Well, there’s your problem — you’ve got a snake in the engine.
A group of Florida mechanics received a fright when they discovered an 8-foot-long albino boa constrictor lodged in the engine of a Ford Focus on Tuesday. Beach Automotive employees, stationed in Myrtle Beach, were working on the car when they found the large serpent wriggling under the hood, WPDE reports.
That’s when Russell Cavender — known as the “Snake Chaser” — arrived and jammed his hands into the car to safely dislodge the snake, which appeared to have gotten stuck in the car’s mechanisms. Cavender was able to slowly pull the snake out until he was able to grab its end and guide the serpent out, much to the amazement of the mechanics who were stunned by the size of the reptile.

What timing. Just pulled a 9-inch mini-snake from my pool skimmer. Wife wasn’t happy. Came out in 4 pieces.
Organic costs more than processed every time.
LOL! Damn pool skimmers are the repository of all manner of repulsive, sodden, decaying things!
I wonder what the mechanics book rate is for removing a Boa Constrictor?
I didn’t know a fuel injection engine could come with an automatic choke.
Close that hood and start it up.......let it ideal for 1 hour, then turn off the car, lift the hood.....voila...roast snake for dinner!
Looks like a T Positive Albino Boa.
Not cheap.
It’s the serpentine belt.
It belongs there.
I hope the snake in the engine is returned to the natural swamp where it can live out its life with other animals like birds and fish..
. The White House snake is a part of a swamp filled with evil, viscious creatures.
And it makes it’s own gravy.
That is a “serpentine” belt.... 🐍
