As suggested by one of my mechanic friends, i got the injector cleaning service. The vibration noises seems to have died down and hopefully stays that way. For my service engine soon light, i was suggested to use catalytic converter cleaner in the fuel but the light is still on. P0430 - is the error...

Thats scary considering the cost it might incur to replace the TCM/valve body assembly. Is this part outside the tranny or inside. i am sure it is not an easy fix for a common man to fix watchi any videos if available. Not sure what was fixed by the first owner on mine as i purchased when it had 152...

which of these three has maximum impact on the engine performance and life. i have been driving with these for over 1000 miles but just wondering about expense. PNP switch, i will take back to the guy who fixed it but worried about other two.

Thanks again for your inputs.
