'All, et al,

I started to post the picture of a  wild goose...   a wild goose running, no,a wild goose being chased,  but decided to not waste the bandwidth.  When someone asks for help, it sounds like there is a need to specifically ask them "what work was done before the the problem arose?  What was removed, replaced, bypassed, cleaned, oiled, painted, submerged, stolen, fondled, carpeted, wallpapered, fried, sauteed, fricasseed, title pawned, glued, degreased, loaned and not returned, dry rotted, waterlogged,do you have the washer/dryer option, Koni shocks, Bluetooth commode, etc" before attempting to offer troubleshooting advice.  Ambiguous, semi coherent questions that obviously have not been proofread for clarity should be a red flag that there is a deep, deep rabbit hole lurking ahead.
Or is it just me?

'Bob,

Sounds like that wild goose drank some of your coffee, or is it Irish coffee?

How did you make out with your hydroboost issues?

'John, Bob, Leon, John hit the nail on the head.Bob good analysis of noting it’s the little things that can make all the difference. Leon, this is a great group & your experience will now be able to help others. And the lessons learned and noted by John are frustrating lessons of helping our fella man but often doing so with limited info. In a ‘lifetime’ of being a troubleshooter at sea and at shore it wasn’t uncommon for the last item to be replaced or worked on to have been the culprit in future failures. And the cost of repair did not always correlate to significance of quality assistance.When troubleshooting and or calling for tech support providing as big a picture as possible is immensely helpful. Communicating is often frustrating when we our frustrated. So taking a step back and making some notes and trying to figure out ‘from the beginning’ is vital.My hats off to all who take the time to help others with their issues. Y’all keep up the effort, great work, and have a toast of your favorite beverage knowing you make a difference.R/Willie, Connie is ‘95 Continental, 8.3L, Ally 6spd
