Re: 2002 SC X engine toast! Need advice...

Not sure about the rings but I assume they're gone. My buddy just did compression test then put a camera into the cylinder which is scored badly. He said the NA can be installed but ECU needs to be reprogrammed.

Re: Service Engine Soon light

Okay guys, just bought a code reader and got p302 and p300. Did a search and looks like I need to replace plugs and wires? Sound right? And where in heck do I find the wires? They don't seem to be very common.

Thanks again all
