Just Had My Engine Rebuilt
I've heard a lot of horror stories where it lasts for a week. I'm really nervous now because the guy gave it back to me with a code P305, random mis-fire on cylinder 5. It's erratic now. Sometimes it runs fine, and others it mis-fires big time.
Does anyone know of a success story with an engine rebuild?

Thanks guys. Yeah, he insists that he's just a mechanical guy and doesn't deal with electrical issues. This one HAS to be electrical because it's intermittent. I'm thinking it's something like an ignition coil, or maybe just a loose ground wire.
The guy wouldn't fix the problem, but I got him to pay for the diagnosis at the dealer. So I'm hoping it's something simple...I agreed to pay for the part.
But I am scared to keep it. Then what do I do, sell it to someone and let them know you're taking a risk. Maybe you'll have a good car for a few years, or maybe it'll die in 6 months.
