Ah, Monica. Why?

I sense that Monica is upset with me. She mostly seems alright but now and then, goes all on and off and flashes malicious looks. I've done as much as I can for her right now. Oh, I know there's more to do in this relationship but a guy can only do so much at once and then there's the money issue.

Anyway, she's unhappy. I know it. Seems like about once a week she'll throw these codes at me. Like I'm supposed to know what all that crap means. Seriously. And now she's started to smell bad. <sigh>

So, what I've been doing is sticking that thing in her and resetting everything. What the hell is that thing called. . . oh, an OBD II reader. I talked to Dennis about it and he thinks the coil pack might be bad. We already rebuilt her engine and most of the time it runs like a top but now and then the cruise control will quit working and the check engine light will flash. I stick in the reader and it's usually cylinders 1 & 2 misfiring. Or cylinders 3 & 4 misfiring. The odd thing is it seems to run fine when the light goes on. But then it ran fine when the damn squirrels chewed up the plug wires too. And truly it's my fault she stinks, I could have cleaned the spilled oil off the headers better than I did when we pulled the engine. I dunno. I guess I'll get the coil pack.

If I think about it I'll let you know how she's doing after that. Maybe not. I'm gonna have a long talk with her about all this and see if she can tell me what's wrong. After all, listening is the most important part of keeping a good relationship good. So that's what I'll do. As for those damn squirrels, we're gonna have a talk about personal space and chewing on stuff that's not yours.

Cheers.
