> Hey everybody.  Very sad to say that I need to sell my van. This is the one I bought in 2009, low original miles, with the black interior panels.  Rebuilt the engine and cooling system shortly after that.  Rebuilt transmission about a year and a half ago. Took it across country twice and lived in it those summers. It's a good van.  Ran really well, but doesn't look worth stealing.

> Something has gone wrong with the new engine recently, that I don't have money to finish fixing. It didn't pass CA smog, so I put about $600 in adjustments, then it failed again for different emissions readings after adjusting. This week, I spent $850 on a new catalytic converter and more adjustments, but only 3 out of 4 readings are right. Mechanic says there's one "unseated valve," and to fix it right means digging in and rebuilding both at the same time. About $2,000 for the shop to do it.
