Way too long, after 25 straight correct answers - I stopped.

This one is a bit harder: Car symptoms and solutions quiz | HowStuffWorks

I missed 6 of the 35 questions, I'm not proud to say.

Got 33 out of 35. Some of those Q's pertained more to old-school carbureted engines, with points and distributors. Then modern fuel-injected, ECU ones.

Sadly, I've experienced many of the symptoms. Esp fatal engine ones... in my many moons of twisting wrenches.

You only had 5 to go.

It was pretty basic for a motor-head. But probably tougher for your average joe or jill.

Only got 27 out of 35 on the other quiz. Owned too many Hondas so I don't have as much experience with problems like that.

I quit at number 16 because the answer they had is wrong.

At the risk of starting an argument with an attorney--always unwise--what ARE the three most common ways to arrange an engine's cylinders?
