95 Trans Am spark plug stuck not stripped, maybe rusted shut, and feul promblems I have 1995 Trans am Auto with shift kit
well i buaght it and the gas gauge didnt work, so i took out the fuel pump the medal part was out of the sender, then i stick it in back in and it looks like its working, well the very next day my car runs low on gas, i could tell it was because it kept stalling at aceleration, and i could smell gas (i have a trap door feul pump access and i didnt put it back yet) so i feel it up with premium gas, like i do 90 percent of the time, and the car feels better than it usauly does, so the next day i go out i put new hoses for the pump, i take it for a test drive and she feels awsome, till i get like 12 miles away and she starts stalling at aceration, i tell my father and he says she probaly needs a tune up, so that night i check one plug and the airfilter, the airfiter, has leaves dirt, maybe sand, so we get a K&N airfilter and some NGK spark plugs the next day, so the day after that which is Sunday, i start working on it, i already have one of the spark plugs on the driver side out, it takes me like 2minutes to do the next two, right after telling my step mom about my icredcilbe speed, i come across one that i cant get off, and ive been stuck on it scince sunday
its number 7 i think, the one under the exasut manifold with the steering columm next to it
its not stripped, i know this becuz it just wont move, its also hard to get a socket on it but when i do, i cant get it off, i pulled a muscle trying to, today i got some BB Blaster soaked it in it wiated 15 mins nothing
i started taking the exasut manifold off to try to get more room
also about the stalling before i mess with anything on the car, on the way home the car stalled
i drove 269 miles home from buying the car, most on the interstate, i put 93 octane it it, take the ttops off because me and Weasel both wanted to, and kept going car drove like a dream, well we got cold pulled over and drove into this lil town that smelt like cow crap, and put it on them back, then drove three miles back to the intersate took off down the ramp, she stalled taking then stalled 5 times then, i didnt have a problem scine i got off i20 and stalled at the Kroger right on fiarburn road
untill i started messing with the fuel pump and
so two Questions:
First and more importantly, how do i get that spark plug off?
and whats wrong with my fuel system?
and to add, when my car is running it runs like realy good so whens its healthy its realy healthy
the gas gauge still deosnt work and niether does the fuel
gauge car reads low oil has a leak but doesn have low oil
also on the way home fromt he test drive i limped my car home for 7 miles and the top off the engine was puffing white smoke (i thought because off over heating) the car was acting like my 2000 v6 i used to had would when the MAss airflow sensor went out but not as bad
im new sorry if i posted this wrong or this is a repost, i searched but i coulda over looked it lol

Try loosening/removing it from the bottom/underneath the car ..same goes for the other side...good luck, something tells me it will still stall once you get done with plugs ...are you gaping the plugs?

Man 900/1500 thats .6 HP per dollar!
420/5000 Im looking at .08 HP per dollar with my build
But just keep working it back and forth and using the PB blaster. We have used it on boat motors that were seized up and after a few days we broke them loose its pretty serious stuff.
