This isn’t related to my other thread. I fixed that LONG ago. And why would I pay someone to do it for me when I can do it myself (with the help of some folks who don’t mind helping) and save on the labor costs? Most shops charge at least $80/hr for labor. One hour to diagnose, one hour to replace + cost of parts and I’ll be paying MUCH more in the end than I would if I just do it myself (even if I do throw parts at it).
Only part I’ve thrown at this was spark plugs which cost me 30 minutes worth of work ($11). Big deal.
