My credo
To send it or not to send it, that is the question.
So its been a couple months and its been running ok, but yesterday it acted like it ran out of fuel so i had a buddy tow me to the gas station, after that it started up fine so i pulled out and made it like 200 feet and it just died on me, so i unplugged the mass air density sensor and it was running enough for me to get home but not great since it has 5° of timing in it. A couple hours later it was running fine so i was driving around and it just died, sputtered and lost all power and wouldn't start so i got a tow home and all it does is crank but does not start now with the mass air density unplugged or plugged in it will sputter a little bit but it wont do anything else so i have no clue what's going on
 
Pull the codes from the computer.
did that and got nothing but discovered a fuel pump was disconnected after having someone turn the key while i felt the pump but its running better now but now its leaking coolant from the timing cover so yay that's not going to be fun
 
Your fuel pump is leaking coolant from the timing cover? Not fun at all.

Sorry typing isnt exactly easy, i meant that my timing cover was leaking coolant by the water passages for the water pump, and i tried some kseal cooling system stopleak since i dont have the time or money to basically tear apart the entire front of the engine and it surprisingly worked, not sure how long it will hold but atleast it isnt overheating and leaking a bunch now
 
Sorry, I was just jokin' around.
