That would be great. Hopefully I'll get a chance to talk to the shop tomorrow and see what they're going to do about this.

So, I just had the steering rack replaced, and now the contact reel died. Is there any way the shop could have caused the damage to the contact reel, or am I just unlucky?

So, if I have low oil pressure, which I don't, or need to take the pan off for another reason, replace them, but if not don't worry until there is an issue?

I was recently told it is a common problem for the o-ring on the oil pump to fail. I just tuned over 200k miles and have a couple of other things that need to be done. So, I'm wondering, is the o-ring replacement something that is done as a preventative thing or wait until there is a low oil pressur...

The shop dried it out for me and it seems to be running great! Now that it actually has power I have to watch how hard I step on the gas. Is the voltage something to really worry about at the moment since it seems to run well now?

I checked the wires and the voltage, 11.70-11.72. Then I took the coil packs out. There is standing water in two of the plug wells. Me thinks that is the problem. I'll have to call the shop that put the helicoil in. I'm guessing they tried to wash some of the oil that was on top of the head off. Sin...

"Check for 12vdc at the coil connectors, and their condition"

How do you do that? Unplug them with the engine running?

So, I thought I had this fixed. A while back I blew the spark plug on cyl 2. Had a local shop put in a hilicoil and look at the other cyl. They said everything was fine. It really hasn't been driven much since then until today. It's running rough and has had misfires on 3, 4 and 5. Not sure if the m...

This is just lovely! It looks like I have to buy the whole housing and it comes with the temp sensor I just spent $53 to replace.

Check engine light came on today and the computer says the thermostat is going bad. So, I guess that removes the doubt. Hopefully I can do it this weekend. The engine had been off for a couple minutes by the time I got the computer hooked up. It was reading the engine temp at 81C and the gauge was i...
