I took it out cause it was in the way and forgot to plug it back in. Well what I mean by hearing it is that when the battery dies it stops cranking and all I hear is the clicking. The Maf is plugged in but there's a two wire connector coming out of it not doing anything. Also it did start but it die...

I tried starting it with the throttle wide open and still nothing, also tried jumping ten and ground and getting the fuel pump running. How do I check the timing?

Nope that wasn't it, she still refuses to start. I can smell gas so I don't believe it's that. Cranks good and when the battery gets low I can hear all the plugs firing. It was starting up PERFECTLY before this. What could I have messed up having that 1 wire out of the distributor? Also should menti...

could it just be that the spark plug is flooded and I need to take it out to wait for the gas to evaporate?

I got it. Turns out there were threads on the piece (couldn't see this) and hammering a deep socket in there got it out. Thanks for the help.

I just finished changing the rad cause the old one was leaking. I went to start the car and it started just fine and died about 5 seconds later. I realized I forgot one of the spark plug wires out of the distributor and have since put it back in. Did I damage it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I can't find a screw extractor with a drill bit that I can use an extension with. So I'm thinking of drilling some threads and then firing a screw in there with red loctite.

So do I drill a threads into it first (There arent threads in that little post) and then screw the extractor in by hand counter-clockwise and it should lock in place then I just turn it to get it out?

Yeah I'm not sure, I didn't tighten it down much just snug. After the test it must have pushed the tester against the threads so when twisting it the tube broke I will buy the extractor and give it a shot. Thanks for the help.

is that like an easy out?

So I was running a compression test and then the tester would not come out at all. It broke and this is what I'm left with:



What the heck do I do now?

Yep it did so I decided to run a compression test and the f---ing tester snapped and the end of it is stuck in there. Is there any way I can get it out or do I bring it to a mechanic?

I found a relay (second away from you when sitting in the driver seat). The connector was burned but the inside looked ok. It had 4 wires so am I correct in assuming this is the defrost relay? I'm going to get a new one and a new connector and see how it goes.

If anything I'd like to get the defroster fixed anyways cause in this weather my back window is always frosted. I'll post up some pictures but I have no idea what I'm looking for (I checked the manual and still can't locate the relay).

It's a really clean car and everything is in good condition but when I got my muffler welded on the guy told me that if it's modified for "sound or performance" that would cause an issue. I will take it to get the inspection and see how it turns out I guess.
