The TSB for the plug wires and plugs was for the 2004 PT but if you are
still under 3/36 the wires will be covered "BREWERPAUL" > wrote in message ... > > > >You should post what yr your vehicle is if you want to know about the latest > >TSB's, > > Forgot that: it's an '03 > > ****************************** > Got wood? > Check out my exotic hardwood pennywhistles at fair > prices...http://www.Busmanwhistles.com > > |

I have a 2001. I just had my mechanic change the plugs at 30,000. His labor
charge was $45, the dealer wanted $115. Was there a SB stating that the plugs in the 2001 causing a problem? The dealer also wanted $75 to change the power steering fluid. I opted out on this seeing that I couldn't find this reccomended service in the owner's manual at any mileage. |

Is it possible that a throttle body cleaning would remedy this problem?
