Post by MX#3 »

You went to Wall-mart, what do you except? Wall-mart is just as terrible as Canadian Tire, if not worse.

turn on your car, and see if the idle is smooth.<BR>check for cracks in pcv valve, and see if there is a vacuum leak
Check out my ride and leave some feedback please!

Wall-mart is horrible and you are right about Canadian tire I can’t find good mechanic so you could get a good service.<BR>Do you know how much the cable is? My pcv is probably leaking because it shaking,is it a big deal or it can wait?<p>[ February 15, 2002: Message edited by: MX3new ]
