good idea to change plugs with the 02s. if they are not workin right the plugs on that side can get fouled. did u change the battery in the clicker? get her scanned for trouble codes and let us know what codes come up.

Default Hit and Run

was a Hit and run so im kinda screwed on the bright side i get to do the body work earlier than later now wifee gave me a good budget bumper fenders rear bumper and all prep stuff will run about 800. thats preping the entire car and i got a guy who will paint her real nice for about 200 plus paint materials. so i guess i lucked out sorta or not either way she is being fixed. its killin me to look at her that way. damn autozone parking lot. my deductable is 500 and well i can fix her for less than that well the bumper and fender. so insurance going up would be bad. plus i get to do what i want. im keepin her black thinking of white stripes but not sure yet. anyways will be a long week or 2 waiting for the fender's bumpers. going to start preping her this weekend.

Your insurance won't go up is someone hit you and ran. But, it has to be reported to the police for the insurance company to believe you.
