Thank you. Will start new thread for items 2, 3, 4.

Regarding 1, is this related to the rest of this, or should this be a new thread as well? Smell of exhaust comes into the car as well.


ALSO, I wanted to be sure to fully thank you for all your help through this. I was on the edge of selling this car, but now that the coils/plugs are replaced and it's running so well, I think I'll just keep it! over 220k miles and runs just amazing.

FYI. I am going to be replacing the solenoid connections and plunger from amazon for 13 bucks. That is supposed to fix the coming starting issue.

Tomorrow I am going to remove the battery cables for 30 minutes to reset the ECU as I am not sure this was done when i took it in for the coils/plugs.

Whats my next project likely to be?
