Nonono guys. the other end broke off, that makes contact with the plug wires. nothing went into the cylinders. I may be stupid and mechanically challenged, but I wouldn't just think nothing of that. I ended up checking out the plugs, they were all fine and dandy, so I just replaced the broken one. It was really strange what happened.
There is no ticking. It was just when I was one my way home. I don't exactly understand what the hell it was... just heat pumping out through the broken plug?? It was like a rythmical like loud puffing sort of noise, got louder and faster and all that jazz. It melted part of the hood blanket dealy - the plug wire blew off, and melted a bit. It sucked major ass - but it seems to be all fine now.
I don't know. I learned now and put tools in my car. Luckily I had an extra plug in my car from last time. Still have the new set of plugs too. Shitty thing is I forgot to tighten one end of the 3000 pipe, and went for a short drive after getting the plug in, to make sure everything was ok. Hit fuel cut and I was freaking out (I never hit fuel cut before, so thought it was part of the problem). Then it clicked, and I just gave the clamp another little turn, now everything is all good.
I am driving back up to Port McNeill tomorrow night (late) too. Shitty thing is I am going by myself, and I left my cellphone up there. Oh well, if it breaks down again I'll just roll it off a cliff.
Oh yeah, things have been busy - but if all goes well I will still be coming to Victoria saturday afternoon. Have to leave McNeill early Saturday, and make a drop off at the ferry. I'll call my buddy tomorrow night and tell him I'm coming. SO far so good... so long as the supra decides to play nice.
