Valve cover back on with no broken bolts:
The tip of the cylinder 1 plug wire came unclamped from the wire, so out with the NAPA brand wires, in with the NGKs:

Well, I was driving to work from class today, and my check engine light came on. Got to work and it was flashing code 1, which is the O2 sensor. I looked up replacements, and I'm confused because it seems they range from like $15 to over $100, and I don't really see any major differences. Anyone know?
I'm pretty sure it was just a short blink. I just drove to the dentist and back and it didn't come one, so idk. I'm just gonna keep an eye on it.
Sea foam time!
Probably a good idea. I'd need to buy some oil first. Also, is it necessary to replace the spark plugs afterwards? I just changed mine. I could always put in the old ones while I'm seafoaming and then put the new ones back in afterwards.
Yep
Sweet. I might try to do that this weekend. Not sure. Looks like having a DPFI engine makes getting it into the intake nice and easy lol.
Lol... I might not get to the seafoam this weekend. My oil pan gasket is pinched out a little and I think it's causing a really really slow leak. There's semi-fresh oil on stuff down there, but it's not actually dripping. If I do seafoam I'm gonna change the oil, and if the oil is out I might as well replace the gasket. Unfortunately school is ramping up since it's the end of the semester, and I'm not sure if I'll have time with all the stuff I've gotta do. We'll see. I'll snap some pics later today, although nothing has really changed lol. I'm just trying to think of cheap things I can do to spruce the car up since I'm not exactly making bank currently.
I would seafoam it and run it for a couple days with the seafoam in the oil then i would change the oil and the pan gasket at the same time.
I did this sweet mod where i'm rolling 14's on the left side and 15's on the right side of my wagon. It's dope dude! Try it! Steering wheel pulls hard left so you don't even need to steer when turning left. LOL
I went to swap wheels the other day with my blue wagon that's tucked away in my outdoor storage lot but I had my little guy with me and he started getting cold before I could get the other side done. So now i'm almost a week deep with off size wheels. Was going to attempt to finish it over lunch this week but the temps have been 20 below so i'm like screw it, i'll roll "on switches" for a while like a Snoop Dogg video

Thats incredibly bad on axles and trannys and such...
Bad shmad.. I have more cars than I can drive in a week. Besides that, it's a beater that'll all be swapped out soon enough. I eat bad axles for breakfast! NOMNOMNOM
