Thanks!
I straightened the core support some more and tried to reassemble everything, but the pieces still don't line up, and when I pushed them together and tried to fasten the bolt I seemed to mess up the bolt and bolt hole twice.
The crazy thing is the second time was on the good side, and just connected the intake.
The plastic intake lined up with the bolt hole, so what did I do wrong?
Hopefully a thread chaser will remedy this.
I found my spill-proof funnel and am watching my car dink deadly Mountain Dew.
Arguably I should top off the transmission, too, although I am not too worried about driving 1.5 miles.
On the other hand, do I need more transmission problems?
I am supposed to make that hour commute tomorrow. I haven't made any progress with my Accord, but I can move it to the driveway once I drop off my Camry at the shop!
The friend who pointed out that I wouldn't have gotten in a wreck in this car had I just stayed home didn't see the problem with borrowing Mom's car for 5.5 hours.
The families of 3 clients agreed to reschedule, but one then dropped me, claiming I was inconsistent.
Had they said "Come now or we will drop you" I would have borrowed Mom's car or even tried to rent one, but as usual they acted like everything was okay and then dropped me without warning.
The sad thing I don't think anyone else sees clients there, so they decided to discontinue all speech therapy.
In order to see those 2 clients I need to drive up, see a teleclient from my car, and then see those clients before driving home.
Do I ask Mom to borrow her car for 5 hours?
Do I top off the ATF, reinstall the headlight, install the splash shields from the junkyard, and drive this car?
Do I do something else?
The last time I tried to drive this car out there my splash shields suddenly detached on the highway and my clients had coronavirus.
The last time I drove my Accord she died.
I could drop off my Toyota when crazy J opens his shop, but if I drive her tomorrow I cannot drop off my car until Friday.
