4. Problems in the fuel system
5. ignition problems
6. Need to set the timing.

1. Well the dealer says that the Check Engine light would come on. I've not heard of this. Another thing I noticed was that the exhaust tip seems to get black pretty quick(like within a week its black).

2. Well hopefully NGK isn't wrong. I know they aren't.

3. Air filter is clear.

4. Hell if I know.

5. This could be possible. It seems to idle fine. I don't notice any "missing". I have a brand new MSD setup that I can't install due to space.

6. Hell if I know.

This car is still under warranty. I had to take it back to them to do the Certification for the warranty that they supposedly did before I bought it. It was a dead give away when the oil wasn't changed and teh spark plugs looked like THIS . Not to mention they didn't clean the engine bay either(another checkpoint).

It seems like I got ripped off. I shouldn't have any issues with a 2000 year car. I think the dealer is going to get a call.
