I'm afraid this V8 probably just has too many problems for me to try to keep
it right now. I know the timing belt should be done, but I don't even want
to bother with it if the transmission is just going to go out soon anyway
(vibrating/grinding sort of noise comes from under the car on
acceleration). Plus the CAT light is flashing, the "check engine" light
comes on at idle, the "ABS OFF" light is usually on, and the "AIRBAG" light
comes on randomly. Oh, and none of the buttons above the radio work, so I
can't turn the foglights, rear window defroster, ABS, etc., on or off, and
the only way to roll the windows up/down is from the driver's seat (the
lock/unlock button doesn't work).
I want to get another V8 eventually, but I'll want it to be in much better
condition and have a 5spd. For now, I'm thinking of getting this:
