Default Please Help

I have an 05 crossfire. Have had it a few years. 190000 Mile's on it and I love my car. I recently changed the plugs and wires but one of the plugs broke it of the threads and left just the threads in the engine. I thought I could get it out with an extractor but no luck. I
Made a huge mistake and let my buddy try and during a phone I was on the fool took a drill and tried to drill it out and when I came back outside radiator fluid was coming from it of the spark plug hole. He drilled into the head I guess. I between jobs so I didn't have the money to take it to a shop and it's my only ride. Fluid filled up my engine and turned my oil a sludge brown. I got the hole fixed and it did an oil and filter change. The spark plug hole i had to plug for time being. I just started back to work. Anyways now I'm sorry one spark plug and the car runs really bad but street it warms up and I come to a stop it did and won't run again for a bit. It doesn't over heat it anything. Codes come up p0301 for the missing plug and 0161 heater circuit and 0160 sensor 2 back 2 would this cause it to due after it warms up. Any advice? I can get it repaired correctly within a couple weeks but I need it to get me to work in the mean time.

I would not run the engine at all until you get the head repaired. If you continue to run, you will need new engine in very short time if not already. James

FWIW, and I know it's a long way, I have a complete, running Crossfire engine and trans. $325 gets it. If you can find a friend and road trip it, you'd be in business.

THAT IS AN AWESOME DEAL! Someone local to you might think it is time for a spare!

It definitely is. On top of that, it has had valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, trans fluid and filter, and other items taken care of, all in 2021.
