yeah i got it looked at finally. It was the FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID! It was a mix of that and the valve cover gasket leaking so bad and long that it swelled up the spark plug wires like 3 times the normal size! lol. But yeah, the total repair cost was $980.00.
But all that matters is my car is running MINT and now my next big thing is SURGERY... Also means I'll be unemployed until I am fixed up (around June) and can find another job. Well take care...thanks for all the posts trying to help me out. Thanks for the happy birthday dsmphreak

But yeah, the total repair cost was $980.00 and thanks to the state, i only paid $80.00! Apparently Department of Human Services can pay for your car repairs up to $900! If your car is having problems, I'd check that out if I were u, cause i did lol! But all that matters is my car is running MINT and now my next big thing is SURGERY... Also means I'll be unemployed until I am fixed up (around June) and can find another job. Well take care...thanks for all the posts trying to help me out. Thanks for the happy birthday dsmphreak Thanks for taking my hard earned tax dollars to pay for your car to get fixed. If you can't afford to fix it, you shouldn't own it.

3 questions. A) who the FUCK charges 980 for the aforementioned repairs? B) did they give you lipstick? ( I like to look pretty when I get FUCKED!) and C) why didn't you fix it yourself?? quick hint... have them diagnose it next time, pay a nominal diag fee. then act like you aint got the cheddar to pay (as would have been the case) then turn the wrench yourself. As a former mechanic, I don't like the thought of that, but as a taxpayer, I got a pretty big problem with the state misappropriating my (our) money.

yeah its a little fucked up since we just payed to fix your car and then the motor blew... Guess it wasn't fixed, for just short of a thousand bucks. Good luck paying someone $100 to replace your piston rings, do you have any clue what kinda job that is.
