The TB was filthy so I sprayed the heck out of it and unfortunately fouled the plugs in the process. No biggie, I pulled the plugs and discovered they were the cheapest Champions money could buy. I replaced them with NGK Platinums and also a new PCV valve and took the car for a drive. She smoked like a freight train for a little while but ran like a raped ape!! Holy crap what a difference. I thought the car ran good before but now it's really fast! I'll never feel the same way when someone claims a car was "lady driven" lol. No offense to the ladies but if they don't have a good man around the car might not get the attention it deserves! I also realized I have a terrible sludge problem that I'm treating with Mobile 1 and short oil changes.  |
..who is to say that she took the car to a mechanic she thought she could trust, and they "screwed" her over. It can and has happened. A good story to illustrate this a lady owned a 300ZX that she entrusted to a shop to service, the shop she took it to still serviced and charged her, even though the frame was so rusted that the car was declared junk. She only discovered this when she took the car to another shop and they alerted her to the fact the car was done. This is a true story.
