I just got a call from the auto place. They said:
The input gasket is bad and it's leaking oil on the cam sensor. The cam sensor gets soaked eventually and doesn't work right with the rest of the car.
This causes it to (something...basically makes it not work)...
Said it would cost approx. $640 to fix.
Does this sound right? I'm so tired of spending money on this car. He said I could spend $200 to fix the sensor, but the leak would eventually do the same thing. If it woulnd't be the wrong thing to do, would be tempted to spend that $200 and then try to get a mazda6 this week and use this as a trade in...but that wouldn't be right...still tired of repairing this damn car.
Help! I have two hours to let this guy know in time to order the part and get my car fixed in time for the weekend.
Thanks!
