I just bought the car knowing it had problems but I got it for a steal. The motor just doesn't want to run and it runs really rough the few times it started. I could probably figure it out but I just don't have the time.

also a cool thing about VTR, they'll work with you and give you a good deal, their not out to scam you. they've done simple stuff for me in the parking lot and didn't charge me for it. my fog lights wouldn't come on even after I replaced the bulbs, and tried looking for a disconnected wire. So i went up there and Les their audio guy just came outside with some wire cutters and extra wire, found the problem and fixed it, no charge. their a good bunch of guys who know alot about cars.

Thanks everyone for the help! Some good news is I found out what some of the problem is, but that is where the good news ends. Pulled #1 spark plug to find that the piston crushed the bottom. It looks like tomorrow after I get off duty I'll be pulling the head off to inspect the extent of the damage.

well i dont know currently, but i have seen a swap that VTR did in the past. throwing all kinds of cool CEL's. told the owner he needed a new map sensor, VSS, some other ****...

helps if you plug the **** in, and the map sensor on a actual vacuum source... took me all of 5seconds to fix, and clear the codes...

and this was a take out old motor and put in the same new motor. not even a conversion.

well I've been going there for about 8 months, and my buddy who referred them to me has been going there for about 3 years. everything we have seen since than was always legit and no problems. maybe the guys working there before didn't know what they were doing, but the guys there now have always been able to give me nothing but good info and work out deals with me when I may not be able to afford everything

VTR is a complete joke.

When I was deployed overseas, my buddy wasn't patient and decided to have VTR do her swap and guess what? Apparently they hire inexperienced mechanics because the swap was a mess.
