Start up and engine dies.

Wierd, but I was driving it around today and the car was actually performing very well. I didn't notice any of the symptoms I reported about earlier, but I will check for any fluid buildup around the spark plugs. Earlier in the Fall my coolant hose leaked right over the entire valve cover/spark plug channel and drenched my spark plugs. That was the reason my spark plugs were replaced. It's possible the installation has become a bit faulty so I'll double check and make sure all is tight and snug. O2 sensor was replaced in the summer.

About the wheels I got em cheap on Ebay. Just had to get that staggered look for the ride. They are 17s (215Front & 255Rear) by the way. (Tires are still affordable at that size.)

i guess the black and white just goes good, the ride height looks good to. I think it has to to with the weather (dry 55 low 60's). My car was just fine today no sputter or trying to die, but still has a slight miss at idle, and the gas smell. Hopefully when my plugs and wires come in it will all go away.

have you checked for oil in the plugs yet, cus your car is doing exactly what mine did

ill do that, still havent got my plugs or wires yet so i havent really check them out. When i check for oil you mean in the spark plug tube were wires connect to the top of the spark plug?

actually down in around the plug. i saw it when i put the socket in to loosen it up. i pulled the plug out and the socket had oil about halfway up it and the plug was drenched in it.
