Lol, I didn't catch that!
Yeah, this weather is super annoying to work on vehicles in. Supposedly gonna be 29 degrees tomorrow, so I'm gonna give it a shot. Ever since I've gotten this new job I just haven't been motivated to do $hit. Now I gotta study for the ACI test--concrete certification.
I was ACI certified for 10 years. Hate that test. If you have any questions, I'll more than happy to help. Biggest thing when you do the physical part of the test, if you miss a step, say you missed the step and do it. They'll likely not ding you since you caught the mistake. Idk if they still do the roll-a-meter test or not, but that was the one I hated the most. Heavy and awkward. Seems like the last guys that took it at my work said they didn't make them actually do it. They just asked for the steps involved. Hopefully it's the same for you

Thx Tyler. The part that sux is I know I'm not gonna stay there, or even stay in the industry--but I still need to take it. I read through 2 chapters of the handbook--it's boring to me, and they use alot of long winded terminology that isn't necessary. I'm in NJ, but they're going to send me to King of Prussia Pa to go take it--that's Paw Paw's(@89Suburban) neck of the woods.

Watch out for them mf’s in King of Prussia. They like to sneak attack ya when you’re not looking. If you meet up with Biff (@89Suburban) don’t let him hand you any drinks. Might be spiked and the next thing you know you’re the little spoon and big spoon is snoring in your ear

Swapped out the maf sensor with a used oem. I was hopeful, but no difference. Still sounds like it's kind of popping out of the exhaust. Still no cel. I didn't have time to look at the plugs. I also swapped out my idler arm, and idler arm bracket in my van. Not enough time in the day.....
