Maintenance & Repairs - July 2006

I have a 2000 Dodge StratusES V6 2.5L Engine and my engine light came on. So i bought the car to Auto Zone to get free check engine light help(engine diagnostic). The reading came back as cylinder 1,2,3,4,5,6 has all misfire. Saying something was wrong with my spark plugs. But here is the twist II bouugh the car to Speedee Oil Change and Tune Up and they told me I have a rare engine where only three spark plugs are in front and the other 3 are behind the engine and they would need to take the top off of my engine to service the other 3 spark plugs.Cost $275.00 for a job i was originally told was going to be $45.99 including spark plugs. The guy that does the tune-ups came and looked at the spark plugs and said he don't see any defects like they need to be replaced. Does this sound about right as far as price concerned? What are the signs of a spark plug tune?

It has been setting the "EGR circuit range/performance" code. and the multi cylinder misfire code. The technician looked at it with an OBD2 and said there is no power to the EGR. He said to check fuses and relays and wires. But it all looks good to me. I thiught it may be the PCM, but the problem is intermittent, last night it ran perfect. Today it is acting up again.

I changed out the master brake cylinder
I changed out the shoes

It becomes difficult to press down on the brake pedal after a few miles. Then the brakes freezes and hampers forward motion. The car becomes driveable after releasing brake fluid from the wheel or letting the car rest for an hour. What causes this?

I have a 97 corolla and it is an automatic 4 cylinder
so its usually great on gas...
when i hooked up an injen cold air intake that cost me way too much money it started to really affect the gas mileage

I hooked it up according to the instructions
and it looks and sounds great but I have been noticing that
the gas is going down way too fast

my stock air filter only had one hose going to it so i used it
on the new setup
I had to plug one of the holes into the pipe because but there was a tube sticking out for another hose... which hose is it? if any?
what is that for? can that be the problem?

I also have a flowmaster exhaust system (muffler) on my car
is my car taking in too much air and then expelling it too quickly or efficiently so that its doesnt have time to properly combust?

ii am thinking of switching it back to the old one unless I can get some help!
thanks tuners

When weather is dry there is absolutely no problem. I have tried a silicon spray, which did help, but only for a day or two. Sure would appreciate some help.

I have a 96 Chevy Lumina minivan. The heater and the air conditioning just stopped working, (no heat no cool air) although the fan is still working. Anyone tell me what's wrong and how much it might cost to fix?
