What's an ECTS? I might need to go ahead and replace that b/f it goes out. I also need to do the timing chain...I *think* that it still has the original one in there. Kinda scary since it's an interference motor.

The best part about it was that I noticed a big gain in gas mileage. Weird, but true.
