  • I got one from Walmart for $50 that allowed for a phone app to record while I was driving home. Coolant hung from 174-184 (F), and it’s the upstream O2 sensor that is showing issues. Specifically running lean, never getting over .065v and reading 0 several times at idle, which was also about 20 rpm low sitting at roughly 685 instead of 700.

    So googling tells me it could be:

    • Vacuum leak at the throttle body (the common reason)
    • Dirty MAP sensor
    • Old O2 sensor
    • Exhaust leak
    • Weak fuel pump
    • Dirty fuel injection
    • Restricted fuel line

    Only the first 3 really seem likely so I’ll probably start with those and reply to this thread generally once I have a final fix. Thankfully none seem all that major.


  • It’s a very basic code reader and only had stats listed as “ready” or “not ready.” the O2 sensor heater monitor (device says HO2S) says ready but the O2 sensor says “not ready.” I’ll see if the coolant seems to be heating up this am and try reseating the cable for the O2 sensor and if the radiator hoses heat up probably focus on the O2 sensor first if the light comes back on. Worst case I get an actually decent obd2 scanner!


  • I would need a better scanner unfortunately, relooking at the manual mine will only say if a device is reporting. O2 is listing as “not ready” but there is nothing for coolant. I’ll check the connection on the O2 sensor and clean the housing this am and drive for a bit and feel the radiator hose and see what I can find.

    The court records and driving histories reveal a state so concerned with people having access to motor vehicles for work and life that it allows deadly drivers to share our roads despite the cost. Officials may call driving a privilege, but they treat it as a right — often failing to take drivers’ licenses even after they kill someone on the road.

    With little to no mass transit in most of the country these people would often become impoverished and or essentially wards of the state so this is not surprising.

    We found nearly 40% of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 have a valid license.

    I honestly figured this would be higher. I don’t expect anything to change as long as this country is intensely car focused for transportation though.




  • Offhand anecdotes here as I only have Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook.

    That said the error post update is likely just a service that didn’t restart properly. Many of these are not necessarily critical, does it say what program crashed? A reboot would guarantee a fix here.

    Unfortunately the issues with apps might be the snap packaging, this does slow apps down a bit which could cause pretty much all the remaining issues. I haven’t personally used it but might look up flatpak as a replacement and see if that helps. If others don’t explain how to do this I will try to come edit this later with an explainer or link or something to help.
