of course this is after $1500 of work.
I have the tools, place and some know how to do this myself (w/help from XOC). But I had some extra Obama FHB cash left and I really did not want to spend my vacation doing this. So I paid my local mech to do it for me while I spent the week on a Florida beach w/ the family.
My own little economic stimulation.
1) #6 fuel injector was faulting (only one I did not change b/c I did not feel like taking the intake off to get to it)
2) brakes job all around (4th on fronts and 1st on rears)
3) the big one: timing belt w/ all the extras (hosed, belts, water pump, thermostat...harmonic balence (fell apart)
Yes I was gambling big time on the timing belt, 145000miles.
The #6 fuel injector just became to much of a problem to ignore.
I checked my records and I have never replaced the rear brakes. Upon further inspection it became apparent that they had quit working some time back.
Now she is running like a 10 year old 170hp spotted cheetah. Plus stopping a lot better.
