I still think you should look into something else that you need less risky and/or less capital intensive

No more oil change confusion. We put this in your car with each oil change. It tells you when your next change is due and what to put in your car.

So when is it going to be in stock? And about these interchanges, what are they, and what are their prices? Thanks!
We don't stock Bosch filters unless it's ordered by a customer. To many cost effective options. What year and model?

YOU DO NOT START A BUSINESS YOU HAVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE IN AND ZERO EXPERIENCE. especially when it is a high risk/high capital one.

What areas do you know about? Maybe we can brainstorm something else for you.

That's been discussed at length before on the forum. Recently here by gazzuzz too if I remember correctly.

What an estimate for catalytic converter replace
And how does the part exchange work.
I meant without taking the car physically to eliminate the catalytic converter as the problem you would have to do trial an error first by replacing the sensors since it's the cheaper option

Madam radautoworks,
I scanned my car today and my TP Sensor showed 12.9% on idle. Does this mean that this sensor is faulty because i read online that it shouldn't be more than 5% at idle.
Car is Hyundai Elantra 2008.
PS. I get rough idling at startup for about 20 seconds then engine stabilizes.
Yes, faulty sensor.

GAZZUZZ:
Sensors are working Fine. Replace Catalytic converter.
That's worst case scenario. That's why was recommending downstream sensor first if he didn't want to go for proper diag.

Pontiac vibe 2005.


Scanner found error P0420
Could be just the oxygen sensor so replace downstream or both first. This is why we don't do remote diagnoses because we can't confirm and you may end up doing parts exchange.

GAZZUZZ:
what would you do differently that would be inexpensive?
That right there is the problem. Relatively inexpensive, yes. Inexpensive, no. Sometimes the "nigga-rig" is more expensive and time consuming than the standard option. The thread is gathering a lot of attention though so carry on.

Of course we do. That's not something we are willing to reach but there are one or two other basic videos about hybrids I can share when Gazzuzz is done.
