Decided to start it off. No better way than the epic last post of the old one! Starting off with my ABS module swap ambitions...

I am unsure if I can do a VSS and am debating the ABS myself, but Oil Filter is still a go.
Here's all you need to fix the ABS yourself:

my suggestion-if you really don't want to/can't afford to send it out, remove the case and open it yourself, then take it to a place with a soldering station--say a small PC repair guy, and have them go over the solder joints. He'll probably charge you $10.00-$20.00. It'll literally take 5 minutes. The work is getting the ABS module opened up. You have to exercise great care in splitting the case, which is why I'd recommend sending it out, but if you want to DIY, this is how to do it.
I like this post.
Well, the ABS is doing the Intermittent thing, also speedo drop-outs. I have had readings of code P1633 and P0722. I am tempted to either A. Do what is suggested here (assuming it is still that E-5 Torx socket,) or B. Buy this and replace it with what I have, reinstall, and send out my old one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...atchlink:top:en (socket included)
I have changed spark plugs and I can do an oil change, so, I am fairly certain I can do this. I could buy this, take a day, put it in, and mail off the old one.. $100 for the part (reman, certified) including the socket.. I could mail back my old, drive it, and see if everything is good.
Recommended? Thank you!

I get paid tomorrow, so I may be able to actually get this thing orderded and in the mail tomorrow.. maybe a Friday or Saturday fix=it for the ABS!
This car is driving "Tina" (lol guys. Hehe, my diva-ish friend. I love it. She is good people, though, serious.. board levity) to Western Mass next week (rehearsal,) "a town bordering Boston" the end of October for a concert, Kennebunkport, ME sometime in November for a wedding and a certain nearby T stop, every morning.. with the option of grocery-getting/trips to Boston/wherever else in the meantime. We get around. OH, and almost forgot trip to CT about the same time as Western Mass but a weekend trip that is... See? Volvo. So, yes, it would be $100 well spent. And no trips to a computer guy that could say no...
