Work is pretty bog standard today. Been putzing around slowly going through SQL tutorials.

Trying to get my car to pass all it’s DMV inspections today. I dropped it off at an auto place near where I work this morning; and they are looking at it now-ish.

This is usually a bit of an elaborate dance with my car. Even though everything related to the O2 and Mass AirFlow systems has been replaced multiple times, the computer intermittently throws errors about the oxygen/fuel mix. Its an error which might not be real. Getting it to pass inspection usually means getting it to an inspection station while it’s behaving.

(Hypothetically a $2000 dollar rewiring job on my car might solve the problem; but it can’t be guaranteed even at that price. My car is otherwise not symptomatic of any issue and is otherwise a decent car.)

This year I invested in a $10 OBDII bluetooth adapter, and ive used that in conjunction with my phone to try and predict when my car is bheaving, before I dropped it off for inspection.
