searched with no luck
i have a starting problem. i know most of you will go and tell me to SEARCH first but i tried that. almost all of the results were cars that didn't start, true, but my car hasn't been sitting like most of those cars that don't start.
i came outside to warm up my car before i checked the oil. now, my car usually bogs down on the first and sometimes second startup and the third time is a charm. this time i let the first startup bog down, the second startup i lightly tapped the gas to keep the car alive but when i let off it died. the third startup i didn't use any gas at all and it idled like a champ.
i let it idle for maybe about 5 minutes when i shut it down and checked my oil level. i added more oil and checked the dipstick again. then i checked my drop-in K&N air filter and i was thinking of cleaning it but i decided to just drop it back in and do it later tonight. now after that, i put everything back together. i didn't touch anything else and i tried to start it :eek: it wouldn't start. my bro tried to help me figure out what was going on but no luck. my friend took me to baxter's to pick up some new spark plugs and :eek: i don't have the right tools to take out the old spark plugs. on the spark plug box there's a picture of a tool i don't have and i think i need it to remove the plugs. is there a special tool needed for a simple spark plug removal and installation??
and what else should i look for to check why my car all of the sudden stopped working. any help is great. sorry this post is so long and thanks in advance.
