A plastic T-rex taught me to ask about backseat passengers

I was working on a minivan with a weird idle. The scan tool gave me odd readings about air intake. When I checked the filter box, a small dinosaur toy was stuck in the tube. The kid in the back said he was feeding the car dinosaurs. I always thought engine issues were complex, but now I look for simple stuff first. It makes the job easier and funnier.

In my experience, simple fixes are rare and real problems take hours.
