This is exactly why you don't go to a dealer once the warranty has expired.
Spend some time finding a trustworthy mechanic. Years ago I had my Ford dealer tell me they had no way to drain the rear diff fluid from my Bronco. I got a $10 drill mounted pump and a length of rubber hose and did it myself in 30 minutes. Dealers are not to be trusted. mike |

What is the likelyhood that all three of these components failed at the same time? Might have been just a bad vacuum hose generating default codes from the idle control circuitry. I don't know how exacting the OBC's are but it is interesting that the last thing replaced (vacuum hose) fixed the problem. Howard 1989 LX 5.0 vert |

You might be surprised at the rise in competancy level from mediocre mechanics. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert |
