I am not an old fart or anything, but I have been on this planet for a few decades.
Once you have spent some time here on the planet of the earthlings, you get used to some things being the case no matter what. I mean, you don't wake up in the middle of the night in a vacuum unable to breath or even cough. When I was learning how to get a dead car going, they told me, "Check for fuel, compression, and ignition if the car won't start. You can count on air."
from a conversation at the gas station: a 1972 Coupe deVille owner popped the hood.
I am not saying that my focus will be cars. Just that some things are changing in our world, things that we have always counted as being foundations of reality. I hope to present the old and new realities with commentary as I go.
Okay. Some of you are saying that there is more to making a car go that what I listed. True. There is fuel timing, ignition timing, valve timing and all the things that go along with the three that I mentioned. Then there are other factors like whether or not the starter is cranking. But then again, if the starter were not doing anything, you would not begin with fuel and spark either.
There are changes in the world related to cars though.
You could have all the above requirements and still be stuck if the onboard computer is out of wack.
Computers are great for fuel efficiency or even for knocking seconds off your time at the strip, but the added complexity could leave you hanging if something goes a half a volt outof range in the computer, maybe a sensor that gets oil soaked and stops sending a signal.
That is all I have for my first one. I always think of things that seem strange or out of the ordinary and I will be writing about then here. I hope to see you then.
