Ok, for almost a month, my car would die all of time when I stopped. After all of this, my starter's end cracked off. I had push it to a lot of a famous repair place. So, I had them look at it, they called. The said I needed a new batteery, then a starter. For looking at it and a $99 battery, the total was up to $157. To put a new starter on the cost would've been $401. I told them how much for a starter? They said the cheapest was $245. I flat out said, no and I can buy one myself and put it on. Well, today, I put on the starter, for $54, filedall the spark plugs with a wire brush so they were shiney again, and, I found a vaccun hose was broken off. So, I cut the hose and re-connected it, re-installed the spark plugs, and the car runs like new again! My question is...Am I that knowedgable to know how to fig certain problems on my own cars? I spent $200 something, as apposed to $401 for some place to NOT fix my car. What does anyone think?
Pontiac Bonneville 1995...I fixed my car, but why is it running better now?
