They'd have to bank on boomers being too far gone in the compenticy department to realize they are personally getting fucked to move forward with this shit. I don't believe that's the case, the mental house of cards they've built has a foundation of "how does it effect me". If the facade can be punctured to show yes, it effects you too, both major political parties are going to have a tough time on their hands.
That's a juicy distraction though. What's that old quote, believe half of what you see any nothing that you hear.
Man I think we've all gone insane. We've always delt with disinformation and lying to one another as a species, but we might be hitting a point where there's no where to get away from this shit.
Late to the party but if it is a vacuum leak you can use some kind of flammable aerosol to find it. Quick little spurts around the throttle body and vacuum lines with the motor running and you'll hear the idle increase if it gets sucked into the engine and you'll identify where the leak is.
It sounds like a sensor to me though. Don't know which, but if it runs okay without smoke for a while after clearing codes then starts smoking after a drive and throws the MIL it sounds like it's fine when the computer is in open loop using predefined fuel mixtures, but when it goes into closed loop it starts dumping more fuel into the engine than is needed. If that's the case and the computer is forcing a rich condition you'll wanna get it figured out before the catalytic converter plugs and needs to be replaced.
If your familiar with motorcycles are you familiar with reading spark plugs? Probably worth pulling a few to try and see if the engine is experiencing a rich or lean condition.
To other dipshits sucking farts, you are not special. Once your usefulness comes to an end you're a nobody who no one will rescue. This should be common sense, what do you do with a pen that has run out of ink? You're all disposable to king trump.
Where are you from bud?
