The Gumption Trap of Intermittents Require You To Look Closer.

….“On your own machine you can study them over a long period of time, something a commercial mechanic can’t do, and you can just carry around the tools you think you’ll need until the intermittent happens again, and then, when it happens, stop and work on it.
.... When intermittents recur, try to correlate them with other things the cycle is doing. Do the misfires, for example, occur only on bumps, only on turns, only on acceleration? Only on hot days? These correlations are clues for cause-and-effect hypotheses.“ [The Narrator then covers many tedious external gumption traps in the purchase of repair parts. He covers the virtues of making your own parts.]
