Le Horreur!

My car suddenly decided to die on me...

It started jerking and bucking like a raging bronco. Whenever I braked or slowed down, the revs started going really low and if i turned on the AC it would just die. Even with pedal to the metal, the car just refused to move and was shaking and dying.

I drove it carefully to the mechanic and after a half day of checking, he suspected it was the fuel pump. It costs 900 to change the fuel pump! I asked him if he was sure, but he said that he couldn't guarantee it was the fuel pump, but that he had checked out all other things that could be checked.

So i gave him the go ahead, only to be told a few hours later that the problem is still there! And to make things worse, they found water in my fuel tank... After draining the fuel tank and refueling, the problem was STILL there! Then he called around 6:30 and said that they managed to find one problem, the ignition coil. So tomorrow he is going to try to replace it with a spare ignition coil that he has and see if it makes things better.

I just wasted 900 changing the fuel pump which didn't fix anything, now i might have to change the ignition coil, and the labour charges...etc. I am having a bad 3 days right now...gaaaaah
