Attachment 117262,,My " gas saver ",is fixed and up and running now ,so my 2007 GT/CS is back inside ,where it belongs ,its all good now ,things happen ,,parts brake after years on the road ,,my 1989 Escort GT has over 200,000 miles on it ,and at times like this ,,putting a few $ 100 in it now ,will save me more money on gas later ,not having to drive my Mustang all the time ,,MY 2007 GT/CS has only 23,000 on it now ,and I got it new in July of 2007 ,,and i think its cheaper for me to spend money replacing parts on the escort ,not my mustang ,,thanks for looking :salute:.
