Diagnosis problem solving

#1 rule, when in doubt, recheck work. If the vehicle ran fine or has a new symptom after you just finsihed working on it, go back and recheck all your previous work. Recheck for bad vacuum line that got either bumped and knocked
off or disturbed and now is cracked. If replacing something that has a gasket, recheck for damaged gasket or loose mounting or missing bolts. If you are dealing
with electrical and something does not work afterwards, recheck connections and
fues/fuseable links for damage. Check for frayed or damaged wires like onlyonthur,
this is a common thing that happens. The motto is, REcheck, recheck recheck, recheck, walk away from it then come back and recheck again. Chances are you just left something off or disconnected. Happy wrenching, rx7doctor
