Post by: machine on November 15, 2004, 02:50:29 AM: Well, it does worry me.
I just got it back from thr dealer, and they just put in a new
stater, and flywheel.
So I would think that they would have timed it right?
What else could it be?

BTY; It's only done it once since I got it back from the dealer???

Hummmm???? :?:

I get the same results.
