So, this is what the shop gave me. I basically went it becuase the car was shutting down every time I came to a stop. That is where the BG service came in, but I have read its not that effective. They showed me where it looks pretty black inside the intake manifold, so does anyone know of a cheaper, effective method besides the BG?

Also, Anyone know where I can find a new radiator, o2 sensor, and thermostat that wont cost me a fortune?

The master and slave cylinders are something I might worry about in the future, because they kind of made it seam like it really wasn't a big deal and just wanted some more money.

I have no experience with buying a radiator or 02 so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Any other symptoms? All of those things can be found at Majestic honda if you're looking OEM.

WOw talk about about over charging....

Find a different shop. Is your car over heating? Is your clutch system leaking fluid? Do you have CELs? It looks like they have no clue how to fix your stalling problem or they are just gouging you for money.

Dont overlook slave and master cylinders, i burned out a brand new clutch in 4 months because of a crappy slave, $1200 lost because of an $80 part

go to your local section and post who maintains others cars for reasonable price, im sure they have 1 or 2 reputable s2k shops around. use them, not a regular mechanic

Thanks, I will check this out. I don't exactly care if I go OEM for the radiator, I just want a good one at a lower price... but I'm not sure OEM may be my best bet for that.

I took it to this shop to see if there was something I was over looking. I plan on doing all the repairs myself as I always have on all my cars. I did have a CEL also, sorry forgot to mention that. This was on because the engine was overheating. They showed me the radiator, and it is indeed leaking fluid. The clutch fluid was a little low, but I didn't see it leaking anywhere. I'm sure they are over charging on everything, but they definitely pointed out some stuff I overlooked. They also wanted to replace my spark plugs which have about 10 miles on them... so maybe they were also looking for an extra quick buck.

I don't plan on over looking it, but thanks for the heads up! It is just last on my list out of all these things to get done. i.e. not unimportant, just least important right now.

I'll be sure and do that, mostly just to make others aware what these guys charge.

Anyone know where I can get an 02 sensor for less than like 150 bucks?
