you're talking about 800 in parts thereabouts....and yes i've heard the CPS not working the car wouldn't run...but there was a rear cps code none the less. He does not want to put the money into it. I was just thinking if there was ONE particular part that for plus or minus $100 can make the car run ALOT better it would be wise for him to do it before he tried to sell/trade the car.
If I could find a way to sell the engine I would consign the car and start stripping it for him....
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

For safety sake the owner needs to have the front repaired too. The 140's are expensive cars to maintain properly. If your friend is in over his head then it would be best to sell the 140 and buy a more economical car.
