Special thanks to LewFX who helpped me solve the problem with the RPM fluctuating and back firing and such..
Q1.) Anyway, when I swapped my spark plugs, I found out that my old plug's gapping are all messed up? How did it happen? Last time I check'em plugs, they were OK! I'm clueless on how the gapping could go up 0.04, 0.05 inch inside that little **** hole?!?!? Is there something wrong inside my engine? Q2.) On the freeway going like 75~80ish, instead of bouncing up and down, car would swing side to side... Is this normal? Something is loose? My wheel falling off? Please help! -------------------- |

kick the rims from the side at the front and back (or if the car is jacked up, check for if the wheel/rim wiggle/has play).
I think up and down play means the wheel bearing, and side to side play is bushings/suspension arms. Anyone want to back me on that? |
