the switch problem was really wierd. my headlights wouldnt work at all and the brake light and the abs light would always come on but if i jiggled my keys a bit it would fine so i figures it was the ignition switch. fifty bucks later, problem solved. i need new brakes!

my abs light is/was on. brakes worked fine though. first mechanic told me it was my abs pump which = $$$$$$. then the second mechanic told me it was something with my ignition. my key doesn't pop back when you turn the car on. so i just turn it back a tad when i start the car, lol. the abs light isn't on anymore, i think the bulb burnt out, lol. i ordered my suspension a week ago. i think i'm gonna regret lowering it on stock rims and tires cause i couldn't even get it on those metal ramps so i could check under my car, lol. oh yea and the other day i noticed an oil leak which we think is from the oil filter housing. just the seals hopefully. ahh i need to go synthetic, anyway. all this shit goin wrong with my car, luckily i didn't order the shrick intake manifold
