well, i was changing the oil and the spark plugs after my 3200 mile trip to cali and back for spring break, and i goofed. I busted one ignition coil, the other 5 are fine. i was reading the directions, however they arent very detailed in my book, and i pulled on the wrong part, i didnt see the 2 screws either. i didnt realize i busted it until i was putting in back in, and it fell into 2 peices. $40 i think at a local part store for one. just a guess. i spilled the oild EVERYWHERE too, the pan i used wasnt big enough, about 2 quarts spilled over!

also got a few burnt out tail lights that keep setting off my obc.

also have a clogged tube that feeds the wiper fluid to the spray tips.

also just got it out of the shop a week and a half ago, it had the whole cooling system replaced. radiator, water pump, thermometer, belts, oil change, sensors, and a couple pulleys that they broke which they fixed for free. $800 there, plus $50 for oil and plugs, plus $40 for a new ignition coil....

[:(] this hasnt been my lucky week with my car, very depressing. hope things pick up around here.

why were you changing the oil after you gave them 50 bucks to do it?

Anyways, that does suck but after some money it'll be good as new. Stuff like that happens, and unfortunately it costs money :-(
