| 2009-11-16 | cindy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | This expert is fantastic. What a wealth of knowledge. Saves my bacon every time. I thank you! |
| 2009-11-13 | rick | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Just as I thought. Just wasn't aware all that had to come off. Thought I might get away with leaving the pump in place if the housing was above the pump. Same for the cm gears. Ah well....The car just had the belt & pump done too.(Thismonth!) |
| 2009-11-09 | Tim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Maion asked me to call him which I did and he was a great help |
| 2009-11-06 | Robert | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Great answer |
| 2009-10-20 | Brian | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks, thats good to know. |
| 2009-10-19 | Brian | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, your answer makes a lot more sense than the Mazda dealer! |
| 2009-10-06 | LYNN | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Fabulous thanks for your help |
| 2009-10-06 | Cindy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your insight and expertise. You are just a godsend to someone like me who's been ripped off my mechanics simply because I'm female. It's reassuring to know there are people out there willing to help. I sincerely appreciate it.

| 2009-08-07 | Kyle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much for your help. The P0421 is apparently for California emissions cars. Basically, it seems I'm screwed if I have to replace the cat because out here in CA none of the regular cats are legal anymore. I will have to get a CARB-legal one (~$450) instead of just a normal one. Ugh. Will try the plugs and wires first! Thank you. |

| 2009-08-06 | Thomas | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I think I figure it out, but as always thank you for your help. |

| 2009-07-03 | Wes | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I want to thank you for your response to my question re: my miata's timing. The blue cover was over the positive line and with it, I was able to run my timing light. I found the timing off, and was able to adust it, which fixed my low power problem. |
| 2009-06-20 | Glen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Not the answer I wanted, but the truth. Thanks |

| 2009-05-19 | George | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Excellent response. Short answer, easy to understand. This is the first time I sent in a question, but plan on using it again. I just saved $28 not buying a gasket I really did not need. Thanks again! George |
