Ahh...sadly, I'm just a old working guy and was not able to get my car running. As you said it is "my money" and I'd like to hold onto it, but my XFire is my only vehicle, a desire to enjoy before I'm gone. And I had to let the mechanics take it and fix it. There are other things that I have done, like the "sticky key" fix and new headlights. But, alas, I am unable to do somethings. Thank you all for the encouragement and I continue to learn more everyday and enjoy your postings.
