This IMS issue seems way too common to ignore in my opinion. Just bought a 2001 with 34K miles and can't deal with the idea of having to pull and find a replacement engine!! The lady I bought it from bought a 2003 with similar miles; hers just blew up!!!!!

These are well engineered race cars......but ooops, sometimes an engineer makes a bad call and hopes the problem goes away....apparently it hasn't.

I gues I'm in the upgrade piece of mind camp......so I can spend more of my time DRIVING!!!
