And this has got to be the worst alt. change i have ever done!!!!!!

---

No way!! Have fun with it. I've got to change out a leaking oil pan and all O2 sensors. I'd rather do an alternator than the damn O2's.

---

Ok so now here is the kicker the wires for one of my o2's right at the harness were frayed so i go and tape up all one at a time. Then i get back to the alt. after noticing i ruined and had to change mega fuse. i was going to do the alt. wiring fix pulled on the wire to get a little slack and it keeps coming till i get a frayed end of it. I figuyre i better chase the end of it down so i can tape it up right? Well i get to where the alt. wires come off the main harness and what do i find?? The green wire off the alt. plug is frayed and still havent found the end of the red wire. So then i cut open the big harness to find nothing but wire insulation(sp) and bare wires everywhere. I don't know what to do now!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just really sucks. I'm kicking myself in the ass over and over now for getting this car. if i do all this and get it going i'll never be able to get rid of it i'll have too much in it and well i guess a pretty well new car too!!!!!!

You always get to a point where you've gotta make a decision...do I keep it and prepare to put some money into it or do I sell it and let someone else do it Thats up to you put seeing that you've already got a Saturn, go and check out the Aura XR and remember this, bring your title with you so you don't have to wait so long to get yourself into it because that car rocks





...or you could buy yourself and used EVO

Keeping a decent used car running is almost always cheaper than getting a new car. Say $500 in repairs and it goes good for 6 months vs. $300-$600 a month for a new car.

---

Your opinion don't count.....you have kept everything you have bought.

Icy, I'll come pick it up Saturday. Just leave the keys under the seat and the title in the glove box. You won't even have to wave goodbye.

Title good luck lol i owe more than anyone would want to on this car. Hell i still have almost 2 yrs left to pay on it I'm trying to get ford to cover it under the recall because of the manufacture date of the car but i cant get anyone important on the phone with cust service I went ahead and ordered the harness i need from bill and it is supposed to be here tomorrow better be cause i paid like 40 extra bucks for overnight!!!! so i guess bright and early i'll be fixing it up and roger the car should be like new by the time you get to drive it. oh and as far as the EVO thing goes. I'd be all over it if i wasn't over my head on this car. and the wife says that the next car will be an automatic for her and then i can have the saturn so i don't know. Checking prices also they are still a lil pricey for me i have a 4 month old and money isn't the greatest but it is a 4dr no i'll wait till my tour is paid for or kicks the bucket totally then look the mitsu way
