Electrical tape is always a cheap fix for pesky lights.

Can you please, please, please shut the fuck up about that stupid water pump? I’ve been driving the car for 6 months and haven’t seen any sort of puddle or leaking or anything abnormal to where I need to even think about replacing it. I’m really sick and tired of hearing about it.

To my knowledge the powertrain is extremely healthy.

Good thing because they made the whole interior out of it.

Maybe you’ll get lucky, and you can train one powertrain for the other.

P1188 = Fuel Control (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

Not sure what to think.

If you replaced it you wouldn’t have to hear about it anymore...

My tan interior is a bit faded. Are dash mats still considered tacky?

It. Doesn’t. Need. To. Be. Replaced.

That's it, end of story.

Typically a fuel control code is related to fuel trim, either the car went really rich or really lean. If you have a scanner to pull your STFT (short-term fuel trim) numbers, you can figure out whether you’re going rich or lean and what to do about it. It could be a dying o2 sensor, a vacuum leak, or (unlikely) a fuel leak...it could also be an injector or fuel pump, but I find that hard to believe if you haven’t had driveability issues.
