Alright. Got the car all fixed up. New E-brake, radiator, rotors resurfaced, and some other small things that added up to over $700. As soon as we left the mechanics place, found a new problem. When driving it, the car bucks and jerks and smokes. My dad thinks its a fuel line problem or something. Not quite sure. Any help is appreciated. After this, I starting to think its not worth having this car :( . It seems after we fix something, there is another problem headbang . cuss

i hear you on getting sick of repairs, notice my sig. as for your car, do you have oil on your plugs? you should run the self ecu paper clip test, to see if there are any codes being displayed.

It sounds like you need to ask the mechanics what else they did. If you are getting an engine misfire and the CHECK ENGINE light is not illuminating, the problem is in the secondary ignition system: plugs and plug wires. If you do see the CHECK ENGINE light, read the codes.
