I bought an e90 bmw 328 from this guy he was like the ecu has problems it’s been to multiple mechanics blah blah. It was the wheel speed sensors being dirty making the traction control go haywire. Fixed it by replacing one and blowing the other three off with the compressor. Made a nice flip on that one lolWhen I was turning magazine pages with no real wrench time as a teen, they always said "All these cars you have on posters, you're gonna hate em. You hate em if you love em." and oh yeah. One time I was really questioning my resolve when my 84 chevy had a flywheel/starter problem. I would get on my back in the slush in the winter to jam a shim between them and have it fly out the other side so the teeth grabbed. I went through 6 starters, 8 flywheels, several solenoids and hand rebuild combos to say "fuck this, put new OEM shit in and we're done". Goddamn thing worked perfect, it was like one bad flywheel aad two bad starters that fucked up 3 pro mechanics and me.
But yeah some of those old school mechanics “I don’t touch anything electrical” well everything is electrical so you’re useless lmao
