Alabama thread!

That's strange.

 

I know! Im lost I mean I think its a coil but its just strange for it to just happen all of the sudden. And with no CEL to determine which cylinder is actually misfiring is stopping me from making a definitive conclusion as to what the problem is.

 

Idk I mean with it misfiring it should trip the CEL????

 

Fixed!!!
Stole from another forum
The one I got a Autozone says it's 1-2-3-4-5-6 and comes with a diagram as shown:
-----------------
| 1 _____ 2 |
| 3 _____ 4 |
| 5 _____ 6 |

This had me so messed up it hence the problem.

When in fact it should be like this.

 

Justin, I like that emblem. You need to make sure that you mount it real good. I would hate for it to "fall off" when you are at one of the meets. You should also see what it looks like a little higher to clear a little more of the lights.

One of the first things I learned changing out plug wires was to replace one at a time, that way you never got the order wrong.

 

That sounds like you did get two mixed up. I would look up a diagram for wire location and make sure you didn't get them crossed.

I've always done the same.

 

Glad to see you got it fixed. Because there are so many things that can change from car to car and year to year, I always recommend changing out one plug with wire at a time. That way you can always be sure you don't make a mistake. Diagrams are written by people, and people make mistakes. Glad to hear you got it fixed now!

 

Of course, us old farts were doing it before this new fangled thing they call the interwebs.

 

yeah but you are so old you were prob changing them out back when engines were powered by coal....

 

Steam baby, that's the way we roll! And would you happen to believe that it just increased by one today.

 

THAT was funny there. And yes, I still remember the days of books and repair manuals. I have been doing this for almost 30 years now since my first time working on my stepfathers Mercury.

 

well congratulations! you never tell me anything and let me in on your personal life so i dont get to be the one to mention things first.... im starting to think you dont love me.

 

Well, if I was in town right now, it would be a bit different. I have spent my last 4 b'days in Moscow, on my way to Moscow, or in Kazahkstan. It just seems to become a day like any other. But, as I feel the years passing by, I am starting to realize that it is one less year than what I had before. But, if you guys want to chip in for a present, a cute 5' 2" - 5' 8" 100ish pound Russian hooker would be a pleasant surprise.

 

quoted for future blackmail material....... you now just in case you want to try to blackmail me to my wife.

plus 5'8"????????? what do you want her to be a good foot taller than you???? weirdo

 

I hear you mister "I need a 3" lift so I don't have to duck to get into my truck." Some times you just gotta go for the exotic.

Speaking of BM material, how is the skid plate prep going? You going to want to come up to my house with them to put them on?

 

well the prep isnt going to well. last week was finals plus been working 14+ hr days so i havent had a chance to get outside and work on them. got what i think should be just about enough supplies to do them just gotta get a sunny(or at least not rainy) day when im off work to get it knocked out. hopefully i only have to work 12hrs saturday and i can get them started after work and maybe finished sunday???? all i know is i gotta hurry up and get them done cuz ive got even more stuff arriving at the house for the truck starting today.

 

Just got your retro Toyota emblem done, skids, all the swapped parts and redline stuff. What other new goodies do you have coming?

 

you know just the typical mall crawler stuff....... lca skids, more detail supplies, odds and ends like that plus start of next month i will prob be ordering another set of tires so i can sell these dunflops and have better DD tires.

 

Why would I chip in for a Russian hooker for you? I can't even get you to respond to my requests to bring me home a beautiful Russian bride for me!
