twister, are you going to have the dealer do the compression test or leakdown test ?

YOU are the one who's off-topic here.
The topic is how the plugs and wires are needed when you over-rev a motor. He already "pisted" about that.
Lots of attitude in these posts talking about actual solutions. You should focus on non-solutions like taking one valve cover off to "look around".
We'd rather have no help that help from people with bad attitude's.

They rent them for free. When he removed the plugs he could have done a test then or instead of spending 2 hours trying to remove the valve covers.

I still say there is nothing wrong. Just wait.

It's a bad wire for sure. Either that or a burned out signal light.

One of the two.

Greg

PS you guys can run compression tests until the cows come home but it still won't tell you the wires need replacing!

"I removed the spark plugs all but pesty number 10..I am on the way to autozone to get a special tool that will bend and allow me to get it..

Number 1
at the front side on the drivers side was VERY loose and just turned right out as if it was barely even in. It was very wet and dark in coloration...

Number 2 at the front side of the passenger side came out with the correct amount of force but was just a lil wet and dark in coloration..3-9 all appear to be a white or light off gray color and dry..

Number 10 is the motherf***er so to speak...I cant acess it with my tools and as well the stupid boot was on so tight that I acidentally ripped the wire from the boot...

Im thinking there is a way for me to reconnect the two...Is this somthing doable or would I now have to buy all the replacement wires and go through that hassle."

Why didn't you replace the plugs when you found some of them bad?

The poster that sends it could tear up the instructions and write DO NOT USE on the box :dunno:

Jeem, you seem to be able to type in a manner that is easily communicated to Twister. Perhaps you could volunteer your time to convert the manual in to illiterate for Twister so he can get through his compression test. It is times like these that really pull the Viper community together for the greater good.

A simple check using a vacuum gauge can rule out/in valve piston damage quickly and easily. Do that first if it's a bouncin at idle, you have an internal problem. EASY

How many times does it need to be said! Its the Chrysler Turbo Encabsulator acting up. Youtube it if you don't believe me.
I thought you were just making that up until I watched the video. Yes, I think that's it! Main symptom "if the customer hears a burbling noise." It's all so scientific though, and I don't have a DBR to check it. Can't just trust the dealership because they will probably just run the extra tests to run up the bill.

I really do like that they combined the manual with a songbook. Gives the customer something to do in the waiting room. :)

Guess we will all know soon...just to recap..

1=redlined the car ******* upshift

2=exhaust sounded horrible and check engine light came on

3=check engine light was for misfire and crank sensor

4=my drivers side xhaust came undone and was rattling around in my side sill

5=i removed the side sill and bolted back on the exhaust

6=i replaced the spark plugs with new spark plugs. upon replaceing i obsrved one spark plug was not securely fastened and very daark and wet while another was also dark and wet. the other 8 appeared normal.

7=i acidently stripped one of the plug wires from the boot. i then took it apart and seemingly fixed it

8=i ordered abs 1200 degree wires and he threw in new spark plugs...i also ordered larger wire looms from viper specialty.

9=while i was waiting for the parts to arrive i made an attempt to take off the valve covers. i was able to inspect the passenger side only as the window wipers ect. were in my way and i was unsure of how to remove them.

10=car is with a mechanic now

God the suspense is killing me. Seriously, let us know as soon as you get it.

And in all seriousness I hope it's something minor. We all love our cars and hate it when someone has to spend hard earned money on fixing them.
