Yea that's what I been reading. Just wanted some opinions thanks. I'd rather spend the money and get a good one and do it right. Then to save some money and have to do it again. Thanks again....

It either works or it doesn't. Go OEM.

Ac delco it is. It needs to be replaced car is running like crap. I've had this problem b4 with the stock opti. Replaced it In march with one from pepboys. Ran good for away then a hose from my water pump leaked all over The opti. And having same symptoms as b4. Im not to worried bout buying a ac delco even tho I already replaced it in march. Reason been is cause I didn't pay for the opti lol. The cashier was to busy talking to another employee and forgot to scan it. She put it in bag with the plugs and I grabbed it and walked out lol. Saved me 250. So I'm not to worried bout buying ac delco. Thanks everybody....

Where I come from that's called stealing. Pretty ragged of you to not pay.

Anyway, good luck with the AC Delco. I'm sure it will work fine.

Yea you're right, it is still pretty funny though. I can't tell you how many times I've caught cashiers messing up, usually it is in my favor. I know at most places if they sell and item but give out the wrong money that **** can come out of their pay if they got a dick manager. The fact that she didn't even ring it up means no one will know who to blame, which I guess is better.

Yea well she messed up the first time, and then messed up the second time. She was talking the whole time I was waiting for her to scan my stuff.
Amazon I didn't even think of that. Maybe next time I'll check there....
