Sorry all but I'm still having trouble with finding strut/shock boots.  I can get aftermarket ones for about $50 shipped or the OEM ones for about $20 more.   is it worth the extra cash?  I'm stressed because my check engine light came on this morning also.  ARGGGGHH!  Thanks for the previous advice and I could use a little here too.

do a tune up.... find out what the code is on the ECU.... go to www.240sx.org to find out what the code means

thanks all.  You guys/girls are the BEST.  I decided to stick w/ the tirerack boots and just wait a few days longer.  As for my ECU, I'll try and check that when it stops raining.
