Tune Up results and finds (uh oh)
Today, being that I can't drive for 3 weeks due to surgury on my foot, I decided to put my time and money to good use and did a tune up. First, when I opened the hood, I find that the oil filler cap was SHOT OFF THE FILLER NECK AND IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!! but that was the least of my worries, I also changed the spark plugs and wires, but only to find that every single plug was fouled out and had one of the 4 gaps filled with carbon deposits. The leading plug on the rear rotor was so bad in fact that it was covered in oil and fuel mix. Just writing this up because I don't exactly have anything else to do with my time, and the doc says that I need my foot elevated, so thank god my computer case is on the floor under my desk:D
Edit: my dad :mad: drove my car to the gas station today after taking it to school (he's going to DeVery about 70 miles away) and found that now I am making 25 MPG instead of 15 MPG on the highway, and city will probably be better then 12 MPG (I hope, its getting expensive)
