Found something very wrong on first tune up lol
 
Well i heard the previous owner say he ran it on synthetic .... first thing i did was change all the fluids all synthetic except just regular castrol in the engine.
Now after going through just about everything except the plugs/wires. I ordered some, well today i found something half-assed lmao. PO said he just had new wires/plugs put on. Take a look at this :scratch:

Found a pair of Leadings in the front rotor and a pair of Trailings in the rear rotor of one of my cars... Some people just don't get it.

Lol mint, guys full of shit just wanted to sell the car.

And to think it would have taken 30sec to remove the plugs when he said that.

lim_fc3c 02-26-10 12:18 PM

Yeah main reason i snagged the car, its clean. I dont mind wrenchin on stuff and the price was right. The car didnt want to idle, so i thought easy fix, but looking at a new tps... holy crap, so i tested the resistance of the bac and the tps and passed with flying colors pluged everything back in and it idle just fine, bad contact!!! woot. But for some reason i think the 5th-6th ports are stuck, this car is WAY slow... MORE BAY SHOTS lol
