We started like around 7am and we were done at around 9pm. We had a very hard time removing the exhaust manifold as well as power steering pump. But again, the engine runs perfectly now. I love my Vibe even more now! Thank you Junior and Isaias for helping with the job!

Very high cylinder temps will melt the plugs. This can happen because the fuel to air mixture is to lean. Running a cylinder lean can burn/melt the spark plug and damage the piston. As others have told you, check your compression. How even is the compression across all four cylinders? You may also ...

Yes, my 2003 is AWD. I found the VSS exactly where the V2 is pointing to.

Would it make sense that the VSS is bad even thought the check engine light is not on? But usually the ABS and Brake lights are on, the speeedometer does not work and the transmission does not shift until the lights turn off.
