Hello everyone please help. If anyone has a CA20E that they do not need please let me know where you are located and if you want any monetary compensation for it? I have only owned my car for about 3 years and have spent about $5,000 on it and it still doesn't run! I rebuilt the engine in 2010 and shortly after the exhaust manifold cracked. I let the car sit for about a year before someone from this awesome forumn had one and I bought it. I replaced the gaskets, bolts and manifold and was stoked! About 4 months after getting my car on the road and running now I needed to pass smog. I bought a new catalytic converter and paid all dues at the DMV. Now shortly after this my engine starts acting up again. I don't know what it is but the engine starts rough, the sad thing is that the engine is out of warranty and I am stuck again. I had a mechanic look at it and he said that one of the cylinders is not firing and possibly a faulty ignition system. Please help and I apologize in advance if I have violated the forumn rules with an improper post. Thank you

Mine crapped out, so I am looking for one in good working condition.

Ideally from somewhere north-east or Canada to limit shipping cost, but I know parts are much more abundant on the west-shore of the states... I'll take one from there if nobody from the east have one.

Must be willing to ship to Canada, will pay with paypal.

The car runs but very rough. The battery is now dead and the car won't turn over anymore.

Could you find one from a s13 locally? It's cheaper and just a minor wiring difference.
