Downeast Johnny Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) For once all I want to do is put gas in it and get me from point a to point b. Well... I might put some big ol speakers in it. I need my loud music Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thats the way I looked at mine for the first two weeks, but then it needed wiper blades and I checked the plugs, (Most worn I've ever seen). New set of iridiums and I swear it gained 5 to 10 horses. It's leaking oil bad so I bought a valve cover gasket. Changed the oil. Gonna need at least two tires next spring. Serpentine belt is looking a little shabby so that and the valve cover gasket is tomorrow's project. Then I found stainless long tube header for it on ebay. Hmm. So I'm thinking I was getting 30 MPG before I changed the plugs and I know she's doing better now. Wonder what I could get it to do? Check out this poor old iridium plug. No idea how many miles on it. Edited August 30, 2014 by Downeast Johnny (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianVRss Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nah, just a sunfire 2.2L 5speed stick. I ran it for two years before checking my plugs... It started idling rough, turns out they had no more electrode left haha. Those plugs look pretty bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It is the worst I've seen in a vehicle that I own, John. Funny thing is, I didn't think the car was running all that badly till I changed them out. The gap was nearly double what spec called for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked her up today. Runs great. Slight oil leak on the valve cover. Easy fix. And the rear turn signals and brake lights don't work. Third brake light does work though. Bulbs are good and front turn signals work. Time for some diagnosing. Hopefully a easy fix.
