Sarah died on me

[bigworm82]

So my 94 SOHC (Sarah) died on me at a light yesterday. Wouldn't start back up again but turns over. I was getting ready to do new plugs, wires, cap, rotor this weekend anyways so I hope that's the issue. Nathan said it's prob the CAS though. Today i went to start doing plugs. Got the front middle one out fine but the 2 outside ones feel cross threaded. The left one is for sure (this is staring in from the front of the engine) any tips on how to remove it? All i have tool wise is a socket set and spark plug removal socket. CAR is out of commission and won't run to take it to a shop to have them remove it.

Well over due swap from Champion Coppers, to NGK Platinum's! Replaced an Autozone reversed PCV valve with oem. Sarah is back working the Brothels again!

Good job bill getting that whore back on the streets.

Actually, the SOHC valve is backwards from the DOHC valve because it screws into the intake manifold.

It was backwards from backwards then, as the oem valve was the opposite of the cheap one.

So can anybody tell me why my mileage and what not was going downhill?? lol

ha! Those plugs are rooted!!! Jesus....when was the last time those bastards were changed?!

Well i've had the car for almost 60k now and hadn't changed them...sooooo no idea. Plan to do a full rebuild next year hopefully instead of just doing a 120k or something along those lines.
