Also, I have an oil leak. I attempted to use some additive to the oil that claimed to seal it up. When I poured it in, I noticed the viscosity of the fluid was kinda thick but the drip of it was almost like melted rubber. Maybe that’s the wrong way to describe it, but if you’ve attempted to use an oil leak sealer I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. What’s the likelihood of this sealer messing up/clogging either the OCV or the oil screen for the valve on my car?
I’m pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff sometimes, but I’m too cheap (broke) to pay a mechanic to do it, so I’ve gotta do it myself.

This is telling me the P0016 code causes my timing to retard. Is it safe to assume that’s causing the P0012 code as well, along with all the misfire codes? It seems logical to me, but I’m also barely an amateur mechanic. Also, when I get the chance to check my vehicle out this weekend, what’s this OCV look like from the outside? How difficult is it to get to?
I’m *technically* not supposed to work on vehicles in the parking lot/structure here on base, but honestly if I can get it done quick enough I could justify it. If not, I have to attempt to start it and keep it from dying long enough to drive the roughly 2 miles to the auto hobby center on base.
