Yes, it's a 99. I was 1/2 awake when I made that post.
I have no idea how they diagnosed it, but that was the problem.
I just went ahead and let them do it, $380.00 including tax.
The dealer wanted $340.00 just for the pump! I didn't even ask
them how much the labor would be. lol
Oh well, only the second repair I've ever had on the car, the
other being a new AC condenser that had a small hole in it
from a rock hitting it.
