ya i dont even have the cover on mine. not to mention i have no radio in my car right now so its pretty annoying. but the alternator fuse was blown and the alternator needed to be replaced anyways. hopefully when i get it back together my egt gauge will work again. it shut off right before my car started to die. and then i smelled something burning underneath the hood but i didnt know what it was. anyways, thanks for all the help. oh and BoosTb4Broads, i sent that donkey punch picture to every one of my friends, hilarious.
