Hopefully the subject title hasn't sounded too daunting but I recently picked up a '99 9-3 with 86K for $1000. Since I've owned it, only about a month, I've gone ahead and replaced the ball joints, tie rods, front struts, front brake pads, cv joints, and I'm even going to put a new cd player in there (the last owner gutted his aftermarket system). There are a few issues I've run into and I was hoping to get some insight into possible remedies for these issues.
1. When I start or put it into gear, it sometimes shakes a bit. But when i'm driving there is not issues.
2. When stopped at a light, the car has stalled out on me as it kind of heaves forward. (O2 Sensor issue?)
My 9-3 is an automatic and has run great since I've had it. Obviously I plan to put some miles on considering the repairs I've conducted.
Lastly I would like to ask if anybody has replaced an oil pan on this car. I had some brake issues and the tow guy cracked my oil pan pretty good. Thanks.
