Sillycar!! whelp, drove over and found out through the OBD-ii reader that there was a misfire twice in cylinder #1.. ok.. so i'm guessing that either the sprk plug was sucking or that the engine was cold and was trying to go uphill or a combination of the two. Tim of Tomas Motorsports tells me that Bosch Platinum +4's suck.. So i get another set of plugs.. These were about 30k miles old anyways. I go and try to remove the New Dimensions Cables and the wire comes off the boot! Piece of !@^%$!! In silly Volkswagens, the spark plugs are pretty deep inside these wells on the top of the engine.. It requires a special tool to remove and install the wires. Well the tool comes stock with all VW's but it's made of Nylon, which is 70% of the car. But the tool breaks! So thats more !^%*!!! So i go to like a bunch of mechanics and call a bunch of dealerships and automotive shops and NOBODY sells it.. SuperWeakSauce!!!
Finally i find this one place at 3rd street called Advanced Auto Service Aaron of Advanced auto graciously lent me a Metal VW SparkPlug Boot Removal Tool. And also i've kept my old plugwires. So new plugs for Delilah! woohoo! Shes up n running now!

Then went home and vegged, for once.. Cleaned up a bit of the house. The Capt'n came over and is leaving his moto, which i'm gonna babysit for a while.. It's gonna suck.. now i got 2 choices in transportation.. doh! heh He's gonna be heading off to his motherland on thursday.. International Man of Action!
p.s. only a few know of where i'm blogging.. it's good to be wireless!
