I swear, it's cursed ..
Here's a shocker ..
.. Something else is wrong with my lil' 'Seo
After getting my PaceSetter Header on, my check engine light came on .. not really shocking ..
But then it would go off for awhile then come back on ..
The other night I got pulled over lol
Come to find out, none of my break lights work. Not even the third one.
So I assumed it was the fuse, so I looked @ it and it was fine, replaced it anyways
Still, nothing .. and the check engine light is on .. I assume the light is on because something might be wrong with the electrical now.
I could be wrong ..
The bulbs are fine .. as far as I know
Any clues?! Since it's my only car, this kind of hinders my going ..

LOL I had this problem before. Check the plug and switch hooked up to the brake pedal. There is a small plastic disc on the pedal assymbly that craps
out over time causing issues. I replaced the ones on both pedals(stop, clutch) with a screw and nut.

Ok ... checked that out ... Not a clue what you're talking about .. the only thing that even remotely feels like anything like that is a lil' switch
behind the clutch .. since I'm a big guy, I could'nt even begin to describe it ..
... Any one want this car, $1500 takes it

I had an issue similar to that recently where I replaced a bulb on the rear driver's side of the car. It kept blowing out the fuses for all of the
running, brake, and turn signals (I think it was position 8 on the inside fuse box). It was driving me crazy (short trip  ). I was starting to follow the wires through the car and noticed that there was
serious corrosion on one of the bulb sockets. Evidentialy, there is a small piece of rubber that goes over the rear lights where the rain gutter of
the trunk comes down. Mine was gone so the water was passing through and splashing on the wires and sockets. I looked at the spare rear light I have
and saw the rubber diverter. I replaced the whole wiring harness for the driver's side and the diverter. Miraculously, everything worked again.
Not sure if the same issue is what is afflicting your car, but I would definitely check the harness and bulb connections for corrosion, kinks, loose
ends, and continuity (got an ohm meter to check to see if the power is even getting back there to the light array).
Good luck!

Ok .. I fixed the Brake Lights and the Turn Signal issues
Also got the thermostat replaced, again
But only to find out that the main leak I was seeing is coming from behind the block, near the bottom ..
Since I don't have a working jack (My luck) on hand, any one know what might be leaking?
A Hose? A Seal? ... any one?
I Swear it's cursed .. if it's not one thing, it's another ..

What was the situation with the lights?
You don't always need a jack. Depending on the size of the curbs in your neighborhood, you can drive the front wheels on the curb and leave the back
wheels on the street. That allows you get up under it.
As far as the leak goes, it could be a gasket or a freeze plug leaking. Freeze plugs aren't hard to replace if you can get to them. If you can't, then
they are a bear. Gaskets are another issue all together.

Nokkie, did you connect the EGR pipe, that would cause your car not to work right,
