But enough getting on you about your horrible typing skills. Apparently you think I'm some kind of shade tree backyard mechanic who has no idea what I'm doing. You must think this because I came on a forum to ask a question, about a car I haven't worked on. The fact of the matter is this, I'm an ASE Master Certified Tech, and you sir, are simply put, a dick. My motto, is work smarter, not harder. This doesn't make me lazy, or stupid, but instead makes me money. I came on here, hoping that someone else possibly had this problem with the same car, and could quickly and easily tell me exactly what they had done to remedy the situation.

Instead what I got was a bunch of people who most likely didn't read anything I was writing, and were spouting off random fixes. Some people did read it, and gave some good feedback. I'm not putting down anyone that helped me, but most of it was rubbish. The fact that I kept posting doesn't mean i'm making stuff up, or guessing, but giving more information, etc. You know, what a frigging forum is for. It's too bad we don't all have mechanics like you living next door that can fix any problem, any time, in only a few short minutes.

As stated in my original post, I don't live where the car is. I have very little time to look at, diagnose, or work on it. I work a full time job, own a house, am getting married, and have a lot of stuff going on, so coming on the forum to ask a simple question was my quickest way to do a quick diagnosis.

Finally, don't talk down to me, or anyone else on this forum. You might think you know everything about any car, but that doesn't mean that others don't know anything. The point of a forum (clearly you missed this) is for people to help and talk to other people who have similar interests and/or problems. You seem to think its your place to be a big man and talk down to people and attempt to make them feel stupid, because you're probably some douche who sits around unemployed on his computer all day. You are not the end-all, be-all of the car world, so get the hell off your high horse, and check yourself.
Cursing on this forum is a VIOLATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my typing skills are still better then your mechanical skills !!!! And my car runs ! Did you notice i didn't say one curse word to you ? Master ASE TECH ? BWHAHAHAHA NO WAY !

This thread is locked. Please sort out your problems privately.
I will not hesitate to lock threads that degenerate like this if it happens again, so please consider that.
I'm leaving the thread visible and locked. Perhaps in a few days you both can calm down a little, go back over it and have a rational look at it.
