Hey! Wow, thanks for the response! Fortunately, the check engine light is not on and there are no stored codes. As far as the stuff you said about the O sensor... how do I go about doing that(in layman's terms if at all possible)? :D Thanks again for the reply!

if i wiggle my thing enough, the light stays on... but if i let go it shuts off haha. do i have to take the column apart? :nono: thanks again for all the help!

Hi guys, I would like to get my car registered but I got an epic fail on my smog test and have no idea where to start... was wondering if you could look at the numbers and see if you have any clue as to what I should do haha. test/c02/02/HC/CO/NO 15mph/14.1/.8/166/.29/985/FAIL...

Hello all, My headlights don't seem to want to stay on... I'm guessing a connection is loose somewheres. You guys have any idea where I should start looking? If I signal or even hit a bump in the road or something they just shut off on me... Ok, thanks in advance!

Just wondering how involved this is or if you guys have any tips when doing this? I've never done this before, and I know diddly squat about cars, so if there's anything I should know, please give me a heads up :] Anyway, thanks in advance...!

yea, as far as the valv cover bolts go, i guess i'll go and replace them. but i'm still confused as to what the pep boys guy was talking about. he wanted to charge me $70.00 for the valve cover gasket. I asked him if that was the price for a pair, and he said the car only has 1 valve cover...

Hello! Sorry guys... I just realized I'm probably gonna be posting a jillion things... should I be consolidating these posts?? Anyway, when the car is running, a weird noise(among others) seems to be coming from the passenger side. I can't really describe the sound, but it sounds...

Hello! I checked my clutcher master cylinder thinggy and there was no fluid in it. I'll be honest, I have no idea when I checked it last. I know... I'm a jerk :( Anyway, I was wondering if ya'll knew what the problem might be... or how I check for problems? Alright, thanks in...

Howdy..! I took my car into pep boys and they said they'll look for your leaks for $30... and since my car seems to leave a good amount of oil all over my driveway, I decided to try it out... They came back and told me I'm leaking from my valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and the cam &...

well, they all sparked... :O gah, i'm pretty sure it's electrical :( i guess as soon as i get my hands on a voltmeter i'll check the resistances of the wires. shoot, well, thanks a lot for all the help guys! you all know a wee bit too much about these cars... it's freakin me out...

well, i guess ill get to that later :( so for this :: ahem :: spark test.... you remove all the plugs then attach them to the spark plug wires?? and then crank it? that seems like a bad idea... or do i remove one at a time?? last time i just stuck a screwdriver in the boot... but...

hrm... this is getting sweet. there's a lil connector lookin thing by the power steering fluid reservoir and it snapped off the wiring harness... super brittle... sweet. can i just, uh, solder it back on?? OT: how much would a new wiring harness + install set me back? :\

for the spark test... it says to remove the solenoid resistor and cold start injector connector.... what do they look like and where can i find them? :]

hrm.... so ya think there's something going between the coil pack and ecu??? the problem is intermittent and i normally get the code while driving. after the car goes bonkers i'll pull over and... and when i try to start the car again, i get zilch :( egad!! car's are confusing :O

hrm.... so like, the pins on the connectors seem side on both sides... should i stick like, a voltmeter on there and check it out? what numbers should i be getting? what's a voltmeter anyway? ;] i don't know why i keep driving the darn thing... i keep getting myself stranded in the...
