alphagtp Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Well, after parking my car for about two years I finally had the money, time and courage to take it in to a shop to get looked at. I took it in on Saturday but they won't look at it until Monday. Monday came and they called me saying that it could be the ignition coil pack, they installed it and wala! its running again. Total was $250! only if I knew it was something that simple....I now need to look into the transmission problem. I will post some pictures of how it sits right now later, the fron bumper is even worse now because it broke when putting the car on the tow dolly . How is everybody doing? any news? LOL Quote

94 olds vert Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Welcome back. Looking forward to pictures of the GP. Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 $250 for coils and ICM? Steep! But glad you're back up and running! Quote
jake91 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 $250 for coils and ICM? Steep! But glad you're back up and running! idk when i went to autozone they wanted $90 for the icm $60 for the coils. so figure the shop probably charged a hour of labor for the 10 minutes it took to change at around $60 an hour thats seems about right Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 But usually the ICM and all 3 coils don't die at the same time. Either way, I guess cheap compared to some of the things it could have been Quote
jake91 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 correct but this is a shop. everything always goes at once if you take it to a shop. took mine to a shop and it somehow had 4 bad wheel bearings, but when i checked it at home it only had one bad one. its funny how that seems to happen once it goes through their doors Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 I wasn't trying to argue anything, just that in my opinion on the surface level of the issue, I thought it was more than I'd be willing to pay /threadcrapping Quote
Twenty Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 ...waiting for Breakdown to provide another epic summary of the forum members' activities and happenings. Welcome back! Quote
