Don't go to mechanics, parts stores, for advice.. forget it
My car threw a code, started running like hell, using too much gas

The guys at three parts stores argue with me, you don't have a cam position sensor / hall effect switch if you have a distributor... Okay.. but it's right here.. One guy even argued his Haynes manual over the FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL I had with me. He said mine covered too many models. Mine is for that year car ONLY. That model ONLY. His had 14 explanations for E041.. Because it covered every god damned GM made 85-95!!! Mine had one. The right one.

Then everyone is telling me the distributor has to come out to access this thing. I bent a five cent 1/4 inch box end wrench at a 90 angle and got it out with no problem.

Then I went and pulled one from a parts car and it broke.
And those clowns FINALLY FOUND IT AND FIGURED OUT THAT IT EXISTS but want $110 for it.. Cadillac wants $164. The one I pulled cost me $10, I didn't even pay the guy yet, and he says if it's broken come pull another one free. No problem.

IF YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT.. DO IT YOURSELF
I am NO mechanic but this is NOT the first time I've been the only one who managed to get a car right when all of the "professionals" were at a loss.. maybe I need to go into the business.... but I won't.. because I HATE MECHANIC WORK

At least this car tells me exactly what is wrong with it.
If it ever quits running, I press two buttons, it tells me a code, I look it up and blam.. back on the road driving over toyotas and kansans
