Solve a bizarre mystery!

[Joni]

The cat was our first thought, and it was the first reading the diagnostic gave us too, but no, that wasn't it.

Turns out the harmonic balancer, once it was replaced, proved to be the culprit that kept getting in the way of accurate readings, which once we got them sorted out, had to do with spark plugs and wiring.

We fixed it all up. She now runs like a "raped ape."

but, what do I now do about the paint on one side that chipped off as soon as I got it home? Big chunk, too. Looks like a portion of the car wasn't primed and there is bubbling going on under my paint!

I'd like to get this fixed up too, but what can I do to prevent it from worsening in the meantime?
