It has 227k miles, the engine is of course a 4L I6, but the engine still runs strong but I believe it needs a new IAC or TPS cause every now and then, especially after short interval starts or not run for days it revs and revs then calms down. The alternator, fuel pump, water pump and front brakes are less than a year old. Currently I am replacing the master cylinder, rear brakes pads and front ball joints.

3.buy a new platform with a good engine and move parts

So my normal shop that does any work on any car I owned, just declined to do any seals on my transmission. Am I living in the freaking twilight zone??! What kind of mechanic declines to do a seal!!! Its a job I could do myself, how the hell can a professional automotive place decline this...Im blown away.
They always give me great prices and work so I never go anywhere else, now im stuck researching. Anybody have any references?
