The shop I recommended would not install something you don't need let alone over charge.

you need to tell us what symptoms you're experiencing if you want us to be able to give you more solid advice.

dozer: correct but at this point I don't think any of us should even MENTION parts to the OP until we know the symptoms as it'll just complicate the matter further.

Ball is in melvin's court.
we await more information...

If you were to have a globe in front of you, would you be able to point out where Downey, Ca is?

You have a better chance at getting a correct diagnosis from the right people on this forum.

Gotta love a guy who puts ten frickin' exclamation points in his thread title, like it's a MF emergency, then doesn't check back in.

no comprendo

apparently only a "mechanic" could help him with this problems and we're too stupid to be of assistance.

relax peeps ive been out of town and well, ive been reving the **** out of the car and ive noticed that it stalls alot. i went to riverside, ca and sometimes it would be in 4th gear and it would only be going 25 miles. sometimes i would put it on manuel and it wudnt speed up at all. it would just slow down. on my dash i see the check tire pressure signal turn on and off and most of the other signs aswell but they turn off aswell. idk if any of u have had this problem? hope to hear from u soon.


ps: if u dnt have someting educated to say. dnt reply back. it gets annoying after a while.
