[ryannel2003]

It's been an extremely quiet month for the Seville (knock on the beautiful Zebrano wood of course). The car continues to impress with it's power, elegant bodystyle, and it's ride. I continue to enjoy driving this car, and all of my friends and family are impressed with the car. I'm still nitpicky over the crappily assembled interior, which does not fit well in a car costing $53k in 2000.

My only issues this month was a mysterious stalling, which happened a few months back in the same exact spot on the road. I've also experienced a loss of power only once, and I'm attributing both to the crankshaft position sensors, though it has thrown up no codes. My car still has the 60MPH vibration, though I'm getting new tires thrown on soon so I'll get a good road force balance and alignment to hopefully solve both. Of course, I still get a random "Service Theft System" a couple of times a day, which I attribute to a small electrical short that I'm not paying to fix. It doesn't harm the car, and restarting the car always fixes it.

Within the next month, I'm getting a new intake plenum, fuel pressure regulator, possible CKP's, a cleaned throttle body, a re-adjusted drivers door striker, new intermediate shaft bearing installed, new tires with RFB and alignment, and I'll probably go ahead and get some new spark plugs and spark plug boots thrown into the mix; i'll also get my dealer to adjust my glovebox, which is terribly misaligned. In the springtime, I plan on getting a transmission flush w/ filter, a recharged A/C. I'm getting my passenger side headlight polished professionally, getting a few dents fixed, and touching up some paint. After this, the car should be in showroom shape.
