Car Troubles & A Meme
Dec. 5th, 2005 11:55 amYesterday, while coming up the hill over SR509 that heads south from Seattle, we're driving along and the engine suddenly loses about a quarter of its power and the blinking "Service Engine Soon" light comes on. After a minute the light begins to steady and the car seems to be okay, but the power doesn't recover.
So I take it into the shop and they tell me that the electronic alternator is going, the oxygen sensor needs to be replaced, and I need a complete set of ignition coils and wires. Parts, labor, and diagnosis was outrageously expensive, but they'll let me put it up on a three-months, same-as-cash, have-a-discount plan. I guess we'll survive.
Bleah.
( Hell with it. Have a Meme. )
