bringing the car to the garage AGAIN!
man this is to much. ever since i bought this car i have had nothing but problems. I bought it for 2 grand with 126,000. Now it has 128k and this will be the fourth damn time its been in the shop. the last thing was the distributor now who knows. Every time ive been coing to a stop light or sign and sit i stauls out. who knows, maybe this car is at the end of its wits...to bad to, the car is in such good shape. we will see today what it is though.

Dude...maybe you should consider an engine swap instead of spending future $$ on paint and big plastic bumpers? - just my $0.02

dont feel bad man. Look at my sig for all the shit i had to do to my current ride. and that doesnt even include my wrecked car. that one had the alternator die on my 4 days after i bought it while i was driving with a learners permit alone ... and a cop rolling next to me. That car broke down every 2-3 months for another 300-400 bucks in repairs.

if you remove your breather fronm the manifold their are two holes in the throttle body if you plug up both holes you engine should cut off. if you plug the fitv it shouldnt have any vacume(engine must be completely hot. the fitv is controled by coolant temp and adjustes you idle when the engine is cold

Don't feel bad. My old engine blew up 2 months ago. Since then I put in a ZC but everyday something would break or not work right. It's been dead for a week now.
