Re: Trouble Code 43
Thanks Jerry. May I ask where you got the valve springs and how much did it
cost you? Or was it the freebies that the company sent you? TIA.

Re: Trouble Code 43
The only source I was certain had the improved valve springs was the dealer,
so that's where I bought them. I forget how much they were but valve
springs in general are not expensive. While you're in there, you might as
well replace the valve stem oil seals too, they're inexpensive.

Re: Trouble Code 43
The only source I was certain had the improved valve springs was the dealer,
so that's where I bought them. I forget how much they were but valve
springs in general are not expensive. While you're in there, you might as
well replace the valve stem oil seals too, they're inexpensive.
