He's bailed my ass out more than just the twice I've referenced. Saved me more than 10 bucks in the long run. Lowest bidder is a great idea, right up until it actually costs you more in the end. That's my advice, and I won't even charge you for it.
**** I'll throw the $10 in your paypal for the advice! After all.... it is priceless!

I deal with rock auto all the time. some of their pricing is excellent. some parts are not. they ship from different locations so shipping costs can be onerous. I f they ship the wrong part they do correct it but it takes time. If the pricing seems really good, and it is, and you re order, you may find the price has gone up. that happens often.
control arms? FE5? Kick ass price. soft product. ships steel instead of alloy. fixes that. cant fix bending arms.

off to CED if you want to be sure.
is all.

I've certainly used and will continue to use Rock Auto, no doubt. But on a part I can get from both Tom or Rock Auto with only a 10 buck difference I'm going to go to Tom. That's all I'm saying.

I'm having this problem. Car has about 51k miles on it. Just had the plugs changed thinking maybe that was it. My idle is a bit rough (shakes) but it drives just fine. I do have HPT and can log the car. Is there something specific I should be looking for if I do log to see if maybe these solenoids are my problem?

silverSS08, was your problem these solenoids or the other internal parts?
