    Words of wisdom Lol

    Well i get too work one day and my boss guy says my car is missfiring and there is some weird shi? pouring out of my coolant recovery tank. So i was thinkin uh oh this could be bad. Not too mention it was a ford. So i told him i would too take a look at during lunch.
    When i go outside too first hear it running indeed is was missing and the tank was leaking some type of orange stuff that just smelled foul. First i was thinkin head gasket but then i get too looking and he changed the coil pack and wires and just forgot to put a wire on. I was like umm theres your first problem.
    I then told him to stop by my house later that night so i could check out the head gasket issue and so he did, I was looking and ran a bunch of tests and for the life of me couldnt find a dam leak, i was so mad. "cant find one if its not there". So then im thinkin maybe the rad has an internal leak and it might be tranny fluid in the coolant but nope thats a dead end. Two weeks go by and he says ohh "i fixed it" i was like umm what did ya do? I washed out my resv. with water. I looked at him confused and he said yea the last time i used Dish soap and i guess i didnt rinse it.
    I just looked at him amazed and walked off.

    moral of story "friends dont let special people work on there own cars"

    dish soap? washing out a coolant reservoir? that is wrong in about 20 different cultures. why i must ask? jus flush your coolant every 30 k or approximately 2 yrs whatever comes first. how do you overlook something as obvious as a wire not connected? oh yeah on fords from 03 and newer they use gold coolant.
