dude change it yourself... maybe 5 hours
if you can change a water pump you can do an opti!
I did it, I think even my wife could.
even got a life time warranty on the thing from o'rielys

Re: Bucking, random dying
ok update..i'd figured i'd look at the plug wires one more time...well #7 wire was burn"t
#8 was broke at boot and cut and black taped at cap
#6 was broke as well and smashed under power steering pump and i tugged on wire and it broke in half..
#2 is black taped and was cut by pulley from the way it was routed as well..so i'm sure #4 is the same...had to take a break heading back out and figure out wire alternator has two cut wires one is red with a spade and a broke male end on it broke off and then a black wire cut off some where...they appear to be in the loom with alternator plug..any clue on this?

Well I put almost 140 miles on car since I replaced
plugs and made sure they were tight. Bought new plug
Wires and the car runs clean does not die. Buck fall its face or stumble
No codes. No super rich gases coming from exhaust. And temp stay's
At 190 all the time

This post is a great example of how people should check the basics before assuming some catasphopic failure. I see my nephews do the same thing....
