jimg is correct.. In that the shotgun approach is expensive and ineffective as you have now found out. The other approach of buying a carb, intake, and distributor can also be troublesome and ineffective if not done correctly, and really does not address the issue, and keep in mind that if you simply put a carb and distributor on, other systems may come into play and need dealt with such as fuel pump, or other systems that are controlled via ECM. As jimg said, these are really simple systems, but few people really understand them, thus the tendency to just start throwing sensors, egr valves, etc at them, leading to hundreds of $$ wasted, and not addressing the issue. I wish I had $1 for every time I have heard the term "it's probably just a sensor". Most times they have no basis, but since they do not know how the system actually works, they assume the unknown. But, I have seen that same approach with old carburetor based systems as well where folks would rebuild a carb, plug wires, points, etc and still not help the issue ultimately finding something like a bad vacuum hose, fuel pump, or any number of things. Find out what codes are stored, if any, and determine items that can be eliminated based on what has been already replaced, and post what you know and someone will likely be able to help. Don't get me wrong, I have made the same expensive mistake of throwing parts at them in the past, and it is very easy to start down that path.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th ... [Read Article]
