You are SO right. Anyone who wants to play in the home mechanic game has got to pay (although less than at a paid mechanic). Moral of the story is, if you want to keep a 3rd gen on the road...and you want to be able to fix almost anything on these cars, you better have deep pockets or reserve money ready for repairs...to be done...the right way. Or else it'll just cost you more time and money in the end.
Pretty much most of the guys on this board aren't broke, they've spent thousands on their cars, but their thousands go a long way because they do it themselves. Now I see why you all say to do ALL the injectors at once with new OEM. It makes sense. At first I thought it was a waste of money, but it's not. I can imagine a world where the originals start to go out one by one month after month.
And doing repairs unexpectedly in the winter would not be fun.
