On your wiring you need to go to the local parts store and pick up some of that electrical heat wrap and macguyver those biotches. Flick ur bic bro.

No oil in the galley way. It's an oil free and coolant free zone. Try to keep it that way. Now you'll have to pull and clean all the plugs if there's any real oil in there.

okay so i got in my car today and it started. i was in my driveway slightly on a hill. (the front facing downward) last time i tried to start it i was on flat ground. my gas said it was at quarter tank. i topped her off today. but its been starting before that. before i put gas, i tried to start it and it started right away then died right away. it did that twice. then after that i started it about 10 more times and it fired up well. may it be that my fuel guage may be broken? and should i keep it always about more than half tank fuel??? get back to me please im becoming confused.

Well, if you filled it until full how many gallons did it take before the pump stopped? If it was a bit over 15 then yeah, your gauge could be shot or it could be the sender in the tank.

im not exactly sure. but, it was having trouble and would hardly start at about a quarter tank. once i actually got it started at quarter tank, i went straight to the gas station and i topped her off and shes been starting well every time.

Well, it's possible the gauge is off or the sender's bad... or perhaps you just had some bad fuel in there.
