Addiction, I am wondering if your car had an engine replacement after '01. You should check the service records or try and match the engine serial number. If you had an engine replacement, PCNA my be liable to fix it.
I don't mean to jack this thread, but I saw a post you made on Renntech about an X at the end of the serial number meaning it was replaced. Did you get an answer as to whether that's true or not? Once I get the serial number how can I tell when the motor is from? Thanks!
