Random stalling upon starting
Rev at 3k for a min and it stays on.
New hood x2 new windshield lol
Back rotors and brakes
Ps seems to dissapear every two weeks.

What is a man to do when he just loves the way the car feels.
Is she savable
1998 CL v6
Nyc roads ouchhhh

 

Im sure she is, What is wrong exactly? you listed a bunch of things you fixed??? Sounds like you need to do some tinkering or take it to a shop if you cant fix the idle. Id start by reading the codes, most likely with your issues it should be throwing some kind of codes... Depends how much more money and time you are planning on putting into it, usually i weigh the money i put into a car and how much i can sell it for, or if i plan on running it into the ground, but im a mechanic so i can fix anything so my cars will never die.

 

I've spent so much time and $ getting mine the way it should be that I lost count. You're going to have to weigh your love of the car vs the time and $ it's gonna take to get her right. I'm happy I stuck it out with mine for sure. I get a lot of compliments on mine, people can't believe it's a 1999 model. But it didn't happen overnight. Good luck!!

 

No it now has that rattle and the shutting off at start up. Also the odometer doesnt work but the trip odometer does. The car when cold wont really move like it should.

 

No cel

 

If it slips like crazy when cold then it's a trans issue, if it's stalling randomly then that's your TPS (throttle position sensor)

I've sunk well over 20K into my car getting it to be where I want it, that's the main reason I've held onto it for 12 years

 

Thanks
