ok... CPO is up in FEB... so i gotta get some last minute things fixed before she's all mine to care for.

What do you recommend i keep lying around the house in order to fix a problem when it happens?

I was assuming to get a coil pack? Keep that lying around?

never use the parts you buy ahead of time. It always works that way

alms_lefko

to get to me? and i wont want to drive the car then...

i just mean things like that.. like maybe thats the ONE thing to keep on hand?

Maybe theres one or two more?

gh0st

I guess you could. I'd rather just pay the $20 to overnight it as I've never had a coilpack go bad
