    Hey all,

    I had a few problems this weekend on my 89 Mi16 and took care of it
    but it was very frustrating till I found what the problem was. Here it
    goes:

    SYMPTOM: Car suddenly cuts in and out at any speed. It idle's very
    rough, goes upto 3k and down to 1k back upto 4k etc.

    CURE: Air sensor plug was corroded and wasn't giving the car the right
    info. Unplugged it and plugged it back. Need to use some kind of
    electrical cleaner (WD40).

    SYMPTOM: Oil gets into spark plugs fouling them in a few weeks

    CURE: I changed the cylinder head cover gasket a while back but didn't
    change the spark plug opening gaskets because it didn't come with the
    cover gasket. I put heavy amounts of gasket maker but I guess that
    didn't work. Will work on it when it gets a little warm.

    SYMPTOM: Driver side door wouldn't latch
