Looks like the engine has a slight miss...

That's the mental picture that comes up when somebody posts "Help my engine is missing" Although, I knew somebody in high school that had a Vega, more than once when he needed a new motor (which was fairly often) he would find one in a parking lot and ****** the motor out of it. I'd like to see the look on somebody's face when they go out to their car and it won't start and the open the hood and see the same thing you've got!

Looks like the EGR isnt hooked up right, causing a bad vacuum leak.

It's because your wiper fluid resovoir is empty.

I think the Johnson Rod has come off the wabulator shaft.

Try lubing the headlight bearing.

Due to severe lack of pancakes and egg McMuffins, your engine has went on a muck involving pretty women and all of the above.
