Did you pull the spark plug wire when you routed the vac line ? Sounds like it's not snug on the cap anymore. Fix it soon, it's a big deal.

Possibly. The engine doesn't stumble or anything, I feel like it misfires once and goes away.

danny you're still getting misfires? have you tried switching the plugs around to see if its just a bad plug? have you regapped them or checked the gap? I got the misfire codes at ikea but i regapped mine and switched the #1 plug with the #5 plug and the #2 with the #4 i didnt have a misfire with the #3 cylinder so i re gapped that one and just put it back. But switching the plugs can help trace down if its the plugs or something else

cleaned throttle body and all all electrical items

checked trans fluid.. it is over its COLD and HOT mark by a good amount... that be an issue?

(i put it through the proper gears before looking at it)

I've heard that it will just burp up out of he tube and I've heard you can damage seals/solenoids. I'm not sure.

Be safe and drain some off from the radiator tube and then top it back to the right level with the fluid you just pulled out.

Drove it to a dealer to look at some replacements for the sedan. :)

:o see anything nice? You're not looking to replace the wagon too are you? :( Your wagon rocks.

Realized that I need new brakes in the worst fucking way, so got up on that.

Started to contemplate the best way to go about re-doing my grille (IPD custom)... Still no good ideas :lol:

what kind of pads did you get?

how do you find TDC, do not have my books infront of me

Nope, wagon is staying. Sedan is just an NA, 5 speed with a ton of miles. I'll swap out the interior, makes sure it's free of any issue and sell it. I like that car, but I don't have time to work on it anymore.
