Just Out Of The Surgery!

[EAGLE33]

Hi folks,

I'm finally done with all my car stuff that needed to be done:

1.EGR pipe

2.timing belt (w/water pump and everything else)

3.Drive belt

4.Ignition wires w/spark plugs

5.Brakes (front)

6.ECM or ECU

7.transmission fluid, oil change.

8. Clean trottle body

It is running smooth. Now about above things....

1.You don't need to drop tranny out to change EGR pipe. Even though all the manuals will tell you that you have to do it, don't listen to anybody. I was stupid enough to do it and payed $650 for something that will cost no more than 3 hours worth of labor.

2. Timing belt I changed looked like it would last another 50k, but water pump was ready to go. Idler and tensioner bearings were good, but seals were not.

3. Drive belt still good, and I kept it for emergency use

4. Ignition wires still very good and I kept them, spark plugs shows very minimal wear.

5. Brakes needed to be done

6. No more trottle/idler problems, but didn't notice any more horses yet.

7. Needed to be done when tranny was out for EGR tube.

8. Was not too bad.

Car has 97k right now and its amazing how clean and still usable most of the parts were when I changed them. By the way if anyone wants my old ECU (89661-50302), you can e-mail me gradus33@hotmail.com and we'll work something out.

Eagle33:

you should plan an ad on the buy and Sell Forum. Gives others a chance to look at what you're selling. You can look at what else is being sold by other members. Don't forget to add some pics so that you can show us the condition of the ECU module-some close up of the connector(s) and sockets, and possibly a price you're interesting in selling it for.

Good Luck
