It was a coil pack/spark plug issue.

Not exactly sure what you’re trying to start (if anything)…

But…

I’m sorry for wanting to save myself money and trying to do shit myself, instead of paying someone like you (a ‘professional mechanic’) who’d _might_ take me to cleaner for something as simple as a spark plug install. We’ve all heard the stories of people getting charged ridiculous amounts of money for something simple.

I happened to not tighten the plugs all the way last time. I am human.

What business is it to you anyway? I fixed the last problem (P0171 - hasn’t been lit in a couple weeks now) without going to you for help, I’m pretty sure I can handle fixing anything else with time (this issue). This isn’t the first time you’ve posted something like that, insinuating who knows what.

Relax, we’re not all as perfect as you when it comes to working on cars. I’m learning. One day, I pray, I will be able to do even the most complex job with the ease of which you do it.

Hate to be an ass but seriously man…was your comment necessary?
