I started my own thread in the 1998 section but your replies have been great - sorry to clog the thread about something On Topic The car passed emissions within the past two months so an SAS pump should be clear. PCV should be interesting as from what I know with regular driving, good oil and decent gas the PCV should be fine, the PCV on our 2000 NA hit 325,000 kms ( 201, 946 miles ) on it's original system. Thanks for clarifying on the lines / location - at the end of the day it is a $3000, 17 year old car and I expect to replace parts here and there but I'd rather not walk into a rescue case.
