Yeah my car does not start up anymore, but now it says its at 192k, when i know its really at 194k. What is up with that? Is the fucking troll in my car messing with that now??

Nope, kinda impossible when the car does not work.

Maybe your car died and it rolled back 2k miles when it worked :) And now it won't start just to piss you off.

lol.

Yeah i my neighbor has worked on cars from the age of 16 and his son is also coming over in about 2 hours to check out everything in my car. He is bring all his tools and is checking the gaps of the valves, checking voltage, doing all that other stuff i know nothing about, but will in a while. Kinda excited to learn about cars, and what is causing my car to do this crap to me.

good luck on finding out what it is. what stage does it not work at? like do the lights come on and then it won't turn over? or does it turn over but never start?

It just won't start? Could it be that your battery's dead or something? Electrical problems can cause the car to not start. Are you sure your car went from 194K to 192K and not from 184K to 192K? The odometers do not roll backwards, even if you drive in reverse.

Well it did, because i remember having an oil change done at 193k, now it reads 192k. Oh well i can see that nobody knows how the hell this has occurred.

i hate it when your car does that. puts your odometer back miles.
Its like damn now i got to drive 2,000 more miles to get those back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An you spent alot of time drivin those 2,000 miles for nothin.
Maybe if it sits ther elonger it will go back to less then 100,000 miles then you can sale it for more an buy an better car.

I think if we knew, we would have told you. If it bothers you that much then roll it to where you think it should be. It's an old car. Deal with it.
