You will be pleased to know I got my Ford Taurus running. It was a vacuum system leak. A hose between the engine and a little canister in the back. But they don't make or sell the little clip to connect the hose anymore, obselete part.
So I got that part and and alternator for my Kia Rio in my first ever junkyard experience. It went well however I learned some junk yards are way cleaner and more organized than others.
Getting the alternator involved a loader/forklift driver and old tires and rims to serve as jackstands.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of after he lifted it.
