I have had time to reflect on the time this "mechanic " had my van. He knew there was a short to ground, he knew I replaced all the sensors. The last 4 days he kept saying the TPS was raising hell with the computer, WELL knowing what he knew, wouldn't the next step to be , track backwards from the TPS and look for the short?>???? LOL And he said today the heater blower motor doesn't work. WTF does that have to do with the engine running LOL........

And the radio didn't work. Funny thing is, 2 days prior I replaced the heater blower resistor. He messed with the fuses again and didn't push the heater blower motor fuzz back in all the way. The radio , It worked fine 2 days prior. He pulled that part of the dash and forgot to plug back IN ONE OF THE PLUGS. chezzzzzzzzzzzzz than, HE HAd HIS DAD THERE, WHO IS A BONIFIED MECHANIC, and he started questioning what I did , and his dad stood up and was listening to everything I said real close. Then I said, one thing I learned from this is , never buy a car from a mechanic. My acquaintance, mechanic friend said HEY, and we laughed and his dad was gone. He had no idea what was wrong and had to bring in his dad to fix my van. When I called their bluff, all the sudden it seemed to be fixed after he did what I suggested was the prob from the get go................

I will keep in touch with him, but he will never work on another of my rides again..........

I worked on it 5 weeks I took it to tyhe shop and after 3.5hours he calls and says , get your ass down here. We are going to figure these grimlin out. Well after replacing the TPS AGAIN, it was new put fried form the problem. The prob was the POS I bought this from did some wiring repairs and when he was putting it back together he got the TPS wires, there are 3 of them, he didn't see they was laying on top of the coil pack mounting bracket, and tighten down the coil pack and smashed those wires. They were shorted to bare metal, UN FRIGGION REAL, A wire was touching steel and through the whole damn van out of wack. The Buss system they call it is all tied together, If ONE LITTLE wire is shorted to ground nothing works. Anyway we both looked down when he pulled the coil pack and said NO SHITTTTTTTTT, He threw up his hands and left for 30 minutes then came back and we got er running. He said this van kicked his ass, did mine too. A stinking wire. Now I know..... Already sold, now I can collect. chezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I am so relieved,,,,,,,,,,,,,THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Green Mr. Green
