Just made an appointment @ Hempstead Lincoln. Let you guys know if anyone cares.

I guess they all suck. Yea and stay away from DANA. It wasn't as simple as I explained. They're amateurs. Anyone?

I'm finally giving up and need some work done. DANA in Staten Island fixed my valve cover gaskets, they started leaking 6 months later. not going back. Premier in Brooklyn, someone tried to break into my locked car on their lot and put a hole in my door under the handle. They denied it. Not...

Thanks again Quik. I kept the chains so i can post a pic of the snapped one. figure it's like a battle scar to brag about (sarcasim : don't wish it on my worst enemy). Anyway, should this help my situation by just plugging it in cause i have the sensor (thanks again max) or does the computer...

anyone?:Beer

just changed timing belt ($2500) on 2000 v8. car is running like crap. misfire feeling 10x. mechanic said i need cam position sensor. just got one from max. anyone done this before? where is it? anyone have pictures of installation and how to? thanks

mechanic just replaced timing chain and did head work for one valve. Just called him and he said there is ticking noise that will probably just clear up. do i have hydraulic lifters that were dry and now the engine just needs to run for a while?

For now it's just the chain and tensioners. when they take everything apart who knows?

JUST GOT WORD FROM MECHANIC. he said the timing chain is busted. BIG job. losing my mind

why just so i know

History on the car is that i had it since mile one. i had it special ordered 6 months before any ls was on the road. babied the car all the way. car started sputtering one day and then after i parked it , it would not start again. thought it was a simple fuel problem but nope. they got the car...

i just gotta figure out if they did it right b/c all they did was a compression test i am assuming. i think i should get a second opinion b/c they never gave me a full report on why and exactly what's wrong. and that engine quik is out of canada and ebay so it's a stretch

has anyone had to change theirs? how much will it cost? i maintained the car perfectly and can't figure out this is

i'll update tomorrow but it didn't sound good when the car was running. i was just wondering if someone here had something similar b/c these cars seem to have common issues. i hope it's fixable b/c replacing motor is not an option i could deal w/ right now

I finally get the car towed to the mechanic today and he finally gets it to start. the engine was "flooded" so he finally got it started. here's were it gets bad. there is a knock in one of my valves. it kinda has the sound of a peice of metal getting tossed around in there. he says my valve it...

don't change your wire assembly for the tail light. it's a waste of money. i've changed it and still have the same problem. i change a brake light about once a month cause it burns it out. it's something internal. if you check other threads people have the sdame problem with the bulb getting too...

the dealerships in the ny tristate area are the worst. i could list pages of the issues that i had with them. i branched all the way out to nj at hillside auto. my car was overheating and no one could fix it. with the help of the guys here i saved thousands when they isolated the hydro fan pump...

i was trying to avoid the cost of towing and the experience of a clueless mechanic. this board has always helped me solve problems. i got the check engine light when the car was running. before i shut it off. later when i tried to start it was when it didn't start. i had CODE P0153 slow response...

switched relay #15. no luck. put my ear to the gas tank and heard a very slight whine when the key was turned. did it once. all the other times i tried it it did not whine so i have no clue if the fuel pump works or not. i have the CEL on but have no way of getting it to autozone for the...

one more thing. if it was the just the relay wouldn't i not be able to have started that one time at all instead of that rough idle? it was just weird that it went like that instead of just not starting at all. thanks
