The engine does sound better though.

So after that, I decided to check the spark plugs. To my surprise, I found one of my spark plugs missing (in the second cylinder...is that what it is?) Anyway, I found it inside of my car. I don't have the tool to put in the plug right now, but my question is will a missing spark plug cause the car not to start?
