I'm glad the shop has the time to see it once, diagnose the problem then make me take the thing back to fix the problem. I don't have time for it.

oil pressure sensor, V-Tec Cam adjuster. I'm actually not sure the cam adjuster was bad as the symptoms (limp mode) was only cured after oil sensor replacement. The sensor was a ~ $50 part while the cam adjuster was an order of magnitude more expensive. I’m clearly in the “devil you know" territory with this car. |
