PLease help I am at wit's end.

Computerized vehicles are only harder to diagnose if you don't know how. I can solve in an hour and one try a problem that might take me days and hundreds of dollars in parts to figure out with a carbed system.

nah, carbs are easier, you don't have to worry about your carb crashing because it got a virus from when you were watching porn!

I don't really worry about that on any of my 3 fuel injected vehicles either.

On my 78 Omega however I was constantly plagued by stuck chokes, sticking throttle linkage, leaking carb gaskets, shot seals on the adjusting screws that didn't allow for proper adjusting of the air/fuel mix, not wanting to run properly on E10 causing random misfires, and 12 MPG driving like a granny when I should have been getting 18 if I flogged it.

i learned in highschool shop class, that ironcally, the carburetor was (and is) technologically, a much more advanced form of fuel delivery, takes a massive amount of additional engineering than basic fuel injection (now with the computer's you see, it's different) but look at old diesel motors, they have been fuel injected since they began roughly 100 years ago, and is a much simpler theory

i suppose preference is based on your area of comfortablity, personally, i hate electronics, but i have a massive understanding for mechanical processes, basic electronics are more mechanical and i get them, simple circuits, power flows in here and that light turns on, i get it... but how you make a computer i don't understand, i was always taught to look at electricity similar to water, it has to flow through the wires... but how you spin a pipe of water and make it make the right turns, and you have a computer that does everything computers do, i don't get... that being said, i can use computers quite well, but still don't understand how they work...

i can take apart a motor and put it back together with no instructions, other than maybe torque specs, i can take apart a carb and typically put it back together (hidden screws are the bane of my existence though) you give me a box of computer parts, i am lost...
