Havent got the coils yet. Just looking at most the SSEi'* in the club, some have had new coil packs added, but being an 02, aside from the look and little bit of gain on the system, I just dont see a big enough difference to justify new packs....yet

Changed the plugs on my '01 Jeep Wrangler the other day, easiest job I've ever done. About 10 min start to finish. I love that inline 6

Having seen the plug location when Toasty was going to swap his rear mani... UGGGGLY
Chad.. I understand what you are going through.. hell..if Melissa thinks she can..let her have at it . I think Randman ended up doing the plugs from under the car.

I did mine, but I might have a shop do hers. Not to wuss out, but I tried to get one of hers out last night, but I couldnt do it with a socket, extension and ratchet. I didnt want to resort to a breakerbar and break the plug, cause the way the plugs look, I'd say they are atleast a year if not more old cause her car is studdering and a strain is put on the system when she uses stuff causing the engine to slow down sometimes.
