[QUOTE="4play, post: 4127867, member: 7223"] That project involves some of the basic fundamentals of automotive repair but it is far from the scope of teaching kids "automotive technology". This guy has a curriculum to teach, and I doubt there is very much time for a project like this too. The time you spent on it is probably a fraction of the time it would take to teach a bunch of kids to do it. This kind of work is on the far end of the spectrum of what is being taught in basic automotive classes. They typically learn how to diagnose and repair modern vehicles, not circumvent engine management systems, or disable and modify them. Honestly if I was the instructor, I wouldn't take a job like that, probably wouldn't take it at a shop either unless I was going hungry. I would probably let things settle for a few months minimum. Like mentioned, he's probably embarrassed and felt like he's let you down. I doubt he even has students who he could trust to turn loose on it, let alone have time to dedicate to it. [/QUOTE]
