im goin to slap myself REALLY hard if that's the problem! The rotor button looks fine and my 65 yo buddy concurred (age= knowledge). ill swing by napa 1st thing in the AM and grab one up.

This old Coot that knows nothing about cars showed me up that day, when I said, yeah right, a rotor cap. And it even looked fine. I kid you not, I about **** all over myself. Not only that, that was the problem, but that the old guy who can hardley change an auto battery knew what it was, and he said this is the 3 or 4th time it's happened.

Funny you say that, My Savannah(my 2 year old)is running hot too....she has had a fever for 4 days now.
AC is pretty easy in these too, but you need some gauges to do the job right.
Oneluckypops is the AC expert here from what I have read.
Now, go drive it like you stole it!

I knew it was the rotor cap as soon as I read that last night that you hadn't changed it yet. I swear, I read that, and my heart hit the floor and that's when the Hollyyyyyyy **** !!! That's the problem right there !!!

Sorry I didn't suggest it much sooner. I thought I had read it had been changed or I would have damn sure suggested it and told the weird story.

And I bet your rotor looked just freakin fine too didn't it???

And I TOADJA, it was gonna be easy, with a "Why didn't I think of that?"
