    I'm gonna kill my car!!!

    God this thing is really starting to piss me off........
    First, the head gasket blew out.
    Repalced the gasket and the head all at once. ($454)
    Adjusted the valve lash and everything was peachy for a few days.
    Speedo sensor died.
    Repalced that. (free)
    Good so far for a few more days.
    Check engine light comes on again.
    Then engine develops a knock and looses power.
    CEL code reads MAP sensor.
    Replaced that today. ($187)
    Now the CEL code shows Heated O2 sensor is bad....
    Had just replaced that before the head gasket went. ($80)

    I'm really starting to detest this car. When you don't have a lot of money to use on things, it get's really old really fast fixing nit picky things.....

    Interesting first post...... Crap occurs on older cars. Don't worry about it. If the cars not worth it to you, get rid of it.

        That's just it. It's my only set of runnign wheels. And I'm still paying for it. It's certainly not leaving me with a positive experience.......

            our cars always have problems, but just take of each problem at a time and try to stick with it...i've dropped a deep amnt into my car just to keep it running...and so far its been worth it.

                  **sigh**
                  I know.....but it's so damn frustrating!! My other car is 21 yrs old and yes the engine died, but, I killed it intentionally. Besides that, I've only replaced a starter. I changed trannys in it but only because i wanted to. The original was perfectly fine. It seems when I make some sort of progress on this car, it knocks me back further than where i started. Really frustrating..........

                    How about this

                    Engine knock, oil leak, no resivior for the wiper fluid, terrible body rust, gear shift sticks in park and I have to turn the car off to use the key to unlock it, drivers side door lock doesn't work, and there is a musty smell when the heat is on from when the last owner left the windows down in the rain, and my CV joints are going bad, and the breaks need replaced . . I think thats it . . .
