[05:58] DaemonFC But that caused a huge pain in the ass. [05:59] DaemonFC Because the fuel injectors sent a bunch of fuel down in the cylinders that didn't get burned properly, which ended up exploding in the muffler. ● May 08 [06:08] DaemonFC A traveling salesman's car broke down in the country, and he ended up at a farmer's house. The farmer said, "You can sleep out in the barn. There's three holes in the wall. You can use the first two, but don't go anywhere near that third one, or my daughters."

[06:10] DaemonFC The US doesn't like the monster it made in China. [06:11] DaemonFC But it doesn't want to force US companies to hire Americans, because it would mean paying them and following workplace safety and environmental laws. [06:11] DaemonFC So it opens up other third world hellholes for cheap labor with suicide nets and smog so thick you can cut it with a knife. (India and Vietnam most notably.) [06:12] DaemonFC Since Walmart is the fourth branch of the US government, I suspect this will pass. [06:13] bagiraX what if we just sent our poor to those places [06:14] DaemonFC Hillary Clinton was asked what she did to improve the working conditions at Walmart when she was on its board of directors in the 90s, couldn't name a single thing. That was during the Kathy Lee Gifford Handbag debacle that most people didn't pay attention to. [06:14] DaemonFC We ought to send the idle rich there and strip them of their money and assets on the way out. [06:14] DaemonFC Then make workplace unionization mandatory. [06:15] DaemonFC I really hope the car doesn't backfire more because if it does, I get to go back out there, pull everything apart, unplug the ignition coils, replace the ignition control module, plug the coils into the new one, and try again. [06:16] DaemonFC It *can* happen that only part of the ICM fails. [06:16] DaemonFC In that case you can get symptoms like a failed coil pack. But they won't resolve by replacing the coil pack that drives those cylinders. [06:17] DaemonFC Quite often the car will be running on 4 cylinders and unaware that it's even backfiring. [06:19] DaemonFC I seriously doubt fuel injector, because it wouldn't be two cylinders at the same time. [06:19] DaemonFC Thankfully, this care predates coil on plug, so it runs two plugs per coil. [06:19] DaemonFC So if a coil pack dies, you start getting problems in two cylinders operated by that pack. [06:20] DaemonFC And to replace is, you just pull the coil off the module and bolt another one in and hook up the spark plug wires to the plugs for the correct cylinders. [06:21] DaemonFC From top to bottom, it's 3-6-2-5-1-4. [06:22] DaemonFC On the 3100 V6, it's 1-4-6-3-2-5, but in some cars that engine was mounted backwards due to lack of engine bay space, so they could mount the transmission, such as in the L platform. [06:23] DaemonFC So if you aren't careful, it's easy to hook them up in the reverse order and run the engine backwards. :P [06:24] *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:24] *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #techrights [06:25] DaemonFC I ran into that when I was 20 years old because of an incorrect entry in the Haynes repair manual.
