and all the dumb post in it? How can someone ask for help and not offer enough information so someone can actually help them out.

"my car wont start need help"

"my cable dont work need help asap"

"my car is making this noise what is it"

"do you think my tranny is fucked up"

"is it ok if I run open headers on my daily driver"

That section need someone to moderate or erase all stupid questions.How can you expect people to guess the year / make / model from "my shit wont start HELP"

Agreed. Cafords, dumbest tech section in America.

Not true, just learn how to articulate your question. I have gotten good advice and know how from that section.

+1 When I post I try and put all the info I know, but I'm still learning and am not too car savvy and don't know what everything is called and what not. I'm sure people don't do it on purpose or they might not know what to list. I.E If I'm asking a question about my breaks then I don't really need to list all my mods because they don't all pertain to my breaks

Forums are for people to learn and help each other so no just because your not car SAVVY doesn't mean you shouldn't post there

That's the problem right there. People just don't know how to write a complete and coherent question.

Also, if you plan on working on your own car BUY SOME GODDAMN TOOLS! There's a carb question I responded to there, and when I asked "How high is 'hecka high'" when refering to the idle and "do you have a vacuum gauge?" the answer is "sorry, don't have a tach or vacuum gauge." Then How the F do you plan on setting the idle speed and mixture without the right tools?

Being car savvy has nothing to do with it. I admit i dont know everything there is to know about car repair but i do know how to ask a question. The times i have asked questions about things i dont know i give as much info as i can. I include model make and year of my car and the problem im having with it. i just dont write "my shit is making noise, help" and expect people to hear what im hearing when they're on the other side of a computer and cant hear shit.
