e-mail me at marioajavier@eaton.com. WE could probably do the spark plugs together. It is one of the easy one to do.
Call Owasco to get a price for your plug. I may even have a plug for you.
My brother in law owned a high performance shop in Oakville, so you could get the plugs from them. Check out their web site www.tagracecraft.ca

I am surprised that she could actually drive the car. When my bearing went two weeks ago, I lost power to my car. I can't even get the RPM to go higher than 2000 RPM. I think it went on limp mode and the noise was so loud, it sounded like your driving without a tire.
Anyway, I had my car repaired by me and my brother in law and it now worked perfectly. I just need to know how to do the ECT sensor now. I can't stand that temperature needle going all over the range.

Jest: Thats great, I usually drive down from Toronto to Washington D.C., and I never see any on the way down. So do you prefer it over other brands? Try the double double you will love it.

Dudley: My temp guage has not gone erradic on me after those 2 instances, however, I would be glad to help you out if you need some help. I really am not mechanically inclined however if you need a extra hand I can help out no problem. I will try to get some info on the ECT sensor and will email you about it.

I get that minor trembling sometime and I thought it was my wheel balance. I want to know this as well, so let me know once you find out.

I have only been a few times, and usually just for a bagel or something.

The only time you need to do a TBA is when the battery has been disconnected. Even if you don't do it, the ECU will adapt itself over ~200 miles anyway. It's sorta like it accelerates the process time.
