I went down the rabbit hole with my wife car

[SongDog]

Is there a fuse box under the hood?

My one truck the fuse box got all corroded and it started throwing all these wierd codes, truck ran like crap.

Fuse box was all green, corroded, Put a new one in and it all went away.

Just recently went through it with my wife’s Subaru Outback. Was a great car until about 130,000 km when the transmission went. Replaced it under warranty but then it was one thing after another, sensors that I didn’t even know existed, one after the other every week, fuel lines, radiator , head gasket and finally the transmission again at 190,000 km.
At that point I felt like driving it off a cliff but just cut the losses and got her a Chevy Malibu.

A worn timing belt may cause the cam(s) to go out out a few degrees.

Isn’t it wonderful how they have computerized cars. Once upon a time, if a car wouldn’t start you could trace things back to three factors, it wasn’t getting air, fuel, or spark. Now when a motor light flashes on and codes show, it raises a level of concern. At which point, you are left to trace problems back through a half dozen sensors to eventually find out, you didn’t screw down the gas cap tight enough. Sometimes it’s enough to send you back to pedaling a bicycle.

If your going to get another car then you can take your time figuring out what is wrong with this car - instead of getting rid of it try fixing it - there's a guy on the net - Joe electronic schematics for auto - he really gives a good approach on finding what isn't working right - plus there are a lot of good mechanics on you tube to help you with your search - take your time your not in any hurry - good luck

That sucks. I had something similar happen to me a while back on a pickup. Next time a major component fails I’m getting rid of the vehicle right away.

I stopped using backyard mechanics awhile back, sometimes it’s cheaper in the long run bringing it to the dealer. I bought enough from them I know the service manager really good. He always tells me if it’s a easy fix I can do myself.
