my stolen s14...

so i buy a car.
i cant work on cars where i live so i bring it to my good friends house
he has 2 roomates
one of them was in jail because h missed some court dates.
he bought a 5 lug car and gave me 4 lug spacers..
he had alot of money to pay for court costs etc.
he then said oh you owe me for the spacers.
my car was being held "hostage" at his house
i went to get my car the hood and the headlights were gone. i was upset that night and punched him in the face he smashed my windshield etc.

my title was in my car.. so yeah he put in on Craigslist.

so i called the police and pretty much told them the story..

so we went to his house he did something under the hood to screw up my car. it had to have been something not that complicated.
so my car came was running crappy but i had my title and key so i gave him the money.

then i was driving to go home it felt weird s i went to autozone checked the oil yadayadayada

it smelled like straght gas.
i went to do an oil change and he did something to the oil filter so i couldnt get it off.
so a guy was like poke a whole in it and use a screw driver..
it didnt work.. now i cant drive the car because the oil filter wont come off
so i get it towed to a shop...

i get home and i check my phone and he said i hope your motor blows and he also said that he did something so that it only fires on cyl. 2and3...

then yeah. like i said im still semi new to 240s.. so i figured you guys would help.
i really dont have time to like lie about my car.

but yeah..
does anyone have suggestions...

i can post pics too..

Wow. Just wow.

You need to take a look at what your working with. Maybe he unplugged the spark plug wires on two of the cylinders. Without pictures its hard to tell. While its at the shop they should do a regular checkout to make sure everything is in order.

wow... thats some interesting sht there... wtf did he do so the oil filter wont come off? in anycase, try and take ur time and do a throrough inspection of all the random sht. plug wires on backwards and things like that. check fuel lines, filter and injectors too.

the spark plug wire on cyl 3 looks loose. recheck all your plug wires. are all of them going to the correct cylinders and are all of them installed tightly/properly? also, borrow someone's oil filter wrench to remove your oil filter. he might not have done anything to it... it might just be over tightened and hard to remove. i always install mine by hand yet need the oil filter wrench to remove them. the wrench will look like this:

from the picture your batter is connected... you already know the valve cover vac line isnt installed...
