    God dang man I gotta tell ya the next time I buy from a private seller I’m gonna give it one hell of a look over from the little I’ve already learned rofl Plug up my code reader to the car, but first enter in the make and model for the reader to tell me exactly where the plug in for it is

    I changed 3 spark plugs so far, but I’ve got one that’s... idfk man I put the spark plug socket on it and it just didn’t catch after a few attempts to loosen it

    Lastly, I didn’t know what coil packs really were (the part that connects to the speak plug... right? o_O) They are seriously fuggeddddd

    Slow is fast. If the plugs don't feel like they're threading out easily, work it back and forth, little by little. #8 on my old 360 took over 5 minutes for me to get it out.

    Thanks; my #2 cylinder is the one that’s apparently bad, but they all look a little worn so far

    Tomorrow is new coil packs because uh, well, they somehow melted a little on top :oops:

    Plugs aren't terrible. I've seen worse. I'd be willing to bet those melted coils are probably the reason for the misfire.

    Some weird dude worked on the car because he used 1 screw, 1 nut that’s a different size and the rest are the same size nuts but smaller, or they don’t have anything fastening the coil packs down rofl wouldn’t ya know I don’t have a wrench small enough for the rest of them

    I just can’t break that plug loose, it’s not giving me any resistance when I start to turn the socket

    Well I’m done until tomorrow, enjoy your nights’

    Well hell one more post; here’s all the codes I ran into and I’m praying to the car Jesus that the “system too rich” code has something to do with the bad spark plug :D
