The customer is probably a stroke survivor, Not Drunk, Slur is common, sometimes side of mouth droops and the giveaway is his right arm use is very limited. Please don't judge.

Yeah, what made me think that he's not a drunk, is that he seems far too functional, and has nicer things than someone who'd be drunk in the middle of the day would have. I'd never jump to the conclusion that someone is a drunk just based on slurred sppech alone.

The guy is NOT drunk.He is standing steady. He is not walking all over the place. I do agree with other comments; a stoke can make a person speech impaired. The outcome of a stroke is very unpredictable; it is why doctors will perform a few test after post stroke diagnosis.

9:11 - I worked on a 3.6L with a bad Bosch ECM a couple of weeks ago. I also ordered the VIN programmed replacement from Ares and the vehicle is back up and running. After taking the old ECM apart I found out that a capacitor on the back side of the board leaked and failed. It's a common failure for the late 2000's early 2010's GM direct injection 3.6L with the Bosch engine management system.
@jackcrisci29577 ай бұрын
Not just the 3.6 platforms. My V8 STS had plenty of modules shot through with corrosion that needed replacing. In my case their two part ABS modulator had the joining gasket fail and moisture intruded. Had to redo the climate control module for a bad dial. The RCDLR gets moody in the cold/damp. The electronics don't age well but have to say for the most part no issues. Just a handful of REALLY annoying ones.

I had a similar experience with a no crank situation, after going over bumps. Had it towed in to a couple shops. First shop hooked it up to a scanner and fixed one issue. It still wouldn't start. For some reason it started and it was working fine. Then one day it did the same thing. Towed it to a different shop, and it started right up for him. He believed me, and told me to let him have it for a few days to check a few things. He drove it around on bumpy roads, then brought it back to his shop. Turned it off then tried turning it back on, and it happened to him. It happened to be a wire from the starter to the engine. He fixed it and made me a very happy customer.

The guy definitely had a stroke, if he was drunk and slurring that much, his eyes would be barely opened and he'd be fighting to stand up. But all the signs point to stroke, look how he describes stuff and his left are is moving but his right isn't moving at all, thats why he reached out and did the backward handshake, cause he cant use the right.

They both said I needed an engine. I was like no way I am meticulous with my cars. Kept searching KZbin finally found a video where a guy had the same exact issues and it’s from the upper timing chain guide bolts backing out. Sure enough that was my issue. Literally a free fix. Best believe I put some lock tight on them bolts.
