So, its my turn..... my Suby is dead

i went to go pick up my mom at work, and while we were sitting at a light, my car died. nothing spectacular, just some rough vibrating, and..... nothing, kaput.

it wont turn over, but the starter is new, the alternator is new, the bettery is sufficient. it had started and ran perfectly fine an hour before i got to her. a day before, it was vibrating a lil funny, there was an oil leak, and the revs were a little low at idle, so i think it just died of old age. i have been hard on her. oh well, i finally killed her. after a tow home, my mom went out and bought me a Saturn. im right behind BassPlayer and WRXBABY, as far as being a Saturn convert

so, Project Beater L is in the driveway, collecting leaves, and staring at the neighbor across the street. she awaits new parts, as i am not about to get rid of her. i've had her for far too long. if there was ever a time for an engine/tranny swap, this would be it.



anyone got a spare EJ207/JDM 6 speed sitting around?

what!? the L is dead!? crap, this sucks man... What is going on with buch of subies going dead lately man? Mine as this stupid CEL keep on poping up! new plugs to get rid of the P0304 and new fuel filter for the P1445. I just got another one yesterday and about to go get this one pulled. Damn, maybe I should invest in an OBDII scanner... good thing my shop does it for me for free...

Sorry for the hijack... and really sorry about your car... But hey, for what's worth... Just think of how much you paid for the thing. You sure got your money worth!

Might be plugs and wires. Seems to happen on older cars when things are wet or damp outside.
