Re: Continued questions and comments

Why change something that's obviously working well - plug wires & coils if these give good mileage?
They can be changed independent of the sparkies.

The three coils are screwed onto the head; one of these screws split when I changed my car's plugs so I needed to drill it and use a small easyout to remove it. (That was fun.) Then replaced the 3 OEM headless screws with 4x30 mm Phillips head & washers from local hardware store. (Dealer told me the OEM screws aren't on the parts list and offered no alternative to buying a new head to get one!)

You'll need a ratchet extension for the plugs are about 6" down a tube.
Bosch 4301 Platinum 2 - to 19 ft lbs.

Also need a long, large screwdriver to loosen the clamp on the air intake - from the front and under the intake tubes.

Have fun.
