A really easy fix!

My car's little Check Engine Soon light wouldn't go off, so I was kinda worried. It was really under-powered and I was sure something was very wrong with it. Turns out, it was, but best of all, it was a much smaller problem than I thought it would be.
Some oil had found its way into one of the spark plugs and it was causing cylinder number 7 to short itself out. The car said there was something wrong with the transmission too, so he added some trans fluid and it fixed it!
Originally, the estimate for fixing it was $2k, but since the problems ended up being so easy to fix, he only charged $130.
I love it when the Check Engine Soon light doesn't need to come on.
