[PIGEON1]

Well I just had to spend some more on the car today. I was driving from Belleville to Trenton last night and the car began to buck violently. The gf thought I was horsing around till I pulled over.

I poped the hood and began the inspection with a flash light (1230pm) When I touched the wiring for the mass air flow the car stalled out. I looked closer and found that the black orange wire to the wiring harness had corroded and broke free. Needless to say I gave here the old RED GREEN treatment and got her home.

I just took it to FORD and they told me they could do it for $375 (labour and parts) or I can just order the repair kit for $79.11 and do it myself. I will be doing it myself since I do that stuff everyday at work. The sh**y thing is all the repair kit has is the six pin connector and two inches for colour codeded wire on it. I've got to cut and splice the new connector into the old harness.


Part comes in tomorrow (so they say) and will do the repair tomorrow night and see how the old beast runs after that.

Repairs to date:

1. EGR tube from manifold $114.74
2. front right strut $80.00
3. Mass air flow sensor harness $79.11

grand total of: $273.85 in one year last car cost me $2939.33 in it's last year
