After 1 month and $250 dollars

MadFish · March 17, 2003

I have had a bad engine miss for the last month. But, I had a problem with the hood not opening. I finally got it to open and replaced the latch cable. It was stretched out and wouldnt let the hood release. After that was fixed, I replaced the cap, rotor, spark pulgs, spark plug wires. Now, she runs like new.

I just hope no damage was done to the motor with me driving it for a month on 7 cylinders a couple times a day, and sometimes only 6 cylinders. But, it was my only mode of transportation. Its been threw a lot worse though. So, Im sure no damage was done.

Glad you got it running good again!!! Maybe you oughta throw a new air filter element at it and make it a complete tune-up!!!

You sound like a NASCAR driver.

That's the first time I've heard "It lost a cylinder" in a real-world situation.

Yeah, she didnt sound to healthy. My exhuast pipes are filled with gas and carbon. So, its time to clean the out today. Im going to clean my K&N filter. Im sure it needs to be cleaned. I just didnt have time yesterday.
