Maybe you'll get her back for Christmas! I do have to admit, every time I get an email notification that you posted in this thread, I've got to stop what I'm doing and tune in. This thread is worse than a soap opera. I don't know what I'm going to do when you finally get your car back.

Aaron called me this evening and said he'd been talking to some people about this latest issue with my car and the consensus seems to be that those new MSD coils I bought may be the problem. Possibly the whole batch of them are crappy and the one on the #3 cylinder was just the worst of the bunch that had a hard failure. Wouldn't surprise me to find that the rest of them are failing intermittently. I checked around and sure enough, a LOT of people are having problems with failures of those MSD coils. Well, that's just great...
Figures, I gave my stock coils to another guy who had his vanish while his car was at Harwood's shop (must be a Freudian slip, but I swear I always type in "chop" when I try to type "Harwood's shop"), so if those MSD's are the culprit I'm going to have to spring for new coils too.... STOCK GM units this time around. I just dug into my wallet this week to shell out nearly a grand for that AC work.
Dammit..... I swear, every time I think things are looking up, a bird is flying overhead dropping a dump on me.

will MSD or whoever sold them to you refund your money? what about send them back and get a replacement set, then put them on Ebay and try to get some money back out of them....

Unfortunately, with the long time involved in this entire mess, the warranty period has LONG, LONG expired....

Somehow, I just don't think the old saying "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" applies in this case......

In this case, it probably just means Aaron is giving her a bre...um rest.

I heard a rumor that once Aaron gets my car out of there, he's putting up a gate on his driveway........

I thought you were going to say you went up to Aaron's and he had moved, and your car was the only thing left where his shop used to be....

Actually, that wouldn't surprise me, neither. But fortunately his house is right next to the shop.
Hmm, I haven't heard from him today, neither, so maybe his phone has now been disconnected. But I guess I need to call him tomorrow anyway. Seriously, though, I feel like I am then ASKING for bad news. Been more than once I called him or he called me and he told me he had bad news and just put off calling me, hating to have to tell me the news.
I just KNEW I shouldn't have cleaned out the spot in the garage....
