CL-

Hey, my car didnt start, so i took it to the dealer...

I just got a call from paragon acura, and they told me my computer and the fuel relay needs to be replaced.. and it would cost me $912.00


I'm very upset cos I think the last shop i gave it to fucked up the car cos when I took it there was working fine.


I'm so fucking pissed....

That sux man, i bet you have no way to prove that it was working and then stopped. That's real beat you have to pay $900 for someone elses fuck up. Gotta love stupid mechanics

i would have them replace the relay first to make sure that isnt the problem.. also most of that cost is for the computer.. theres alot of places that rebuild the computer and resell them for around 150$ with a 1 year guarantee. see if you can find one and have them install it. eather way something smells fishy with thier diagnosis.

I've read that the ecu hardware is next to bullet-proof. They must have put some current into it or something.

this should work for you.

what year is your cl?cause the 97's have seperate tranny computers, and the 98/99's have them integraded into the main ecu.

the story is pretty sad... They're charging me $2200 for a water pump timing belt and some damn sensiors and the computer and a fual relay and ofcource the fucking labor.. the guy at acura said he would give me $200 off.... I dont if I should do this or not the car is a 98' 3.0..Thats a alot money but I need it for work/chill/school..


after the work.. I'm going to sell the car for $7300 obo.. you think that a good price.
