The not knowing and trying to solve the problem can run into money. I had a problem on my truck 351 Ford it would not stay running. I posed the question and that had happen to someone with a similar problem, said it was the brain box. $100 or close to it, same thing again. Then I put a new ignition switch on and it was fine. The old cars we knew what it was just by being around them and they were pretty simple. I didn't know anything about fuel injection but I've taken them out and it's not as bad as I thought. I have so many things to replace on the cars we are driving. I bought a special tool to take the clutch and coil off from the air conditioner on a 98 Cavalier. Now my wife has another 99 Cavalier and after filling it with freon the clutch and coil is making the same noise so I’ll have to replace it. I have a water pump to put on the 95 Olds she wants to hold on to plus a master cylinder. If I could put all of that effort into one of the project cars I might see some headway.
I replaced the fuel filter on the 99 Cavalier by the gas tank and I’ll agree it was a job.

I still have scars, cuts, and bruises on my forearms from changing the Honda filter. They put it in the worst possible spot, down under the master cylinder. Like you, I had to borrow a special crow foot line wrench to break the line loose, and even at that I didn't think it would come loose.
New cars are so hard to work on compared to the older ones.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
