    I just got done replacing the spark plugs using the tutorial video here. The engine starts up just fine but when I try to shift out of park I can hear a small click underneath the car and I get a yellow triangle warning, the dashboard tells me to shift it back into park. Any ideas?

    check the voltage on your 12v battery, if it's original, it may need to be replaced

    Turns out me being an idiot was the problem. The door was opened and I automatically assumed the car wasn't shifting. Thanks though!
