I'm starting to think rotor runout because of a unclean hub, or over torqued wheel nuts

Brakes don't drag at all?

It's a blue 10 amp fuse in the panel under the back seat

I hear positive about General Altimax RT43's

Swap coils around to see if the problem moves with it

Any bad corrosion under the ICM?

Try reseating the cluster, and check to see if he remembered to plug all the connectors back into the DIM

Start by checking/tightening all connections

By "not starting" do you have a No crank, No start?

Any corrosion under the ICM?

Hmm...

Did your digital odometer/trip computer display also spaz out?

Have you any water leaks?

Because mine was throwing a similar fit, which I've pretty much blamed on the front right sunroof drain getting that major body harness (that goes into the DIM) wet, causing all sorts of hell.

Since ...

Try cleaning the pellet on the key with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip

The fact that you can raise it by hand is concerning

When you try to raise the window, do you hear the motor click or try to move it up?

IIRC the passenger side switch is similar to the rears, try one of those at the passenger door and see if it changes anything

It has a 33% chance that the same plug went back into the #1 cylinder. As far of the overheating part goes, I couldn't tell you what the girlfriend did while I was working out of town all the years we had it. God only knows what her daughter did to it either, she use to sneak out at night and take ...

...welcome to my hell

Best check and tighten all 4 sunroof drains

If your pulling the dash for any reason (heater core/actuators) it makes the fronts a lot easier.

Not a good idea

The OE ACDelco Iridium's

# 41-101, on Amazon for $4.50 each after rebate

These look like they'd look good inside the 17" SLE chromies

Any reason to suggest they wouldn't fit?

Sounds like they did a number on it

Plugs, wires, fuel/air filter, take the stupid tornado thing out of the intake

Clean the MAF, reinstate all vacuum lines, see if the FPR is leaking fuel

Have you checked Rockauto?

A OE ACDelco unit from Rockauto or Amazon

Good quality, fair price, and lifetime warranty.

I'm curious as well, as there's many flavors of Butyl tape available from Amazon for less $$ then the particular Polyshim cited.

After denting/scratching, I've learned dropping the last foot is the best option
