Does Anyone Know WTF They Are Doing?!?!

As a continuation or the thread below and my failed attempt at a track day @ Sebring. I went to the local AutoZone to get them to scan my ECU for engine codes. Well it returned an 1136 IVT solenoid failure. I asked the AutoZone employee is it cylinder bank 1 or 2. He replied bank 1. I arranged to have the part at the track the next day through a friend who would be there. But I still decided not to go just in case there was something else wrong or the car failed to make it the 1 hour drive with the failed IVT solenoid.

So on Monday I went to the local Nissan dealership and picked up a new IVT bank 1 solenoid. The Nissan dealer said it would work on both sides in case it wasn't bank 1. I had not verified the code and just went by what the AZ employee stated.. That was so fukin wrong! Don;t ever trust anybody in the automotive field. No one knows a damn thing and sometimes it seems as if they are actually out to sabatage you and keep you from fixing your own car.

Turns out 1136 pertains to bank 2 and the solenoid is different from left to right side! MFer!

So to the AutoZone employee who is just a glorified cashier and the Nissan dealer parts employee... go fuk yourselves! Maybe you should both pursue a career in the janitorial arts because reading catalogs and service manuals is to difficult for yah!
