Not really....but the dealer around here wants nearly $300! I need to search the junkyards soon! I'm not going to buy another Ford built car. The wires in this car have been crap and have all rotted! Now this VCT problem with 300$ parts that can crap out at any time because of oil is just another nail in my coffin. And that's not all I've delt with this year. I've had to replace the steering system, blinker swith, fixed many water leaks because of weak plastic. My headlights look yellowish and nasty. I've had to have new wires from the battery put in and a new starter. I'm sure I'm leaving many parts out that I've replaced and none of them have been cheap other than the brakes. I'm going to ride this car out and then move on to one of those jap cars.

Abuse that my neon couldn't handle and neither could either of my acuras. I have't had any wiring problems either. ATX MTX swap, rear drum disc swap, drilled rotors, ported intake, optim throttle body, CAI, 7.5L MAF, adj. fuel regulator, longtube headers, underdrive pulley, no EGR, low inpedence bigger injectors, 2002 Focus Swap
