It's a question of whether the car runs or not, DOWN HERE. Up there, a Sikorsky can cargo lift a car from Fumbuck North Dakota to a dealer. I guess this discussion hinges totally on whether or not a person can dash down to the corner and pay 50,000 pesos for a specialty device to repair a car that has spent 100,000 miles jumping from pothole to pothole.
Owner repairable. I have a Spirit that NO ONE can diagnose why the thermal switch on the radiator fan is defective. Yeah, six USA shops replaced relays, harnesses, connectors, sensors, the ECU. The whole freakin' enchilada with no success. Multiples of sensors. Multiples of ECU. No fan. Code? We don't got no steenking code on any OBD and the car is old enough to vote. The Dodge dealer in the USA had the car for 200 dollars and came up with zip.
So I am SUBSTITUTING an electronic thermal control system.
I love to see CPU alternator voltage regulator control. If the gauge had a needle the wear and tear would have had it falling off and falling to the bottom of the case. It hunts more than Davy Crockett ever did. They all do. Show me, PLEASE, a CPU an ECU voltage regulator that is STABLE.
Computers are fine. Computers have limits. Some of the limits have been exceeded by a laughable degree. Why does my car HAVE TO FREAKIN' GO OPEN LOOP, lose 4th gear, have loose bowels in the electronic fuel injection department, meaning lose 20% fuel economy if a steenking voltage regulator or alternator stops charging? This is insane grade engineering. Dunce cap mentality. And newer cars are WORSE. Computers are fine. Engineering while stoned isn't...
