Hawkins 3 talus fracture and dislocation…viewer discretion advised

Some background: I'm an active 27 y/o male, rock climber and birder. Snapped my talus about 1.5 weeks ago in a work accident.

My surgeon told me it would be 6 months before I can bear any weight on my ankle. I have EDS so no bones ended up ripping through the skin, on any normal person it would have. I was also told I would have the change my line of work and climbing again would be unlikely. I've been in the trades my entire life and love what I do. I don't have a degree or many white-collar skills, but I need to pay the bills somehow.

Currently feeling incredibly anxious and lost. My doctor told me it was one of the worst talus fractures she's seen in her 20+ years as a foot and ankle surgeon.

Troubleshooting misfires, potential vacuum leak. Found a damaged wire going to MAF sensor. (2003, 2.3)

I’ve already posted a few times, but gonna pick everyone’s brain yet again. I’ve replace plugs/wires/coil. I can’t seem to find a vacuum leak using the ol propane method. While I was looking at the wiring loom I noticed the wires running to the MAF had detached from the bracket that’s supposed to hold the loom. One of the wires is frayed, but still connected. Would this potentially cause multiple misfire codes? Truck still runs poorly and dies after about a minute.

Replaced coil, plugs, and wires. Truck is still misfiring and throwing new codes (2003, 2.3)

Caption sums it up for the most part. I now have 7 codes: P0300, P0301, P0303 P0316, P0113, P0102, P0138. I’ve replaced the coil, plugs, and wires. I’ve ensured all the wires are going to the correct cylinder as well. I originally had 5 codes before I did the work, but I picked up the P0303 and P0300 somehow.

I stalled the truck while turning around one day and it started running horribly. I’m assuming the worst at this point, but does anyone have any ideas as to what my issue/s could be?

Stalled while turning around. Truck is now running rough and wanting to die on me (2003, 2.3 5spd rwd)

Caption says it all, but I’ll include a video of the exhaust while it’s idling. I’ve noticed that while taking off from a stop it sometimes the engine doesn’t want to build RPMs. No lights on the dash at all. Any idea what the issue could be??

Hey all,

Just curious how the hiring process is going for anyone who applied to Nashville/davidson fire academy. I’m currently on the eligible list and have been “referred” (not quite sure what that means..)
