In the morning Paul took the car in to the shop they fixed a few little problems and had Paul test drive it it drove fine and the check engine light turned off but we were not satisfied that that was the main problem. Mark the guy who fixed the car said that it could be the fuel injector and that it wouldn't show up on the computer as the problem and since are car still had the original and it had over a hundred thousand miles on it it wouldn't hurt to replace it so that's what they did by 3 we were on the road AGAIN the car ran fine the rest of the way and we finally made it home! The moral of the story is we have bad luck with cars on trips and this one will not be making anymore with us!!!Friday, July 11, 2008
The car Trouble that never ends!
The mechanic that we left are car with wasn't able to look at it till Monday. So Monday morning we called to find out what was wrong with the car there response was some oxygen sensor was bad and they replaced it and test drove the car and said it was fixed. We were quite relieved that it wasn't to serious or expensive. So we finished off our vacation and headed home Tuesday morning as planned. We stopped in St. George to pick up our car and drop off the rental. Then 40 miles out of Vegas the car starts chugging just like before. We were frustrated and didn't know what to do. First we called are Mechanic at home and he said that there is usually a bigger problem causing something small like the sensor they replaced and he didn't think we should try to make it home, next we called the guy who fixed are oil leak on the way up and they said we could bring it in but they wouldn't be able to get to it till the morning. So we chugged are way to the exit this time we made it to the first light before it died then we sat in the turn lane for a few lights before it would start again. we were able to chug all the way into the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino were we got a room for the night. The Hotel was really nice and there was lots to do we took the kids to the arcade and had dinner and then retired to the from for the night were the kids crashed out!
In the morning Paul took the car in to the shop they fixed a few little problems and had Paul test drive it it drove fine and the check engine light turned off but we were not satisfied that that was the main problem. Mark the guy who fixed the car said that it could be the fuel injector and that it wouldn't show up on the computer as the problem and since are car still had the original and it had over a hundred thousand miles on it it wouldn't hurt to replace it so that's what they did by 3 we were on the road AGAIN the car ran fine the rest of the way and we finally made it home! The moral of the story is we have bad luck with cars on trips and this one will not be making anymore with us!!!

Oh man I'm sorry you guys had car disasters! I was going to say troubles but it sounded like much more than that- I'm glad you finally made it home.
What did you do make them wait out in the sun they all look like tomatoes.
