Bonneville SE 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

Electronic distributor short caused cylinders to miss fire. another attempt at an overcharge by dealer, book calls for an hour, I replaced it myself in 5 minutes, removed two screws, unplugged distributor, plugged in new one (easily accessible), replaced two screws....done. GM applies the screws on the cost of the part, about $100. Dealer charge to do this work is ABSURD....good bye GM...Hello Honda---parts that don't fail due to poor engineering or shoddy workmanship! Bought 2nd Honda in 2 years! One happy car guy, Now! (a daughter is still driving our 1994 Accord EX 185,000 miles, runs great, looks great, no problems/properly maintained---Buy a Honda--Be Happy!)
