My rear LH door has finally crapped out.
very nice car

Replaced the original 13 year old drive belt with a new gatornack for $15 off ebay, took like 5 minutes but no longer squeaks when cold in the morning. The original belt was in surprisingly good shape, no cracks.

welp the past couple of weeks were a trip for me.... pulled my intake manifold off three times to replace what i thought was the Bank 1 Knock Sensor according to my ECU which actually was the Bank 2 because some idiot who worked on the car before me decided it would be ok to flip the bank 1 and bank 2 Knock sensor wires around. So the ECU thinks Bank 2 is bank 1 and vice versa, but hey if anyone ever needs there KS or starter replaced i can pull the manifold off and replace the sensors and put it back on within an hour ;3 and i had also replaced my bank 2 02 sensor, and fixed my VSV P0441 code because of a stupid dry vacuum line that kept popping off. overall i have no check engine lights and pass smog again
