My wifes latest aquisition
. What have I created
. My wife spotted this 3 blocks from new house, (fell in love) and had me do the negotiations. Out the door after taxes we paid $1194.48
. It did start but sounded like it had skipped the timing belt and was running really rough. He (dealer) said that his mechanic had checked it over and could not get it to run smothly. I went over the different things he could have the mechanic look at. He asked me what would I pay for it and I said $1100. as it sat. Thinking of course that if it was worse than I assumed I had a 24V parts car
, "and I dont need any more projects". Used my AAA to have a roll-back drop it at my house. Used intake accordian meant for my 95' LS (hose was split and wrapped with electrical tape), as well as a few vac hoses. It runs better now but still getting 1221 code. Tomorrow I will exchange AFM with one of the others, put in some 93 octane, go over grounds and to start to narrow it down. Might be a fuel problem, dont have time to play with it today. My wife is upset with me because I told he she cant drive it till I go over a few things
. Told her that she should not drive it till timing belt and water pump, etc have been done. Pleased with purchase though, I really like the color
.
