Well the phone call finally came and it was much better than I thought it would be, all they had to do is replace a few vacuum lines and she was good to go! BIG....HUGE sigh of relief, the mechanic didn't even charge me! He did tell me though that there is quite a bit of an issue with the door locks not working, he said the past owner knew something was wrong with the vacuum system but didn't want to do anything which is why he plugged the door lock line. Now what he told me next was that something was up with my transmission because the car is really slow. I know it just needs a valve adjustment to get back up there but he thinks its the trani also the brake booster has a leak but other than that he said it ran just fine! Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate it! I'm going to see if I can DIY fix my door locks... and I personally don't think anything is up with my trani but we'll see... Cr from Texas, where in Texas do you teach? I was actually (hopefully) going to move from Southern California to San Antonio and finish Community College in S.A. and transfer to University of Texas at Austin for Astronomy! The only thing is I'm horrible with math which puts a damper on that but I'm trying! Yes, right now I'm in my first year finishing my second semester.. hangit thanks for posting that article I'm going to check out that vacuum tool he uses over at sears later on today! Again thanks to all you! It helped out sooo much!!!!
