Re: got my car fixed yet agian

the bad plugs and wires maybe? I don't know, back in fall of 98 i had to get a new coil and with that the cap and rotor was done also. Then only 2-3 months later the car started acting up again. The cap and rotor was shot already, they were both an off brand, wells i think. so I went and got ac delco cap and rotor and it was fine since. I have gotten a full tune up since, but I took it to the place down the street cuz they have a lift, so I don't know what kind of cap and rotor it is now, but it's still fine.

mother fucker i got my car back and for some reason there is black (carbon or oil) spots ALL OVER MY ENGINE BAY! im like wtf is this shit i have no idea what caused that, and now the car runs soooo rough for instance in park it idles at 600 rpm's and when im at 1k rpms and driving and just tap the gas the rpm's go up to 1200 then i hear a pop and some kind of other noise and the rpm's drop down to 900 the guy told me my car needs major tuning but it can;t be tuned right untill my y-pipe is replaced since its almost in 1/2 now would that cause the car to run that fucking rough?!?

Re: got my car fixed yet agian

I say sell it while you still can,get a new car,even it you cannot aford it,the only way to be happy is to be in debt,get all you want now pay later, or you die and someone else will pay for you.

Once car troubles start they seem to never go away,you would think the car is alive and hates you for missing a car wash,so it starts screwing up just to piss you off.I know all this from experience.

I plan to get my camaro fixed, sell it and buy a new car and start all over again,this usally happens to me on payment 55 of 60.

shit i don't know first my distrubutor cap/rotor got burned out after 2 months (to the point where the msd hooks up to the plug dead center) on the inside is all black and burned looking, then i get the car back after the shop changed those and my plugs (had to bring it to shop since i have no tools and free time) so i get it back and its all fucked up to the point where it now missfires anbd makes a weird noise every like 20 sec and the rpm's drop then it smells like shit and well it caught my carberator on fire (that one sucked) gonna cost 60 bucks for the intake top so i need to get this prob fixed ASAP i need my car to get to work everyday so i talked to the owner of the shop and he said that a plug wire might have popped off so i dunno im gonna check that in the morning if thats the prob im gonna be likw wtf im a moron
