#22961, "my car is f'd up!!"


          

i dont know what happened. i did a compression check last week just to see how my engine was doing. today i started driving around and i noticed that my engine is hesitating alot in first gear and now just about all the time, sometimes when i turn i hear a loud popping noise that sounds like it is coming out of the engine! im like wtf! i dont know whats goin on. maybe i didnt put the sparks back properly? any help would help a lot. thanks in advance.

-Joe

well its kinda hard to install plugs wrong, make sure they are screwed in all the way, and make sure your plug wires are "snapped" into place in the plug wells, and have a good connection to the coil.
