Ok I will explain in full detail all the cars issues, as to help maybe figure out the basic problem, some facts might not be useful, but keep everything in mind.
4 Months ago my car was running like sh*t. So I changed the plugs and wires, and did an oil change. I found out that my check engine light was from an EVAP canister and Purge solenoid. I changed them too. Then my timing chain tensioner had broke, and I had a private mechanic put a new timing set and tensioner on there. After I got it back everything seemed fine, except it idled really bad. The longer it would idle the worse the car would sound. Then I hauled the car on a car dolly 2 weeks ago about 400 miles. When I took it down off the dolly, a lot of water poured from the exhaust. Then the next day my ABS light came on, and stayed on for only a couple days and then went off. Yesterday when I started the car, it was knocking and shaking and the Check Engine light was on. Codes say its a misfire on #1, bad Purge Solenoid and bad EVAP. WTF? That is what I just paid almost $400 to get fixed. On top of everything, last night I turned on the car, and no headlights. Brights work fine, but no headlights, and the fuses are fine.
I'm not sure if any or all these problems are related or not, but im hoping someone can help. I already have $400 into what it's saying the problem is.
Thank you for any help.
