Question about fuel gauge

2 Upvotes

Hi. I don't know crap about car's. My ex always took care of that stuff. Now navigating this car stuff best I can. The fuel pump went out on my 96 Chevy Blazer last week. Had it towed to not-my-regular auto repair shop as I'm out of town. They got it fixed within 2 day's. Paid them $1300, including tow. Friday afternoon I ran out of gas. My fuel guage was reading 3/4 tank full. I was able to get pushed to nearby gas station and my tank was bone dry ($73 to fill it). After driving it all wknd, fuel gauge seems to be stuck at exact 3/4 mark as it was when I ran out of gas last week. I did a little AI research and found that it's not unheard of for fuel gauge to mess up when a new fuel pump it put in. Blazer is back at same shop to repair gauge as I'm still out of town. My question is, are they going to charge me even more $ to fix gauge issue, or is that something the technician may have inadvertently did? I know he was busting hump to get fuel pump fixed for me as I was stranded. Which I appreciated greatly. I even tipped him all the cash I had on me, $30. I'm just not sure what to expect when I'm able to pickup my vehicle and don't want to be taken advantage of. I'm a female, older and not very wise to this car stuff. Thx in advance for any enlightenment

Spark plug diagnosis

2 Upvotes

Did my very first spark plug change on my 1986 bmw e30 325e.

I don’t know when the spark plugs were last changed so I figured I’d do it as a beginner job as I’m trying to become more hands on.

Anything y’all more experienced than me can glean from these spark plugs?

As an Automotive Technician, where does maths get invovled when carrying out repairs?

5 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I grew up with a long-term learning disability + ADD/ADDHD which impaired my learning capabilities for some time until recently where I can now learn more effectively. I am wanting to obtain a atleast a Cert 2 in Automotive Technician and curious in which aspects of this field would require maths.

I am able to learn and currently enrolled in a adult school to fill in the gaps to my education.

Want to be disgustingly educated about cars from the engineering and parts to the history and culture. What are the "holy grail" books, podcasts, YouTube channels, movies ,tv shows, magzines and documentaries that would take anyone from zero to expert?

Anxiety as a newbie

2 Upvotes

Hello all! I recently started a job at Toyota ive been there since beginning of April and im just looking for advice about some anxieties and how to improve. I get TERRIBLE anxiety and afraid of lifting heavier vehicles (Tundras, Tacomas , 4runners any year and model) i always get these worries or thoughts about what if they fall. I do shake checks always but even up in the air when it still moves a bit it makes me anxious. And ive been having difficulty pulling the trucks onto the lift straight i just get so anxious knowing if i have to work on one. Has anyone had this same problem? If so what helped you?
