My best friends brother, Tom had parked his 2005 Saab early this Spring.
It would not stay running and the shop quoted home anywhere $1000-$4000 to diagnose, and fix the problem.
Being the nice guy I am I offered to repair it.
After some trouble shooting I diagnosed a faulty cam shaft position sensor.
$80 and an hour later part was in and the car ran fine.
Fast forward 4 weeks....
I pull up to Steve's (best friend) house and noticed smoke pouring out of a car, Toms car!!
He stepped inside for 3 minutes and that's all it took for his car to catch fire.
I'm confident that it was no fault of mine.
I'd venture a guess that a mouse built a nest as the car sat for 7 months.
The good news is that Tom does not hold me responsible and that he was not driving when this happened.
Just trying to help a brother out.....darn.
