So, the main problem was fixed by a mechanic I am close friends with about a week ago, when everything started going haywire. So, at the beginning of that day, I was driving. This is the morning of last week's HEAVY downpour in Fort Worth. My car was pointed nose up overnight as the storm began. So, I doubt moisture in the exhaust is the main problem. Anyway, as I started driving that day, it was consistently shaking very aggressively whenever I was idle at a full stop (at any intersections). Enough that the whole car shook, and it jiggled me around, and I am a big guy.
Later on in the day, it refused to start, and I was stranded in the Stock Yards. The mechanic who came charged about $160. And that was all of my emergency funds. He said it was a bit of both. Cylinder synchronization and the computer within the car. Even after he fixed it the bare minimum I could afford to get me from point A to point B- I am now left with the problem of getting a new plug (not sure what to call it; maybe an adapter) for part of the engine compartment that controls AC.
What do you think is the problem? The system computer? or the engine itself?
