Car: April 2007 Archives

   I suppose it was inevitable that I would come to the conclusion that I simple lack the abilities to fix my Mustang. I realized that today when I was out emptying the oil seperator on the PCV line. I have to empty it out even if I only take a short 5 minute or so drive.
   It isn't that which angers me. It's the fact that emptying it out doesn't really make a difference. It might add a delay, at the most, till the oil flows freely again.
   Why this worries me all of a sudden is because the engine knock has been getting progressively worse. The knock was something you just happened to hear every now and then, at first. Now it is constant during acceleration, once the car is warmed up (doesn't take very long).
   I don't want to give up hope. I believe that I will eventually get around to fixing it. At the moment, though, I simple lack the knowledge or necessary equipment to do anything at all about it. The situation does seem hopeless to me sometimes.
   On the bright side, I plan on taking it by a reliable shop somewhere to let them take care of it. Once I get a job and some money, that is.
