Had you not said that you were going to do it, I would have done it myself, just so that someone finally did it. However since then:

I paid to have my timing belt replaced: $901+
I bought three factory hoses: $572+
Two different shops performed diagnoses: $145
I replaced my spark plugs, wires, and knock sensor: $160
Finishing my dad's fence is indefinitely postponed, which was money that I was expecting. After my finals tomorrow, I will do a compression check, and if my bad cylinders have a leak, I will go to the nearer Pep Boys for them to do their voodoo.

My dad is offering to loan me his F150 and if I can get Bacon running, I will drive up and swap.

Air Conditioning!

So, what is your current plan, if it will give you a better improvement than a Kammback?
Those prices remind me of the Volvo xc70 that I'm all to happy to no longer own..
