car repair question
 

so my engine light came on the other day, took it in, they fixed it, but didnt bother to tell me why it broke in the first place, and why I needed it and what it does. so this is where i turn to GF1.

So I just got the invoice in the mail today about the repairs. Since I got an extended warrenty, All I would have to pay would be the $100 deductible. Now here is the funny part. THE LABOUR AND PARTS weren't even $100 worth. The cost came to $98. so that means I would still have to pay $100. so I spoke to the lady who did the paper work for me when I got my car. She did me a huge favour and some how got me outta paying for the repairs. I gave her a huge hand shake and thanked her.




Now here is what was wrong with my car. Can anyone tell me wtf this is. I dont know much about cars, BE GENTLE cry:

Your engine blew Paul Walker

It's obvious you're nav computer was busted.

yeah your vent solinoid was stuck open. They put a new one in. Unless yo uwanted ot rebuild the solinoid just say thanks. The vent opens as the engine performs a check, and then closes. When it opened as you started the car it didnt close.

[quote=Himmler]why?[/quote:6d466]well the way my steering wheel is positioned and how bunched up my keychain is with all my keys on it. sometimes when I started the ignition. I kinda shut the car off when the car was in the "starting to turn on" process. Ive done that a few times. that's only reason I can think of.

also, what would have happened if I just ignored it?

blown engine paul walker

stick to running around buildings and putting stickers on things.

I dont think that is the cause. IVe done that tons of times to my truck and a few to other cars. It still should have closed when you turned off the ignition. I think it was probably rusted or some electronic part fried in it.
