    10 yrs and she gone. Parts car interest?

    Photos. My dad looked at it today and said throw it on craigslist, someone will give you more than scrap. He thought maybe the starter motor stuck and wanted to dig into it. Like I said, she wasn't going to make another winter, I need to just move on so we didn't.

    Air Ride Compressor Vent or Solenoid

    Cold Weather Engine Temp

    I burped it and it stayed at A all the way home. I deleted the AC compressor, a pulley was way cheaper than replacing the froze compressor and a recharge. Thanks for your help. I get so worried, I cant afford nor could I dream of driving another car.
