I'm glancing around at all the ones they have while I thumb through the book for what I need and notice most are about $3 and very small. I'm thinking, "cool, this will be even cheaper than I thought". I get the part number, find what I need and it's as big as a friggin' oil filter! - LOL On top of that it was $10, which is about what I expected originally; but I couldn't help but chuckle at the size of the darn thing. How many Vs would a VTEC TEC if a VTEC could TEC Vs? The one, the only....FRNKNFORD http://www.westvalleycs.com

Personally, I only put about 1500 miles on it before I found it. The last time I did it chasing down an idle problem that, for some reason has disappeared. · Jon Miconi · Coming Soon! · 01 Cougar · 98 V70R
