Car question

[BigV]

I'm not being shitty to him. As for the joke, it went like this: tw (lots of lines of text followed by the words) random fact. I "got it" when I "read" "tw random fact", and not the stuff between those lines. It's a reference to his earlier post where he said to fix a rough idle, measure your gas mileage. That's nonsense.

I am really not being shitty to him, I'd love to solve this rough idling problem glatt's car has. I don't know everything there is about cars, and I love to learn new stuff. But unless tw has some magic trick he's still hiding, I don't see how his explanations achieve the desired result. If they do, that's freakin awesome because 1 -- problem solved and 2 -- I learn a new trick. If they don't, well, ok, fine, I already have a bunch of tricks that don't work.

I want him to explain his idea and show how it works. That's the beauty of working on machines (as I tried to explain several posts before) that machines don't need or are even susceptible to persuasion. I don't want to be persuaded that measuring the gas mileage will fix a rough idle, I want to be *shown how*. Maybe I can understand it, maybe not. But I haven't seen any explanation yet.

I was poking fun at tw's answers because they're freakin random.
