1991 Acura Integra GS 1.8L Slight misfire VIN: JH4DA9370M
Thanks for the good replies. The fix was the O2 sensor, which is wierd, because 1) there's usually a check engine light and 2) it wasn't really acting like the sensore was bad. It was more like what a couple of you suggested -- EGR ports plugged. But at leas...

1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS 3.2L cams VIN: 4S2CK58W8X
This truck is fixed but still a little mystery exists. This engine is a DOHC. Both cams on each head are turned by a separate shaft. That shaft goes through the head and the cam gear is attached to that. If you do a timing belt, all you have to do is bring it ...

1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 3.0L Timing belt tensioner VIN: JN1RZ26A2L
Thanks for all the input, Nissan has chosen to walk on the entire deal and so I will take care of the customer! About 2500 clams out of pocket...however we have the power to influence many customers buying decisions and I like that power!
