I have a few questions for any of you pontiac guys out there. I just got off the phone with the repair shop about my fiances car. It is a 98 pontiac sunfire that has around 140,xxx miles on it. It turns out that it needed quite a few things done to it to get it running again so we are fixing them in steps. Today it is getting a new valve cover seal, thermostat, and tune-up basically because I don't have the time with school starting. The mech told me that it also has a stored code for the crank sensor and the cam sensor basically due to the fact that it has been hard starting some times. My questions are these:
1) Would these two sensors be something that could easily be replaced if I had a manual for the car, some basic mech skills and some basic tools?
2) Does anyone have any good sites to order from or would it be just as easy to go to the local parts store and order these?
We are getting married in about a year so I would rather do the work myself if i could and save some cash as opposed to spending the roughly 1100.00 the shop wants to charge to fix everything that was initially wrong with the car.
thanks,
chester
