Easy enough, but rust gave me a bit of pushback. I did sparkplugs last week and I pulled one to see how it looked, and it was a little crusty. I checked the gap (pregapped NKGs) and they were decently car out of spec, a bit far for my taste. So I got some NKG Iridiums ($7 a plug... ouch) that I’ll put in maybe tomorrow. I cleared codes and P0341 (camshaft position sensor) came back immediately. I noted that the timing hole on the transmission showed it was a tooth ish off, so I might move the timing a bit. Alternatively, I can just give the dizzy a twist til it’s lined up.

Shouldn’t be too hard.

How was your week, Oppo?

Did your  username change? It sums up the project car experience all too well

I change it from time to time but keep the "I like cars" bit. I added a gif avatar my phone auto generated which is pretty cool.
