Hi all I need to replace all 4 mounts and would like to ask if I could just replace 2 at a time since I don't have the $ to replace all 4 at once. What about picking up 4 used ones at a wrecking yard and adding cork sport inserts as a option? Any thoughts ? Thank you for your time.

Hi here is what I have dealt with since owning this car from 2005 to now. - Rough idle and random stumbling at low speeds. Fixed this with replacing the air intake hose which was cracked. $35 online purchase, 2007. - Rough idle with a p300 cel light. Changed the coil packs and fixed the...

Well I have to give this one to the wife on her initial diagnosis. She called a blown fuse and what does it end up being a damn blown fuse. I ended up destroying the coil boots trying to get them out since I was heading towards a broken timing belt so I ended up replacing both coils and just...

My wife said it put put put when it stopped.

I do have a code reader and will do this when I get home from work

I do have a thought about maybe the timing belt snapping mid drive. My wife said this happened mid drive and the car just shut off. But this would not cause the car to totally shut off of the timing belt broke

i did change the spark plugs and coil packs last yr so I was thinking those would

Where is this relay located? My wife was thinking it was fuel issue so I will let you guys know who was right.

Hello tweety as for the coil packs I replaced both with new ones as well as new plugs and wires. Have not checked the MAF sensor yet so I will work on that and the PCV valve next and will pass on what I find. thanks

I will check that out. thanks. It is driving well it just idles rough and the CEL just popped back on today so the PCV is next. The code I pulled again after the CEL came on tonight was another P0302 so I think it has something going on with the #2 cylinder.

Hello and thanks for the reply. What I have done since the last message is to get a code reader and came up with a P0302 code before I reset the CE light and now the light is off the code reader is pulling a zero reading but I still have a rough idle around 500 RPM's. I forgot to add that I did...

Well here's the update to what I have done and still no avail. Replaced both coil packs and put in new spark plugs. Engine light is on but not blinking like it was before. It just says on. Any replies would be appreciated. This is our only car so I cannot afford to have it down for to much...

Well fella's I tore into it today and pulled out the EGR to check that as the first check and it appeared ok (not clogged up and the valve moved easily), so now I ordered some new SP wires and a couple of coil packs and will put those in tommorrow but I did find something that is concerning me...

Well I have not posted in a while since the yellow bomber has been runnin like a top but today was a different story. My son was driving up a hill close to home and all of a sudden he got a strong fishy smell and then the engine light came on and started flashing so he limped it home and now its...

Yep this one happened to me and it was a simple fix after spending over a year wondering why this car lurched so bad in 1st gear while driving slow.
