For months now, every time I leave my car sit for a few days it has problems starting.....especially after a rain. If I would leave it sit in the sun until the afternoon, the car would start up very rough for about 2 minutes...then act normal......
Well, two weeks ago, it finally decided to not start at all......just keeps turning over but not starting. So I gave in and had it towed to the dealer. They just gave me the bad news.... they said I need a new Ignitor and an ECU. They want $1200 to do the job. I told them forget it, paid $80 for the diagnosis and had it towed home.....
Now it is sitting in my driveway and I am debating what to do. What do you think? The car has 125K miles and otherwise is in good condition.
Here are some of my thoughts:
1) Donate it to charity and get a tax write-off
2) find used or refurb parts (ignitor & ECU) and replace them myself....but where to I locate these parts for cheap $$?????
3) try to sell it?
What would you do?
