So my father was going to change the timing belt/h20 pump on my mom's SC300 (formerly mine before the Lude came along) Apparently, he couldn't get the flywheel bolt off so he gave up. He then decided to wash the engine compartment down with superclean and water. After doing this, the car was running bad. He managed to get water into the plug holes.
He ordered a cap, rotor, plugs, and wires for the car. Thinking that it would be a 20-30 minute job, he dug in. I came outside to see what was going on. Well, needless to say, it wasnt a 30 minute job. It took us around 3 HOURS to change the plugs. you could get to the front and back 2 no problem. The middle 2, guess what? You have to take loose the intake manifold to get to them! Whoever designed this car is a moron. PLUS it took me at least 20 minutes to get just 1 of the bolts loose from the IM just because it was buried in wires, tubes, and caves. 👎
