Pro-Hawk said:I'm lost...you wished you had a 2.3L instead of a 2.3L to work on
J/K I know, what a crapy joke it was but I couldn't help it I bet thats one of those cars that removing the side fender makes it easier to work on

Red_LX said:Let me put it this way, the 2.3 HSC just plain sucks. I spent 8 hours yesterday replacing the WATER PUMP and still didn't get completley done. I had to remove the upper and lower intake and tie the fuel rail out of the way just to get at the water pump.
Whereas, replacing the water pump on a 2.3L OHC takes 3 hours at MOST.
By the way, I also hate FWD cars. Those guys that actually work on FWD cars must really have some patience...

Ya I spent a few hours on my mom Pontiac once just to change the belt ( water pump, AC etc). I sware you need to have VERY thin hands to work on them cars.
