TimTaylor751647545500 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 A buddy of mine got an $850 estimate to change the plugs, wires and distributor on his Sentra since it was dying on him, so I told him I'd do it to save him some money. The estimate was done by Goodyear on Schrock where he and his family have taken their cars to for years, so I'm basically just going off what they diagnosed the trouble to be. The car would turn over (newer battery and starter), but would not fire. Replaced plugs, wires and the distributor and the same issue. Turns over fine, but no spark. Any thoughts?

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Ricky, but Goodyear has agreed to look further into the issue and they paid to have it towed back to their shop. No longer my headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hmm, they weren't that nice when they told my sister her SES light and oil pressure light were just a computer error. I mean, they didn't pay to have the motor replaced when it finally locked from having a bad oil pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
