ibanez7,
If you can't lead the group will you still be going? I just need to know so we can still setup the smoke show at the begining. If you're still going you can still be the one to stay in contact with me even if you aren't leading the group.

cool, I think my car is fixed... however I still have a couple of HARD SES codes that need to be deleted.

I checked all the spark plugs under the hood and found that the passenger side 2nd cylinder from the back (cant remember the cylinder number), the spark plug wire was loose and not snapped on, so snapped the plug on. I could see this being the culprit. This would cause the misfire, which would lead to the chain of O2 codes.


the car idles good again, and the gas mileage went up... LOL beats the 120miles to a full tank I was getting...


with this being said I can still lead and will be at crystal lake hooters at 8:30
