Unfortunately my ignition coil pack was bad after just 20 months and 32k miles. It was a new BREMI coil pack when installed, and has no extended warranty offered by BREMI. (wires and plugs were all...

Here's an update on my PS situation for what it's worth. The hard right turning symptoms eventually returned one cold morning, but to a much smaller degree. After locking the wheel to the right a...

Yep, I understand . . .

I know that the post-cat o2 sensors do nothing more than check the efficiency of the cats. I'm just a little confused about why they would be located where they are. Maybe someone that stupid DID get...
