16Again had actually noted that it could be the plugs first, but is disqualified because he inspected the car and missed the Dx. Tooo bad
I'm glad it was nothing more serious than a plug or two.

If you could not find anything wrong with the sparkplugs, it may have been an issue with the wires or boots. It could have been that the boot was not fully seated on the plug. If it comes back, take a close look at the wires and boots

You did not let him down. You did what we all would have done. But what really stinks is that a $1.00 part can stop a $50,000 car from moving.
Live and learn.

Bob, seriously though, it's all good. The point is I'm just glad it was a plug issue & nothing further/more expensive. Let's just cross our fingers & hope this problem doesn't recur again. - Matt

Matt no good this weekend, and next weekend is the Challenge as well as Hot Rod Sunday so that's out as well. Looks like 3 weeks before I can get your car here to be lowered. If I have a day off 
that I can get you in before that i'll let you know. Did Angel give you back the damaged plugs? If he did can you see anything wrong with them?
