Congratulations! I've been working on cars since I started driving (and before then on my dad's car) and I still enjoy defeating those tricky problems that aren't easy fixes. I've got a P.O.S. 2000 Kia with 190,000 miles, a 1995 Windstar with 180,000 and a 2000 Windstar with 160,000 miles. I often joke that I'm like a crazy stalker with my cars. I decide when our relationship is over, no them.
Good luck and don't be afraid to post future problems. I've found this forum to a fantastic help. (and I've been on many forums that are ghost towns...this isn't one of them)
