Just saved quite a but by changing my own fuel pump. In the next few days, I will be adjusting my clutch, and next week will be replacing the Idle Air Control valve. If anyone is interested, I can post pictures with detailed directions on how to accomplish these fairly cheap, but necessary maintenance's.
The fuel pump cost me a total of 25$ - 14 for the pump (motorcraft), and the removal tools ($10 at any auto zone). The cheapest the maintenance shop would take was $75. Adjusting the clutch would cost me about the same if not more. So instead, you could accomplish the same thing with a few basic tools, and some time. That's over $150 savings in two basic maintenance's that would have been a little over $250 originally.
Also, if anyone wants a Guinea pig for anything else let me know. I have time coming up, and am having a lot of fun with all this.
