Replace the valve cover gasket as well if you can. They are neglected all the time in those cars. As for 129k that is nothing I sold mine over the summer and it was just shy of 300k and ran like a champ still.(mine was only a two owner though)
its a four cylinder.. as soon as you get on it its going to sound bad with an exhaust.. unless you get a really long resonator
Temp Sensor? Details? As far as the Ignition coil it makes sense because it's at any random time after the car has ran for a while (and is warmed up).
Yeah I am putting a long resonator on it. Replacing the stock cat with a high flow cat and a new muffler everything is going to be brand new stainless steel from exhaust manifold back. I believe it comes with a silencer for the muffler so if it ends up annoying I'll throw that on.
That's the plan eventually I am going to do some body work and make her look prime again.
Dont bother doing any exhaust or performance work to it, its a slow *** economy car. Spend your money on appearance and subs. The temp sensor will shut the car down if it gets too hot or isnt working right on some cars, same with the oil pressure sensor. Some cars will not even start if the oil is too thin. Every time i buy a fuel injected car or a friend does i replace all the FI sensors starting with the cheapest first. It will cost a good chunk of change but you wanna fix the part on your time, not on its time.
