Though this was replaced the vehicle sat for 6-7 months because the turbo-charger had to be replaced. Turbo-charger was replaced in jan. Of 1998. Also, alternator replaced in jan.1999. Car is hesitant to engage in d and r and has trouble shifting between 25-40 MPH. When car stalled at intersection, took to shop and said fuel wasn't getting to engine and thru injectors, so car acted like it was out of gas. Driver's seat support broke while car was parked. …”
