Bringing my dad into the shop changed how I see this job
Everyone says to keep family far away from your work to avoid drama. I let my retired dad hang out while I was diagnosing a persistent turbo lag issue. His old stories about mechanical fixes from decades ago actually sparked the solution. Now I think shutting out family wisdom is a missed opportunity, don't you?

You mentioned shutting out family wisdom being a missed chance. What was the actual fix his story pointed you toward? I'm curious about those old mechanical fixes. Does that kind of hands-on, simple thinking just not get taught anymore, or do we ignore it because we have scanners now?

Actually, I didn't mention shutting out family wisdom, but I get why you're asking. The carb trick wren958 talked about shows simple mechanical know-how. That hands-on thinking still exists, but scanners make it easy to skip the old ways.
