I’m Detective Archibald Shitpope. There’s only one thing I care about more than solving crimes: inexpensive Toyota hatchbacks.

The big boss upstairs has been tired of my incessant browsing of Craigslist at work for a long time. I get results, though, and no one else in the precinct comes close.

So when a murder case came across my desk, I did what I always do. Press F5 and see if anything under $2500 has been posted.

It took a long time to load. The precinct has shitty copper T3 back haul, and it’s always being wasted on stuff like crime scene streaming and live tracking of serial killers. That’s when I took a look at the case. And it shocked me. The murder occurred at the docks. The docks? That’s where JDM cars come from.

In dick school, they tell you that every murder has means, motive, and opportunity. There’s something else, at least for me. Toyotas. I carry a vintage トヨタ shift knob in my pocket, a sort of good luck charm. And, in contravention of department policy, my investigating car is a hammered-to-shit 2002 Celica GT (non-S) with bad ball joints, enough mileage that the digital odometer flickers in disbelief when I turn it on, and a case of sassy diff syndrome.

When I got to the scene, it was what I’d been dealing with for most of my career. A murder. I didn’t need the uniformed dipshits with their unreliable, smoggy domestic V8 squad cars to tell me that.

“It’s a classic locked room murder, boss,” said my assistant Soichiro when I finally arrived. He was born in Yonkers and legally changed his name after his hero, Soichiro Yamada, the guy who invented the cooled EGR system. “The keys are still in the vic’s pockets, so it's a mystery how someone got in there and killed him.” He walked me to a Toyota Corolla II “Windy.”

At once I knew the secret. “Soichiro, you fucked up again,” I spat with some measure of fatherly disappointment. This turbocharged, nearly-top-trim 1987 Corolla II sported the rare and desirable Panasonic parcel shelf speakers. That meant it also held the remote unlock feature, hugely uncommon for the Showa era, so much so that it would never be documented outside of the sales brochure, and certainly not in the inefficient and barbaric English literature for same.

“Turn ‘em out, Soichiro,” I ordered, pointing at his pockets, and he knew he had no choice but to comply. On the table before us lay the evidence of his treachery. One Carrozzeria branded remote lock/unlock remote, and - worse - the keys to a 1988 CR-X. He’d been on the take this whole time.

Later, the aforementioned uniformed dipshits would find something even worse on a search of a storage unit registered to my "partner," Soichiro. Four single-slammer D16 ZC engines, all matching serial numbers to the cars that went missing after the big tea house shootout in Chinatown. I’d been off that week, trying to find a replacement lift actuator, and Soichiro had filled in.

I don’t carry a sidearm. I don’t need to. I simply waited until Soichiro took flight, fleeing across the parking lot of the warehouse, and hit him with my car. Bent the upper radiator support, which the department bodyshop took care of since it was "in the line of duty." Fixed the headlight tabs, too. That probably cost Uncle Taxpayer a few cents.

I got a lot of heat for it later, from the chief, but the mayor overruled him, gave me a medal for valour. She was alright. Had a late model Tercel back home, I knew. Coupe, though, had a trunk. Politics is about compromise.

My College Courses

In this post, I’ve typed up my full list of college courses organized by Smith’s seven major fields of knowledge (used for Latin Honors). You can also check out my courses page to see them organized by semester. 

As an engineering and computer science double major, it was unsurprising that my top categories were Mathematics and Analytical Philosophy {M} and Natual Science {N}. In fact, two-thirds of my credits (120/179) carried either the {M} or the {N} designation. Note that my three UMass computer science courses (marked with asterixis) weren’t technically assigned Latin Honors designations, but I’ve categorized them with an {M} as nearly all Smith computer science majors hold that designation. 

While the vast majority of my courses were for one of both of my majors, I am proud to say that I took a total of 50 credits that were completely outside of both majors. Over the course of my time at Smith, I took courses from 13-16 different departments. The exact number depends on if you count psychology or not as I took a course cross-listed between both philosophy and psychology. Furthermore, FYS (first-year seminars) and IDP (inter/extradepartmental) courses fall outside of the set departments so are tricky to count. 

Next to each category, I’ve included a percentage that measures the percentage of my credits earned for the given category. Note that the percentages don’t actually sum to 100% as six of my courses held two distinct designations. I’ve marked these courses using the caret and inverted caret symbols.

How to Fix Emission Problems in a BMW Car?

Owning a BMW is pleasurable until it starts encountering emission issues. Why is this emission system quite essential for your BMW? Usually, it is responsible for eliminating harmful toxins released from the exhaust, like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. So, when this system malfunctions, your vehicle may face issues in passing emissions tests as well as running inefficiently. When this system fails, it directly impacts the engine performance, triggering the check engine warning light and ruining your overall driving experience.  Quite inconvenient, isn’t it? Don’t worry! Here is a simple step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and fix emission issues in your BMW.

Typical emission troubles of your BMW and the methods to fix it

Poor oxygen sensors

Oxygen sensors are crucial for checking the amount of oxygen in exhaust gases. So, when the oxygen sensor malfunctions, it can hamper the fuel efficiency and degrade the car's performance. Moreover, a faulty sensor may also result in higher emissions.

First of all, verify if your car is triggering an oxygen sensor diagnostic code. If yes, you must replace the faulty oxygen sensor with a new one. Since this is a complex vehicle component, you must not handle this on your own. Seek professional assistance to replace both upstream and downstream sensors for better results.

Blocked catalytic converter

The primary role of the catalytic converter is to reduce harmful exhaust gases by converting them into less harmful compounds. However, eventually, it can become clogged with carbon deposits, which leads to poor engine performance and elevated emissions.

To treat a blocked catalytic converter, first, you have to check whether only cleaning would solve the issue or if it needs to be replaced because sometimes a gentle cleaning can fix it, but if it’s badly damaged, replacing it is the best option. It’s generally a job for professionals.

Dirty or failing mass airflow (MAF) sensor

The MAF sensor is responsible for measuring the air coming into the engine, supporting the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the air-fuel mixture. A dirty or faulty sensor can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and higher pollution.

You may clean the MAF sensor on your own by applying a specific cleaner, and the best part is you don’t need to remove it, as it’s an easy fix. If you still face the same trouble even after cleaning the sensor, consult a skilled mechanic to replace it to get everything back on track.

Seeping fuel cap

A loose or leaking fuel cap may seem like simple trouble, but it can trigger emission issues in your car. A broken or damaged fuel cap seal can let fuel vapors out, causing the emission warning light to glow or blink on your BMW dashboard.

Check the fuel cap for any signs of crack or wear. Remove it and place a new cap if damaged. In case of a loose fuel cap, you just need to tighten it with the correct torque to turn off the warning light.

Malfunctioning EGR valve

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve usually operates by circulating a portion of exhaust gases back into the engine to diminish nitrogen oxide emissions. When it gets blocked or becomes defective, your BMW will generate more harmful emissions.

Clean the EGR valve gently if it's obstructed. It may be a messy job, but it will restore the valve to working condition. If you are not familiar with this, it is recommended to take the help of a learned technician to clean or replace the faulty or clogged EGR valve.

The bottom line

With this, you have come to the end of this comprehensive guide. Hopefully, you have grasped a lot of information about the ways to treat the emission issues in your cherished BMW. When you keep an eye on how your car runs, stick to a regular upkeep routine, and deal with problems as early as they appear, this can keep the emission system operating optimally and save money on unnecessary repairs. So, whether it’s replacing sensors or cleaning the EGR valve, the solutions are often easy. Don't forget to perform a diagnostic scan to identify the problem and take action before it worsens. After all, your BMW deserves the best care!

What Are the Most Common Reasons for the Check Engine Light to Activate in a Mini Cooper?

The check engine light (CEL) is a vital indicator on your Mini Cooper’s dashboard, alerting you to potential issues with the vehicle’s systems. While seeing this light can be concerning, understanding the common reasons behind its activation can help you address problems efficiently and maintain your Mini’s performance. This article explores the most frequent causes of a check engine light in a Mini Cooper and what you should do when it appears.

1. Loose or Faulty Gas Cap

One of the simplest yet most overlooked causes of a check engine light is a loose or faulty gas cap. The gas cap seals the fuel system and prevents gasoline vapors from escaping. If it’s loose, cracked, or not sealing properly, it can trigger the CEL. Always ensure the gas cap is tightly secured after refueling. If the light persists, replacing the cap may resolve the issue.

2. Oxygen Sensor Issues

The oxygen sensor monitors the level of unburned oxygen in your Mini’s exhaust and helps regulate the air-fuel mixture. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can affect engine performance and reduce fuel efficiency. Over time, sensors can wear out or fail due to carbon buildup. Replacing a faulty oxygen sensor promptly can prevent further damage to the catalytic converter and maintain optimal engine operation.

3. Malfunctioning Spark Plugs or Ignition Coils

Spark plugs and ignition coils are crucial for the combustion process in your Mini’s engine. If these components are worn out or malfunctioning, they can cause misfires, rough idling, or reduced engine performance, triggering the check engine light. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of spark plugs and coils can help avoid this issue.

4. Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Problems

The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and helps determine the proper air-fuel mixture. A failing MAF sensor can result in poor fuel economy, difficulty starting the engine, or stalling. If the CEL is accompanied by these symptoms, having the MAF sensor checked and cleaned or replaced may solve the problem.

5. Catalytic Converter Failure

The catalytic converter is a vital component of your Mini’s emissions system, converting harmful gases into less harmful emissions. If the catalytic converter is clogged or damaged, it can cause reduced engine performance, lower fuel efficiency, and an illuminated check engine light. Addressing issues like a failing oxygen sensor or misfires early can help protect the catalytic converter from damage.

6. Issues with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System

The EGR system reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into the engine. A clogged or malfunctioning EGR valve can cause performance problems, such as rough idling or engine knocking, and trigger the CEL. Cleaning or replacing the EGR valve can resolve the issue.

7. Fuel System Problems

Issues within the fuel system, such as a failing fuel pump, clogged fuel injectors, or low fuel pressure, can also activate the check engine light. Symptoms like hesitation during acceleration, stalling, or difficulty starting may accompany this issue. Professional diagnosis is essential to pinpoint and resolve the specific problem.

8. Faulty Thermostat

The thermostat regulates the engine’s operating temperature by controlling coolant flow. A stuck or faulty thermostat can lead to overheating or underheating, causing the CEL to come on. Replacing a malfunctioning thermostat is essential to prevent potential engine damage.

9. Transmission Issues

In some cases, problems with the transmission can trigger the check engine light. Symptoms like delayed shifting, unusual noises, or slipping gears may accompany this issue. Modern vehicles, including Mini Coopers, are equipped with sensors that monitor the transmission’s performance. Addressing these problems early can prevent more extensive damage.

10. Vacuum Leaks

Vacuum leaks occur when unmetered air enters the engine, disrupting the air-fuel mixture. This can cause rough idling, stalling, or reduced fuel efficiency, along with the CEL activation. Common sources of vacuum leaks include cracked hoses, loose connections, or a failing intake manifold gasket.

What to Do When the Check Engine Light Comes On

If the check engine light on your Mini Cooper activates, follow these steps:

Check for Simple Causes: Start by checking the gas cap. Ensure it’s securely tightened or consider replacing it if it appears damaged.

Observe for Symptoms: Pay attention to any additional symptoms, such as unusual noises, reduced performance, or dashboard warnings, to help identify the potential issue.

Use an OBD-II Scanner: If you have access to an OBD-II scanner, retrieve the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to narrow down the cause of the CEL.

Consult a Professional Mechanic: For accurate diagnosis and repair, visit a trusted Mini Cooper specialist. They have the expertise and tools to resolve the issue efficiently.

Preventing Check Engine Light Issues

Inspect Components Regularly: Check and replace air filters, hoses, and belts as needed to avoid common issues.

Address Problems Early: Resolve minor issues promptly to prevent them from escalating into major repairs.
