On the way to the shootout my car took a dump. Got it home but it has a real bad miss in it. I am getting drunk and later I plan to go outside and smash the **** out of it with a axe. Every time I get this car running right it starts again with the problems. Man am I tired of this crap.

that sucks man. how far away from the shootout are you? if you can limp it there i'm sure there would be plenty of help available.

Well I got it home with one bad miss. Acts like its not firing on one cylinder. I pluuled the wires one at a time at the coil and it lagged down on each one. I pulled a couple of the easy plugs and they look ok. Tommorow morning I will pull them all out and see if any look bad. Hard to say. Thr car has all new sensors except the crank. Dont know if that would cause the problem. Since I took the air of its a little easier to get at the plugs on that side. Tommorow I will know more. Only othe thing would be some sensor and I dont know where to start with that. Oh Well Tom

What kind of food you thinking of. Mexican food? Enchiladas? Are you coming to town soon? Santa Rosa is not too far. Nice town. There's lots of good food here. Let me know on that steering box, curious to see how that works out.
