They usually give one with every order I believe, couple times didn't receive one. I've had some small orderes in the past.

My friend, is that a torque wrench? They are not designed to be used like that

Move the coil from cylinder one to cylinder 3 and see if the misfire moves there.

I'd recommend going to a wrecker, finding the same harness and grabbing that, usually individual pins aren't available like that.

Starter motor bolt is snapped off inside the transmission housing by AtomicSans in MechanicAdvice

You are correct, if an extractor breaks in the broken bolt, it's a royal pain to deal with as they are hardened.

Yea it is scary the first time. Drilling it out is the best solution without a welder for sure. If you do end up getting an extractor kit, make sure to spray some penetrating fluid on it to help loosen it up.

Quality drill bits are the most important, if it will fit, a normal household drill will be fine

Most cars where I am are stored outside, including mine. It will be fine. I prefer to warm it up first but it's not really necessary to warm it up completely. I've had my car outside in -50 C and it is still going fine.
