We are still in Little River California...

We are still in Little River California. (Mendocino)

Our Suburban has been broken down for the past two months. We have had several mechanics trying to figure out the problem... its get up and go got up and went.



We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, put in new plugs, coil wire, distributor cap and rotor, replaced the EGR Valve and the air intake valve on the side of the throttle body. Its been checked of vacuum leaks and the catalitic converter has been cut off to see if the power would increase.... I had it towed yesterday to a transmission shop as one mechanic thought it could be the torq converter. As the shop mechanic revved up the engine the fan flew off of the water pump and into the radiator! After removing the debris he was able to ascertain that the problem is not transmission related so we are back to square one not knowing what the problem is.

It has now been suggested that we check the electrical ignition module in the distributor and the coil.

During this two months we have been graced to use two different vehicles and we are still staying at the Seafoam Lodge that I have made a website for.

Assuming we can find the right part to fix on our rig it looks like we will need at least $750 for parts. Several friends have helped me with the labor at no charge.

Valerie and I have been thanking God in the midst of this trial as we know it is helping to refine our faith!

We need wisdom and God's grace. We either need the where with all to fix the Suburban or for God to give us another vehicle.
