haha, i don't mind getting down and dirty to help a fellow car guy.   :rofl2:

i may need to do some more maintenance items this summer, maybe spark plugs? i know that front antiroll bar bushings are squeaky when hot, but don't want to replace them yet..

man...   cars are a money pit.

Change your PCV if you have one...

First the Crank Position sensor and now I've had a double whammy. The PCV valve and hoses associated with it were toast. I also had a nice oil leak develop which was my valve cover gasket @ 186000km.

From 155000km -186000km

Engine Speed Sensor ($1000)
Crank Position Sensor ($180)
PCV Valve and Hoses ($225)
Valve Cover Gasket ($135)
