well this is the second time i have parked my car in my autoshop class' parking lot. and as we all know, my hood does not latch. so i park the car, running fine mind you, and go to my first two classes.
so i come back, get in the car to take it into the shop area, and i start it up and the exhaust tone is very choppy and the power is not there. it feels like i am in third from a stop. so i get it into the shop and we change the oil and i fire it up to let it run the oil through and i heard a cracking noise. so i go to the passenger side and low and behold all i see are tons of blue arcs. after i shut the engine off i look and the distributor cap is literally exploded. the metal pieces were exposed and the arc from one cylinder would jump to the arc of another cylinder. thus creating cylinders firing at wrong times and such.
so we push it out of the building and i call up mr deagle to bring me another cap. as i am taking the old cap off i notice that the spark plug for cylinder number one is laying where the windshield washer fluid tank should be. this gets me to thinking that someone fucked with my car and purposefully did that. becuase the car was unattended to for about 3 hours.
so i fix the cap with a new one from mr deagle and in the process i find that spark plug wire number 3 is broken off inside the broken distributor cap. so i need a new wires to fix the broken one.
i hope i find out who violated my already crippled machine. needless to say, that is the last time i will ever park in that parking lot again.
