I need to know if anyone knows of a shop open tomorrow. Everything seems closed on a Sunday. The wifes 2005 Mercury Mountaineer blew out a spark plug and we need to get home to chicago tomorrow night. If anyone knows of a shop open tomorrow please let us know. No luck here, searches have all determine no shop I can find is open tomorrow.

The repair is beyond my ability.

Worst case is we rent a u haul with trailer and tow it home, but this is worst case.

If you know a shop open on a Sunday let me know.

Thank you

V6 or V8? Can you unplug the fuel injector for that cylinder and limp home?

By the way you know that there is supposed to be 8-12" of snow across most of Indiana tomorrow right? I would not want to be in a uhaul truck pulling your broken suv home in that.

I know man, that's why I am in a bit of a panic to get this done tonight.

We have a tow truck coming and tonight I found out a new famly member is an engineer, so we are gonna fix this tonight and be off in the morning.

Its a v8 though. 4.6.2v.

Did you use a heli-coil, a Time-Sert, or Lock-n-Stitch?

Whatever kit they have at autozone. I didn't do it, which is why it's now working I guess.
