finally DONE!
I picked up a 99 Cirrus in great shape with 93k on it in July for $500. Loaded, leather, sunroof, great body and interior. The PO thought it had a miss in it and installed 3 computers [still have them], new distributor [thank you], new crank position sensor [thank you again!]. He then figured that it must have jumped time [started on timing belt change]. Found out he was over his head and threw too much money at it. He let it sit, so **** [leaves and twigs] got into the intake. I tore the heads off, lapped valves, re-sealed the valve guides, and re-assembled. Replaced timing belt and water pump. Still didnt start. The PO didn't set the CPS at the right depth to read the crank! Now a killer commuter car that I can get another 100k out of! Dont overlook these JA [Cloud-cars] as good commuter vehicles. I have 238K on my other one with no engine issues. The 2.5 V6 is a great motor.

Thanks man! Not all the motors were good. Stay way from anything with the early 2.7. Transes are finicky. MUST use the +2,+3,or +4 fluid specified! NO LONGER COMPATIBLE WITH DEXRON! I've seen fluids on the shelf that say "compatible", THEY AREN'T! Dexron is too "sticky" for the new trannys. I am going to try to rebuild one this winter and I'll let all know how it goes.

My ex's Integra has been having shifting problems for years. I can't figure out why... The only actual conclusion I could come to was it wasn't the "honda specified " something or another fluid..
Several techs drove it "normal" i drove it "CLUNK" into 2nd and 3rd. Whos training these guys now a days?
