Give me something before ECM's, the dealer hiding everything, etc and I'll work on it all day long. My first three cars (81 Plymouth Horizon, 84 Olds Cutlass 4 door and 89 Dodge Shadow) I did all the work with the exception of some head work I had done on my Shadow. I saw the writing on the wall with my mom's 91 Chevy S10 Blazer, had to disconnect the timing adjust relay to set the timing. Was it in the engine bay? Of course not, it was on the panel wall on the passenger side just under the dash. That same blazer got me stuck out in Ft. Towson one Christmas when the spark advance module went kaput. It would run til it warmed up, then it would die. Had to have it towed by my uncle from Ft. Towson to Moore. Come to find out it was a $15 part that took me 10 minutes to swap....After that year I stopped doing anything except oil changes and now that I have a new vehicle the dealer does everything.</p></blockquote><p></p>
