokes on you, I already have one because my o2 sensor spacer isn't fooling the car anymore!
Joke's on you. The porch pirate that stole my replacement GPU ruined my day before you even got here!
If you own a used car or is getting ready to purchase one, buy yourself an obd2 scanner. You can avoid making a bad purchase or getting scammed by a mechanic when it is something you can easily fix yourself.
And if you are truly broke, you can at least determine if the check engine is something you should addressed immediately or wait a couple weeks.
