[Shotimes] Got a problem....totally off the wall Long, so you'll have nofollow up questions

[Carl Prochilo]

I look at it more like this.  In the amount of time you've had this
problem and tortured yourself over what it might be, in about 30
minute or so you should at least have the KOEO codes.  The KOER
codes are a little tougher to get because the procedure has to be
followed to the letter but very doable.  And trust me, counting
flashing lights ain't no big thang.

For me, intimidated is good word on some big job that I've never
done before.  I am going to force myself though to pull the struts
out myself.  I have the service manual and have seen most of the
work done before, so it shouldn't be too bad.  The big difference
between this and the codes though is that this job will take more
than 30 minutes to do.  : )  I've watched DonD do this on my car and
he goes through this with almost pit stop like effeciency because
he's done it many times before and knows all the steps by rote.

So as they say, "just do it!".
