I just replace the cap and rotor and inspect every few years, but like I said, maybe I'm just lucky.


Now that I've said that, I expect my sensor to die sortly
Hey that's a pretty good idea to buy a cheapo one and transfer the eye.

If you buy a cheap one, make sure you compare the drive side to the rotor side between your old one and the new one. The cheap ones have been known to be pressed together wrong.

You know for it to randomly be fine like that kinda points at opti like I was saying earlier. Maybe it finally dried out or something. I wasn't the only one who suggested opti either. And the weather patterns right now of cold-warm-cold-warm would create a moist enviroment under the hood...

Everything was fine for a few days then started acting up again. I replaced the o2 sensors since I had them laying sround and its been good since. If it again starts acting up ill start going through everything again haha it all checked out though
