I have been a member and have contributed to this site for a few years now. I read topics on a daily basis and rarely reply anymore. I used to be big in this forum but have tapered away to other priorities in life. But I just wanted to thank everyone else here who has went out on a limb to document things they have done.
This week I changed my front brakes, spark plugs, wires, serpentine belt, and fuel filter. Although I know the basics of these procedures the details were left out. I had no problem finding the answers here.
It is valuable to read topics before you attempt to work on your car. For example I wanted to change the spark plugs but since I read the wires are hard to get off I bought a new set and low and behold destroyed two of them when wrestling them off.
Another example is I was changing my fuel filter and could not find the valve to releive pressure in the system. With the search button I found this.
Thanks again for such documented struggles to prevent others from going through what you guys had too.
$200 in parts from PFYC.com and about 3 hours of my time saved me hundreds of dollars in labor costs.
