Dude can you just not type and go read the thread your annoying as fu€k!

Oh, I think I understand. It's always everybody else's fault.

I got the wrong part from Advance Auto Parts last week.
It could have been my fault for talking to the clerk?
It could have been a typo by the clerk?
It could have been the warehouse's fault for shipping the wrong part, but I didn't get my panties all up in a wad and start pointing fingers and berating people.

I just asked him to order me the correct valve cover gasket.

You trusted a parts sales person to diag your vehicle, first major mistake.take it to a shop with a competent technician

That's what I was told was needed to fix the error codes given by the scanner, that the incompetent advance auto parts Oompa Loompa lady told me.
You wanna ask why I believed her? : cause I thought she was more competent than that

That be like free mechanic service. lol

Why would you really think that the lady working at Advance would be more competent than that? I have never thought they would be competent mechanics.

•You wanna ask why I believed her? : cause I thought she was more competent than that
•She works there I don't... that's her job!
•I'm not a mechanic.
•you said go to advance

All are reasons why.
Any more question?

Do you also take legal advise from your barber?

2nd major mistake internet mechanics.
My scanner cost $3000
My overhead $40k a month
We call ourselves technicians now a days
My experience, priceless

Advance hires salespersons, not mechanics.
I don't seek legal advice from the sales clerks at Advance either. lol

Eh, If you work on cars then you have gotten the wrong part before.
There are several reasons for it.

Troubleshooting is learned. There are ways to check electrical parts and it looks like the OP is gaining experience. Let him get it geeze.
