this is why i still drive my old corolla. don’t have to deal with smart/network/access features, and it’s easy for shops to fix. hope i dont blow a head gasket now that i’ve said that…

A blown head gasket is one of the easiest things to diagnose and repair. You can do it in your home garage with basic tools. But finding a faulty temp sensor that is throwing a code that in turn disables throttle response ... that requires a cloud-based network solution to properly lookup the deliberately cryptic error code.

if only the car contained a computer for diagnostucs and a high resolution dispkay that xould show an error clearly...

Your faulty temp sensor shouldn't need any cloud-based solution.

The SAE J1979 standard (or your part of the world's equivalent) already provides for a way to get that diagnostic data which is mandated by law.

accurate only if you don't warp the head badly enough that it needs to be machined or replaced outright. Even so, crate motors are surprisingly affordable.
