Default Update on Problems

Some of you may have read my previous thread on the issues I was having with my local dealership. I took the forums advice and decided to do little hands on maintenance; changing the plugs, wires, rotor and pcv valve and now my car runs like new again. I will avoid the dealership at all costs from now on. What they wanted $1700 to fix I did in $110. Thanks again to all those who gave help.

Feels good to do it yourself, get the results, and save the $

good job. With a 50/50 split of the savings, you owe the contributing CF members $795 in beer.
