Ok...Had a pretty good week last week. I took a mini on Friday and my check engine light comes on. Then it starts blinking when I'm going down the road. I'm pretty sure I'm having some cylinder misfires since it had happened to me before, but the problem cleared itself out so I thought maybe I had bought some bad gasonline before. I bought a can of dry gas thinking that would clear it up and the van ran ok for a bit then started to do the same thing again. So I'm thinking it's time to change the boots and plugs and gonna cost me about 400-500$ to fix. Plus I might need the coil too. So I am here in Salem hoping to get my van rolling again by Monday evening. Keeping my fingers crossed....

Ok,I just dont get it.I dont mean to be coming off sounding like a jerk or being smug here,LOL... but,..

You were earlier stating that you are having cash flow problems, which can be understood...But then to pay someone the amount youre paying for changing spark plugs and wires and maybe a coil if you dont have the type of wires that have a coil on each wire? This is something you can do yourself! And save half the money! Doing things like this that are simple and require basic tools is how you can get ahead of bills and improve cash flow, plus save time.This should be a 3 hour job,at the longest,and you can still have a chance of getting a load for or during the weekend.I'm just saying...

Just an example, A month ago, my water pump went out in Charleston, SC, so I deadheaded home and changed it, along with the thermostat, hoses,fan clutch,flushing the radiator.New antifreeze.Including the fuel to go home, I saved $650.00 doing all of this myself.Ford in Charleston wanted $975.00 To change just the water pump,and 2 days to do it.That made the difference in paying bills and not being able to.Just saying..
