John, Not knowing what minor fixes he did, A basic Bosch tune up kit cost $79.00. Solder or fix a wire 5 min. So, you figure if $400.00 is to much. Keep in mind, spending about $75.00 in labor and having a big bill from the shop doesn't make the car run better. You could buy the tools and do the tune up yourself and have the satisfaction you did it and have tools left over along with the experience.

Found out today the mechanic gave it a tune up a new cap, new rotor, new plugs and wires all bosch. But no new O2 sensor, he is going to put a new one on today. But I don't think that is the cause. Thanks for the notes cruzmd I will guide him in that direction. I hope this is not going to cost to much, do to his mistake? By the way is $400 to much for the above mention he did do some very minor fixes, however and a ground wire is broken off from the microswicth throttle quadant. That wouldn't have anything to do with my problem would it? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Free online calendar with sync to Outlook(TM).
