What owners wrote

Engine manifold cracked, causing the vehicle to make a loud noise. Dealer says exhaust header needs to be replaced.

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.

Reported at 48,000 miles, December 1998
