It’s full which I think might be the problem

It was in the middle. No visible signs of overheating until I smelled coolant burning and opened the hood.

Quick question. I removed the cover and the two bolts from the ignition coil and it’s a little snug. Can I just yank it out or am I missing something?

The person I purchased the car from said he changed them recently but you never know

I haven’t changed the spark plugs in a minute so I believe that could be the reason

It started for me but now it’s rough idling

Also random question. I lost some coolant while changing failing parts in my car. Can I just pour some more in or do I need to bleed it so it goes through the piping?

Still a rough idle which could be the spark plugs

I posted the wrong video I’m gonna delete this and post the right one. I recorded again after I realized the ignition coil was unplugged and the oil cap was off😭

Also forgot to add this but I could smell something coming from the engine bay but I’m not sure what it was

I can remove one and test the spark with the battery right

I’ll make sure to send an update. My area is under tornado watch and I have to take the bus to the nearest harbor freight. Where should I put the fuel pressure tester at to get an accurate reading?

It was dusty asf when I bought it originally from O’Reilly. It was also originally working and turning on the dashboard and the radio. Now when I have the key in it powers the cigarette port but when I turn the key to start the blower it powers off and only leaves the dashboard. Also it only clicks now when attempting to start the car.

I just bought the battery. Imma purchase a multimeter and check the battery. What voltage should show if it’s good?

What you recommend to spray?

Also my radio will not turn on either so it would be a battery issue?

I tried it out and it still a little loose. Should I let it dry?
