What owners wrote
While driving engine compartent caught on fire. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the fire. Please provide further information.
Continuous issues with the pcv/egr since vehicle purchase in 1998. Spent over $1200 attempting to resolve the problem. Both independent and dealer mechanics have been involved with no success. The cel light has been on for over three years now because I no longer wished to spend money diagnosing this problem.
