...all those nights we shared, and you're a dude??
Special Agent Mukity-Muck Whats in Charge Round Here
When I bought my mustang I thought it was a llittle down on power.
It had a slight miss under hard acceleration amd just felt weak.
The car has 177k on it so I wasnt too worried about it with those miles I figgured it is bound to be a little tired.
I decided today would be a good day for a tune up.
The wires were Bosh Ultra Premium wires. I had a set of those when I had my 87 and they have a lifetime warranty through autozone. FREEBIE!!
So I yank all the wires out and pull the cap and rotor. It has Autozone premium cap and rotor with teh brass or copper inserts its ate up. But hey Not bad so far. At least they bought the better autozone stuff.
It needed a new cap and rotor so I figgured Id buy that same cap and rotor at autozone since I was going there to get my free wires.
Next pull a plug and see if they need gapped or replaced.
I pull the #5 plug since its easy to reach and out comes a trapazoid looking igniter like I have never saw before.
I look at it and it says E3.
Now for the RANT:
Why in the world would someone waste there money on some thing like this.
You cant gap them and theres no way it was gapped right for our cars.
If you want to work on your own cars at least use the right parts. I bet the car never did run right every since those pluge were in it.
RANT END
Now off to teh Zone:
They cant find my warranty for my free wires.
I gave them my old phone number and told em they were fer an 87 moostang.
AUTOZONE SPECIALIST: nope you never bought them here.
ME: check again cause I know for a FACT I did inded buy em here.
AUTOZONE SPECIALIST:: Nope not here cause it not in my puter.
ME: Well we all know puters are never wrong. So run the part number through under all my parts with LLW.
AUTOZONE SPECIALIST: I cant do that.
