So far, you've got less than three hours' and $50 worth of work listed.

This one could be a bit tricky, but otherwise, the stuff above is cake and you know you can handle it.

Unless its the radiator itself, you're looking at a hose. How difficult is that?
Originally posted by burntheblobs Oh and my ECU is shot. Whoopee.
Bad caps? It happens, but you can pick up a new ECU on the 4g63trader, I'm sure.
Keep your head up, Andy. This is the sort of little shit that gets to all of us. It's always hard in your first few months of the DSM turning you into a mechanic, but eventually, you'll get to the point where nothing can go wrong that you can't handle. You'll just not want to spend an afternoon rebuilding your engine.
