This week on the show I share a case study on a 2016 Kia Optima 2.4L that's setting a P0010 in the ECM after multiple components have been replaced, including the ECM. This is a common code for these vehicles and they have multiple failure points in this system. This car turned out to be something more interesting than the typical fault.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper.
