Title: Blog 8: Independent Component 1 Proposal


Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours

  • I plan to work on my moms car because it has been problematic for a while without hope. It has misfire issues meaning that the ignition part of the four cycles does not take place. The cause of this could be to various reasons; either the spark isn't receiving signal or the the spark plugs are old. What ever the case is it needs help because it shakes like an big old V8 which isn't normal because its just a 6 cylinder. What I plan to do is, with the guidance of my mentor, diagnose, and address what needs to be fixed. 
Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
  • I will take pictures whenever I can and maybe record myself speaking, kind of the same Idea as famous YouTube vloggers.
  • Also I will keep a log of all the hours I did that way I could use it as a reference when I talk about the pictures.
Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
  • Misfires are very common, not only with BMWs, but also any ordinary car. As they get old they start to develop carbon in the spark plugs which prevents them from misfiring. Another thing I will try is to try and prove the theory of some products that claim they clean your car.

  1. This sounds like a really neat project. Just make sure to document. Are there specific systems that you want to have done at the end of 30 hours?

  2. Okay, I can accept this change. Just make sure that what you are doing requires 30 hours. It seems like a lot for misfiring, but I'm not sure. Also, document as much as you possibly can through your log, pics, videos, etc.
