I like how the fix is just for new clips for the spark plug wires and not for actualy fixing the problem.

Sorry, folks...I tried a search for existing threads as well, just slipped me. My attention was called to the CNN article by a co-worker this morning asking me what year my Monte was. I would think that since the Series II is pretty much unchanged from 03 - 05, would it not still apply to 04/05 model years? Guess i will have to consult the dealership.

Hi `Matt,
I am sure that `if you check with ZZP that they will
be updated on the problem. And `if they are not
at present...I am sure they will `be.
I am hoping that one of our member's, or tech's
will take pictures of problem (clips) & post for everyone
to see.
p.s. Really like your new `sig by Enzo `Brock

I was wondering if someone else was going to catch that.
They fix where the oil leak is going but not the oil leak itself.
