It has been three weeks now since I've been able to drive my 'tour. Went out to run a few errands in the rain and all of a sudden I was pushing the gas, but she wasn't getting the message. Replaced my spark plugs. Cylinders 2 and 4 were fine. Cylinder 1 was filled with oil and cylinder 3 was bone dry. Finally got my little hands on a volt meter and plan on testing the Variable Camshaft Timing selonoid tomorrow. This sucks. My car is here at school sitting in the same parking spot. And to add insult to injury, I have to walk by her everyday on my way to classes. I hate having people drive me around. I want my 'tour back. Ok. I'm done now. Sorry, needed to vent to somebody.

You'll be testing the VCT tomorrow and will know if it's shot, then you can have it towed to that place. You'll have her back soon. Phil 98 Silver Frost #2059

The place where it's going to be towed asked if she could check the selenoid first, trying to save her some money. Here is what I found: VCT Thanks for offering to help Brian! Maybe she'll send you a PM when she gets off from work tonight. Phil 98 Silver Frost #2059
