A friend of mine installed it. I don't think he ever wants to see it again. It gave him a hell of a time.lol From my experiences working on it I don't blame him one bit. It has a 100,000 mile warranty. I'm gonna take it to either a local import mechanic or the dealer in a town about 50 miles away to have it looked at. I can't believe this would happen 4k in and right after my original motor went at 117k. I thought maybe since it has to warm up first I'd be able to salvage it. I honestly just want to get rid of it now. I had a hard time trusting it before but now it's definitely gone once it's running ok again. I'm just trying to get an idea what I'm up against. I'm all ready in the hole from giving it second chance at life. The warranty pays around $50 dollars an hour labor. I'm sure the dealer or any other good shop will charge more than that so I'll be out even more.Still open to suggestions though.
Thanks,
