SORRY MY MISTAKE...BUT EMISSION PROBLEM IS STILL SOLVED



Sorry about the first message; disregard that one.  I thought it was the 
timing, but it wasn't.

What was wrong with the car was the NOx was too high.  My mechanic checked 
the timing belt and timing (they were fine), next was the O2 Sensor (it was 
fine), next he drilled the CIV to adjust the fuel injection, finally he 
changed the t-stat (it was bad and needed to be replaced), he also added a 
quart of antifreeze.  The total came to $279 plus tax (I guess it was mostly 
labor).  Well I am glad that the car passed inspection (HC, CO, and NOx now 
read zero).  The car also runs better (feels more peppy).  Next job is to fix 
the cruise control, drivers side door lock, maybe the fuel pump (is it worth 
it?), A/C (again...is it worth it?), and the electrical quirks (sports 
transmission light, passengers side window switch, clock illumination, 
cigarette light illumination, heated seat illumination, and a couple other 
switches in that area (I forget which ones).  Any suggestions???
