    Spark plug change-Won't stay started

    So I am not sure yet what the deal is, I fixed a huge boost leak and the car began to run a lot better with NGK coppers installed, but it still had a slight miss.

I was checking out the heat ranges, but couldn't find any platinums in any posts that were a step cooler than the NGK 5275's. Does anyone know the next cooler...

    Losing Heat, Temp Guage Fluctuating

    So, my temp guage is acting funny where I can be driving for a half hour and it will not move, then all of a sudden it will jump to normal level, half way and I will regain heat in the car. Then it will go back down and it will pump out cold air. Does this seem like it could be a stuck...

    Testing Coils

    So, I checked my timing today, because my car has been running like crap. I couldn't believe how off it was, it wasn't even anywhere near the timing numbers.

    Strange Exhaust Leak-Back Of Engine??

    I have a strange exhaust leak coming near the back of the engine, what can this be? The guy working on my car said it looks like it might have something to do with the egr system (at least that is what I think I remember him saying, egr) and that the engine would have to be raised to get it at...
