Just wanted to say "thank you" to...
the guys (& gals, I guess) here. I was able to fix my "wild vents" & cruise control and replace my IAC (twice) due to you and your help.
'preciate it!
Now, on to more repairs.
plugs & wires (intimidated big time by this)
leaking sunroof
headliner - sunroof makes it a big problem
replace carpets - shouldn't be too hard
etc...

Your welcome.
You should change the plugs and wires on a 91 3.1l Camaro or a 99 Buick Regal, then you'll realize that it is very easy on our trucks. Just remove the back two spark plug heat shields before changing the plugs if you have shorty headers so you don't break a plug (I did that one time). If you just have stock exhaust manifolds then make sure you blow out all the heat shields with air to get the junk out after pulling the spark plug wire and before removing the plug itself. If you have trouble removing a wire, then just work the heat shield out, it'll fit over the spark plug wires boot and can be removed with a pair of channel locks.
Sunroof, I've heard that petroleum jelly will revitalize rubber seals like the seals on a sunroof, it's worth plugging into google.
