ok here we go. i got my 89 non turbo recently. i was driving it and i heard a whoosh noise. then smoke came out of the hood and the car died. it started and i made it home barely before it overheated. my friend says its the water pump. is that hard to fix? also i need to change the plugs and wires. but i cant reach the middle back 3. theres stuff in the way....engine stuff. ive ALWAYS had someone else fix my cars before. but i love this car sooo much! i want to learn. where can i go on the net to get skematics to fix it step by step? also...my brother cleaned my engine while i was sleeping today and now there is water drowning the plugs...yeah. the guy at autozone said take of the wire and turn the engine over to blow it out...but i dont think so. is it ok to do that? i need a valve cover gasket too. is that hard? i just got a settlement so i can afford all this. i really love this car. any advice at all would be really appreciated. thanx
