    Yeah ....your engine is a lot simpler than the earlier ones with egr.....
    all that crap is missing and the charcoal purge lines are straight forward.
    Throttle body doesn't have an octopus of lines coming out it....
    And you don't have to take intake plenum off every 150K to scrub out with oven cleaner.....

    Not too keen on the abs....mine dont have that.....
    ....Scotty says trusting that or airbags on vehicles 20yr+ is a gamble...

    Mine has cruise control.......I assume the manuals cant have....
    However if that goes all south.....wounder if your one pedal to TB cable...
    wounld replace my two.......both of which are discontinued......

    Manuals do have cruise control as options. I didn’t think it would have till I found out I had one.

    I really wish I had cruise control. It would be so nice on a long trip.
    I took the motor out about a year ago to graft in a replacement coil spring bucket. The original one was damaged while sitting at a intersection. What you see is the culmination of lots of work. Read the story at this link.
