thanks for all replies. my mechanic is actually awesome. i go to him becasue he is so cheap and knows pretyy much everything about cars (except the pressure problem i had

) Plus, he charges like less than half of a shop to do it. He has a regular job during the day and does this on the side. He used to build race cars for his brother and race them on dirt. I had the right upper tie rod replaced, an electric fan installed, timing changed, and somthing else can't remember for 130 bucks including parts. i gave him like 150 anyways. Only bad part is that he keep sthe car for a few days while workin between his job and that!

as for doin it myself, I should start trying that, but it is hard to find certain parts of the car if you dont know what they look like. for example, starter and fuel pump relay switch. 2 simple things, but wouldnt know where to find them or what they look like.
i could always go to the shop, get an estimate, then email how to do it here and then try it. Maybe i will next major problem! Thanks-
