engine tuneup
today my car had the check engine light stay on. i realized there comes the problem again.. it ran 75,000 miles all ready, looks like the car is also like a human having trouble when it gets older... anyway, i ended up in tuning up the engine for $150+tax ($162) in c.a.r.s international, guy called aurel fixed it in a matter of an hour.
another interesting thing was, my car has a chip in build, which allows any hand-held auto-scanner to get information about the car if in trouble, it was able to send diagnostic information also, so it is cool.. no need to work on your gut-feeling any more... it had listed 4 errors, misfiring.. all of them.. but he ended up in replacing the spark plug ($6 /each) and the wire and fuel filter... after that i fly like a bird to the office.
