i just had the exact same type of symptoms. turns out one of my plug wires was broken and a piece of it was still on the plug when you pull it out. Got new wires, plug, rotor and cap, and all of a sudden it went away.

coolant fluid darkening

air freshener

wheres the best place for an air freshener? Just next to the shifter? Hanging from the mirror? Is there like a secret out there like putting it in the glove box because the a/c will suck air from there and then circulate it easily? What do you guys think?

I really doubt it's a swap. My cover says right in the middle DOHC. Why, did all 93's come as SOHC? At checkers I told the guy my info and he said there were two gaskets. One for DOHC and another, not specified. So am I right to go get the DOHC?

I saw a replacement gasket and its pretty thin. Do I just cover that whole thing with form-a-gasket? Is it okay if extra seeps on the insid...
