My car is running with no issues now and I feel such a relief. It hasn't been a month yet so longevity is the next test. I think it will last for a while for sure if not the lifetime warranty on the work will definitely pay off. It is a little pricey but a brand new one will cost around $500. What sold me was the limited lifetime warranty that it comes with, that is what gave me peace of mind.
Thank you so much!
