I'll take a closer look, sounds like a neat trick.

I am used to changing my plugs every 10,000 miles or 3rd oil change, so seeing these this bad, really shocked me. I hate people that neglect their cars. How did your car run before the plug change, ours seem to run pretty decent, except for the odd misfire code that came up. So far so good, new plugs and no more misfire codes.

I don't know if these were factory original or not, but they must have been in there for at least 60-80,000 miles to get that worn. The car has 130,000 miles on it.

I'll keep a close eye on it. I am usually under the hood checking one thing or another at least once a week. My wife and I make the trip from Surrey, BC down to Bellingham Washington every couple weeks, and I usually do a quick check of all the fluids and tires before we hit the road. Seeing as we are traveling with a 2 year old and she is now 4 months pregnant, the last thing we need is a break down.


Two side notes, I went to change the fuel filter and the damn thing is seized on. I am used to this style of filter on the Fiero's even in the same location. Just behind the drivers door under the car. However even with a line wrench that damn nut going into the filter was stuck solid. There is a place down here doing cheap oil changes so I am going to take it to them and let them get it up on the hoist for better leverage to pop the filter out, doing an extra oil change won't hurt anything.

I am also a bit worried about something. Today while checking the belts, I put some tension on the supercharger belt, enough that it moved the blower pulley a quarter inch, (which would be fine) except for the sound it made. Sounded like an alternator with bearings starting to go, not metal on metal exactly sound, but not smooth either. If I understand correctly, I can pop the drain plug out of the top of the blower and check the fluid level. It should be right up to the top? I don't have any GM Supercharger oil here, and the shop I spoke to does not have it either. I'll try a few parts stores, but if I can't find anything, what is a good substitute?
