Why didn't you just do what you thought was best for diagnostics?

Because I'm the apprentice. I'm the one still in school. I'm the one still learning.
I may have an idea of what might be wrong, but that doesn't mean I know how to do the diagnostic.

Well today at work I started off with a 4 wheel brake job on a 2011 Impala, just rotors and service calipers as the pads were like new. Oil change was on it too. Got the brakes done and drained the oil, noticed a leak coming down from the top of the engine down to the oil pan, went to fill it up and checked, sure enough, back head gasket was leaking on the drivers side of the engine. Powertrain warranty, cha-ching! GM pays 6.8hrs, customer pay would have been around 10 hours, oh well, I can rattle those out like no tomorrow since I've done so many 3.1/3.4/3.5/3.9 head gaskets in the past 7 years. 4 hours later the customer was down the road.

I was right. According to the other techs he did a fuel pressure test not even 5 minutes after I left. Found a bad fuel filter.
