Some of you may remember a few months ago, I came hear for some help with my 20 year old Dodge Shadow..
Well, I still could not figure out what was wrong with it. I replaced lots of parts, brought it into a mechanic, and he even had no clue what was wrong. He said that it could be the computer (ECM). However, they dont make them anymore for that model.
So I was able to find an ECM from a 93 Plymouth Sundance. My mechanic put that in, and still no dice. He told me that the car is running rich, and perhaps there is a valve stuck open somewhere.. but after searching the car high and low, we could not figure out the problem.
I would have liked to keep the car, and figure out just what the heck was wrong with it. But I have an apartment, and no space to keep the car. So I sold it for 200 dollars.
So, now I have a new car! This past weekend, I bought a 2005 Pontiac Pursuit (also known as a G5). only 51,000 km's, i bought it from a large Ford Dealer, and was able to get myself a good deal on it.
