^ what he said. Nothing an oil change place does should cause an intake manifold to explode/catch fire!



The slow-mo eating chips employee made me want to put a boot up his *** being slow just walking around, but then he had the fire out in 6 seconds so that's alright then.



If you can find an ex-jiffy-lube employee type, have them tell you some fun stories. NEVER take your car to an instant oil change place!

Funny funny, but yeah I agree that's the manufacturer. They should sue the manufacturer.

I bet I know exactly what happened. They did a fuel injector flush, which involves removing the fuel line from the rail. I bet he forgot to put the line back on.
