Hello Alkodiak167,
There are always great reasons
NOT to take your car to a
DEALER... ESPECIALLY after 20 years
(of faithful service)... I think DEALERS
HATE old cars.
AFTER 10 YEARS... Dealers (in my opinion) comic book
approach... doesn't help a
real mechanical issue...
As to running around an CLEANING GROUND connections:
Wouldn't that be WONDERFUL...
If you want to CONTINUE that BOONDOGGLE...
FREE DRAWINGS and
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS are available (USA market) at BBB Industries website... (see below).
Registration is required... as these are real drawings.
If you want to save
money... and
time... check around
for a
FREE DIAGNOSTIC reads... Muffler-shops,
service station and AUTO-PARTS houses (AUTOZONE?).
Keep in mind... If your
OXYGEN SENSORS are
REPORTING any issues... NEW OXYGENS SENSORS
will likely ALSO report the same trouble(s).
Vague GENERALITIES to follow:
Engines are all about fire & fuel... and
ARM YOURSELF with a few facts... stabbing at
solutions (while typically cheaper than going to a DEALER)
spends bountiful time and money... usually wasting a lot of good
OXYGEN SENSORS in the process...
When you see
OXYGEN SENSORS in the diagnostic results... Look for a clogged exhaust (muffler and/or catalytic converter).
You can trouble shoot the
OLD FASHIONED way... pressure check, finally toss in a few filters... BUT WHY do you WANT
TO INGORE a perfectly good
ON-BOARD-DIAGNOSTIC
system...??
