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.

Troubleshoot Anti Pollution Faults: A Quick Guide

Anti-pollution systems, particularly in modern vehicles, are designed to reduce harmful emissions and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

However, like any other complex system, they can develop faults that impact vehicle performance, emissions, and fuel efficiency. These faults can stem from a variety of issues related to sensors, filters, and control units. Understanding how to troubleshoot these problems is key to maintaining both the vehicle’s environmental compliance and optimal functioning.

Common Anti-Pollution System Faults

Particulate Filter Blockage Diesel vehicles, in particular, are equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to trap soot and other harmful particles. Over time, the DPF can become clogged, especially if the vehicle is frequently used for short trips where it doesn’t reach the temperatures needed for regeneration (self-cleaning process). A clogged DPF can trigger warning lights or cause the vehicle to enter a "limp mode," reducing engine performance.Solution: A DPF regeneration cycle can often clear the filter, but in severe cases, professional cleaning or replacement may be necessary.

Oxygen Sensor Malfunction Oxygen sensors monitor the exhaust gases to ensure the engine is running efficiently. A faulty sensor can send incorrect data to the engine control unit (ECU), leading to poor fuel combustion, increased emissions, and reduced engine performance.Solution: Oxygen sensors should be inspected regularly and replaced if they show signs of failure, such as poor fuel economy or excessive exhaust emissions.

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve Issues The EGR system recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the engine to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. If the EGR valve becomes clogged with carbon deposits, it may fail to operate properly, causing higher emissions and potential engine knocking.Solution: Regular cleaning or replacement of the EGR valve can restore the system’s performance.

AdBlue/DEF System Malfunction (for Diesel Engines) Many modern diesel vehicles use AdBlue (a urea-based solution) to reduce NOx emissions. If the AdBlue system malfunctions or runs low, it can trigger warning lights and cause the vehicle to fail emissions testing.Solution: Ensure that the AdBlue tank is filled regularly, and check for any issues with the AdBlue injector or sensors.

Steps to Troubleshoot Anti-Pollution Faults

Check for Warning Lights or Error Codes Modern vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) systems that can identify faults in the anti-pollution system. Using an OBD-II scanner, you can retrieve error codes that provide specific information about the issue. For example, error codes like P2002 indicate a DPF issue, while P0420 signals problems with the oxygen sensor.

Inspect the Components Visual inspection of the anti-pollution components, including the DPF, oxygen sensors, EGR valve, and exhaust system, is crucial. Look for signs of damage, leaks, or carbon buildup. Pay close attention to any unusual sounds or changes in vehicle performance.

Test and Replace Faulty Parts Once you identify the faulty component through diagnostics or visual inspection, replace or repair the part as needed. In many cases, sensors and filters can be replaced relatively easily, but some components may require professional assistance.

Clear Fault Codes and Test the Vehicle After repairs, clear the fault codes from the OBD-II system and test the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved. If the problem persists, further diagnostic testing may be required to pinpoint other underlying issues.

Conclusion

Troubleshooting anti-pollution faults is an essential part of maintaining modern vehicles, especially as emissions regulations become more stringent.

By understanding the common issues, using diagnostic tools, and performing regular maintenance, drivers can ensure their vehicles remain compliant with environmental standards and perform efficiently. When in doubt, always consult a professional mechanic, as some issues can be complex and require expert attention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How often should I replace the DPF in my diesel vehicle? DPF replacement is typically not required unless it is severely clogged or damaged. Regularly driving at highway speeds can help with regeneration. If you frequently drive short distances, you may need to have the filter cleaned or replaced every 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on your driving habits.

2. Can I drive with the anti-pollution warning light on? Driving with the anti-pollution warning light on can lead to further damage to the exhaust system and increased emissions. It is advisable to address the issue promptly, as ignoring the warning could lead to costly repairs or even legal issues related to emissions testing.
