New problem... Sometimes now to get the STUPID HID's to turn on you have to put it on high beam (which works fine) and then take the fuse out for the headlight (left and right) then put it back and turn them back to low beam and they work fine. Thats the only way to ge them to work again that Ive found. What do I need to switch back to the normal bulbs, just the bulbs and I remove all this other junk? I hate these HID's..

I found out why the brake light is on.. The little switch for the parking brake got moved so the lever never touched the switch. Easy fix. Is it possible that the oil just got to full and that causes the plugs to get covered in oil? Cause I think when I was trying to teach her how to change her oil she put a little extra in by mistake. Cause now it kinda seems to have stopped leaking. Before I cleaned the plugs and wires off and they havent gotten oil covered again yet..

But where do the spark plug grommets go? Ill tackle this soon maybe I should take some pics on the way and we can throw together a how to for this since its so common?

Is it a simple gasket and I won't wreck anything? If it was my car I'd just do it but if i wreck my gfs car she can't afford to fix it, she can't afford to have them do it the first time either ha. I've just never seen the inside of one of these motors so i don't know.

Glad to hear its an easy fix.. I think i will be doing it myself then. I've never done it on a car but I've done it to a lot of atvs and motorcycles etc. So i should be able to handle it? Which gaskets am I replacing and where's the best place to get them? Thanks for the help and the advice about not pulling the plugs till there clean. That's genius but I wouldn't have thought of it that's for sure.

Im hopeing its just a bad head gasket somewhere.. Would the oil cause the odd sound or any of the other issues?

So i went to pull the plugs out today and there's oil coming out of the spark plugs? When I pulled the wire off they were covered in it. What now?

Just in the old days? It seems like that should work now? Ha

Thankfully I know quite a bit about reading plugs, so that'll help. I'm just waiting for her to be done with her car for a couple days so I can get to work! Is there a good way to test for a miss or to test the wires and plugs?

How do I change the gap on a spart plug if its wrong? I know how to check it but I dont know what it should be or how to change it.

How much can I get plugs and wires for? I cant say for sure that its missfiring but it sounds like its not running on all cylinders at idle especially.. I know how an engine should sound and this isnt a normal sounding engine at the moment.

My bad I forgot this was covered ha. It wont work though or it wont work as well?

Ive been wanting the HIDs gone since we bought the car.. maybe if i just undo the HIDs and take them out the brake light will just go off? Itd be worth a try. Also now that Ive been paying more attention to the cars noises its making since somethings obviously wrong, it sounds kinda like its running a little off at all times. I was wondering if its got a miss if that would make the cruise go down the road wierd?

Are they expensive?

Smart! Ill look it over. I didnt think of that..
