    Need Help in Boise Area

    This is kind of a weird request. My mothers car isn't running right. I was in it under a month ago and it was fine. I just got a call from my grandpa who lives in Arizona that she isn't doing well. She can't drive her car and if she misses anymore work she will lose her job and this is the first job shes had in years. She is physically unhealthy and mentally almost worse. Very depressed person and has a naturally helpless attitude. She's in her mid 40's and can't keep a job and she doesn't even drink or abuse drugs. She is just super depressed. Could one of you guys in the Boise area go look at her car for me and try to figure out what is wrong with it. She had the codes read off
    "P1124 is the fuel gauge I am sure. P0446 is the system vent control valve I am guessing I either have AC or heat no in between? and the P0301 is the cylinders are misfiring"
    She said she changed the spark plugs, and still din't run better. She has never touched a wrench in her life. I don't currently have the means to drive to Boise and even though we have a lot of family in the Boise area they are all refusing to help her and they are saying it's my responsibility to come up with a solution. I live in North Idaho and I can't make the 500 mile trip any time soon.

    All I'm asking is if someone can help her, it won't cost anything but your time. If it's something small like plugs, wires, or a coil swap it out? IDK what else to do at this point.

      Haha, that's actually the first thing I thought of when I posted that. You'd really be able to take a look?

                    Little update for those interested. I went over to his moms place and checked it out, what I found was 2 broken plug wires (leaking voltage and arcing on the plug tubes, a possible dead cylinder, could have been a broken wire, and lastly, her injector seals are shot which is causing a vacuum leak. I replaced the 3 wires with old ones that I had and the car is running MUCH better. It's a temp fix, the plug wires are meant for a civic, and they are short. Another update will follow after a decision has been made on parts.

                      I'm gonna order parts online, either of you should be able to pick them up at the store. Whatever store is your preference. I'll look online.

                            Not right now, i didn't do anything with the other CEL, figured we would fix known broken things, and see if it's being caused by these issues.
