What have you done to your MSP today?

Yeah,so I'm thinking about blowing up my MSP, that engine light just loves to come out and play way to much and make my car drive like the biggest pile of s***... it flickers for like a min, and feels like the car is just gunna give out and stall out... then when its solid its fine..... the front drivers side suspention squeeks now going over speed bumps, the car decides to shack like crazzy when it feels like it (need 2 motor mounts and a trans mount as well) Need a new mid-pipe/cat... and it only has 65k and ive only had it for 3 mounths.... and ready to blow the thing up already.... Good thing ive started to get all these aftermarket performance parts for it... prob wont last for me to put them on..... (well alright, im done venting about that now....)

Squeaks = grease the swaybar bushings
vibrations = motor mounts like you said
CEL = depends on the code.. get it read?

Is it misfiring when the light flashes? If so, change the coil packs, wires and spark plugs. These are all pretty common issues just fyi.
 
yeah it does seem like a good deal. i had a friend fill my old mounts with something. it was like 60 duro. its been about a year now and they're starting to rip. good run for $30 :D
 
Yeah thats the same price i can get them from my brothers body shop.... I'm also thinking the squeeking from the front drivers wheel could be a strut that needs to be replaced... Ill have to look for some coil packs that are decent and not to expencive ....
 
coil packs, go to autozone. they're like 20 something a piece. they'll swear up and down you'll need 4 from what their computer system tells them lol
 
Well I need new exhaust manifold bolts, one of them is missing and others should be replaced before they get too rusty and the head rounds off if I ever need to take them out. Anyone got any suggestions? BTW I will NOT pay for ARP that is just crazy for bolts.

Nah, the gap is too busy on the weekends. Plus it's like an hour and a half away, and I have better roads, with less traffic closer to my house.
