Optis definatly goin out, how long will it last me?

well, i hate to run my car on this pos, but i dont have the money to help it...

my problem seems to only get worse as i drive it, it stumbles in low rpms, and backfires, stumbles more then it used to,

rpm range is increasing too...

now its up to like 3k instead of 2k

well im just wondering i'll have the money in a month but will it last me that long?

you definitely have an ignition problem. I would take your car to get it diagnosed. I know it cost $70, but u will find out what exactly is wrong with it. Do you have aftermarket wires or plugs or anything like headers or anything. I changed my opti a couple weeks ago and the cars ran like a dream, till i started burning plug wires and cutting them, because of poor routing. my car was backfiring because of the screwed up plug wires. I would check those out first, cuz my car was running like crap. Hesitation, backfire, rough idle, shaking all because of plug wires. Now I just have some wierd *** noise on the passenger side. This advice is coming from someone who has spent 210 bucks in diagnoses fees from two different dealers in the past 3 weeks to find out what the problem was twice. One was opti and plug wires, the second was plug wires. Sorry for the novel. Just trying to help. -Michael
