well i hate to see you give up...

but you could do this....every time i go to the shop its 500 bucks..


you might consider letting the expert diagnos the problem and you doing the
work....

the first learning experienc on this car is changing the oil and
the next learning exp is the front of the engine... belts,
waterpump, alt, fan, radiator, ac, ps....


so think about it..... good luck.
