Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to store it in the drive. Scrap price will bring in roughly $250. Plus i would have to pay tow bill. (I have no clue how much it will be). Im pretty sure im going to let the wrecker keep it and just take the 100 he has offered. But are there any parts i should...

As much as I hated replacing Coils and plugs and cooling parts, I loved my car. I tried to sell it a few months back, but I backed out because I just didn't want to get rid of it. So, here recently I've been letting a family member drive it. Yesterday I got the worst call. She was involved...

It was replaced about 1 year ago. And a few months ago I noticed water getting in still, so I siliconed everything and made it look 50x worse. So im finally fixing the silicone and doing everything by the book.

I got pissed of at my LS today. Discovered more water in the coil wells. This time it was boiling out. So, I decided I was going to fix it all and sell it. (which usually doesn't happen). Valve Covers: Bought (TASCA) MOTORCRAFT Coils: In the process (they can be a bit pricey) (rockauto)...

Autozone brand coils. were cheaper at the time and lifetime warranties. I replaced all and all plugs with double platinum I think duralast. they were already pre gapped. they are about 35k miles old. But coils doing that just sometimes?

Okay. New problem. Recently I've been experiencing a "ETC failsafe". I first noticed it when I pulled up to a stop light and it lunged forward, and when I slammed the brake down farther it stopped and popped up with the failsafe message and missed a little bit before returning to normal. It only...

Yea... about that. Both are my videos. I was told water was getting in there and high temp silicone would fix it. And this was a guy who worked at the dealership not a mechanic, but the service manager. Needless to say, the dealership isn't there anymore. That has since been replaced. My next...

yes.

I haven't posted in awhile, I recently bought a new f150 and ive been working on that and such. But anyways, I went to change my brake pads the other day and the front were a success, but both back wheels I broke 1 single wheel stud, which is whatever simple fix. I turned the calipers back...

I went and had my car checked at the local shop and to my surprise ALOT of local shops tried to nickel and dime me on prices way above dealer prices. But anyways They found a crack in the radiator. So I told them I will buy the part but when I looked on rockauto.com there are a few of them. Is...

So driving home from work last night I hear a beep from my dash I look down and see a " check engine temp" on the message center and the thermostat was climbing towards the "H" I quickly put the car in neutral and turned it off and coasted into a parking lot. There I popped the hood and looked...
