See meesta teem... your WRONG and your right also... The cool part is, that Baha Fresh has effectively bridged the gap between "fast food" and "resturant food" YES... baha is freeking sweet ( and another one of my SoCal holdovers) But it doesnt qualify as fast food. IMO fast food must have some sort of walk-up or drive-thru window.... And Baha lacks this. Allbeit amazing mexi food... It simply outclasses Del Taco for what it does NOT have ( a drive thru window ) If we want to have an effective argument about where to buy the "best" mexi fast food, then lets compare rotors to rotors and hold up Taco Bell/ Taco Time/ Del taco ect....

funtimes in the stertegic fast food analysis marketplace!

Another catergory all together.... thats more like quasi-authentic tiajuana food....

But.. I LIKE it! lets have roaming taco meets.... follow the roach coach! i want me some flautas!!!

So, did you call Jerry this morning and ask about the cost for replacing the FPD? It is possible it isn't that, but that is the most likely culprit. Do a search and see if there is something else that it might be.

If it is the FPD that is a pretty easy fix... just a couple of open end wrenches.

Yeah, I called jerry and he quoted me $2000. 5 hours in labor just to get in and find the problem. + parts to replace + 3-5 hours just to put it back together at $90 an hour... :


So anyways I don't have that kind of money and I did a cost analysis and right now it is costing me $400+ a month just for my car to sit in my driveway. I don't have the energy to fix this or the time and money. I think I may just get a new car... so I will post my car in the for sale but I don't think I am going to wait long...

Blueshift, that sounds very high, even doing your numbers for the hours he provided 10 hours of labor (5 to get it on, 5 to get it off) at $90 = $900, then a new fuel pulsation damper is like $100 (and to have your injectors replaced can't be much more while he is in there). If you want I will have my extra set of injector back soon and they can be refurb'ed by witchhunter for like $18 each and the only other fuel related item that I think it could be under there is the fuel regulator (I don't know the cost of it, but I don't imagine it can be much more than the FPD). Well there is 1 more fuel related item, fuel lines, but they aren't that expensive. Alternatively, maybe you can get the parts and round up someone on here familiar with it to help you. I would volunteer, but I haven't worked on this part of the car myself.

I don't know, that is just what Jerry told me. It felt like getting slapped in the face and I am now feeling really depressed.

Chris, I'm sorry to hear the bad news! I understand the whole getting slapped in the face part...trust me! Seriously though, it's a buyer's market at the moment. There are some FDs that have been on the market for a while and still are. It may cost you just as much to have it sitting there waiting for a buyer.

Let's have a fundraiser to benefit your car. =]
