tl;dr follow spark plug replacement DIY, don't touch the spark plugs

Get access, disconnect coilpack harness, remove 1 bolt, replace coilpack, install 1 bolt, connect harness, bolt everything else up.

That is a little better than the Ebay link earlier in the thread. I clicked it and paid $86.16 with free shipping. Thanks for the input.

All coils are the same? No matter which position?

I have been reading the info that Strat61caster suggested and any other info I have come across.


I do not believe that it is 100% necessary to get the coil pack installed. (or to remove and install new spark plugs)


I will take a few pics later today during the install and update this thread with my experience. Thank you!

I started by removing the three 10mm bolts that hold the fuse box in and moving it back an inch or two. Then I removed the three 10mm bolts that attach the Denso injector computer, or I think thats what it is. Anyway it has to be moved too because coil pack number one is under it. A standard 10 mm wrench and socket will loosen it but then I needed to make a special tool to get the bolt all the way out.

"Special tool" damn it's special alright!!

I could spin the socket with my fingers, once it was loose, and without dropping it cuz it was taped to the screwdriver. I'm sure there are other ways of doing this it's just what I came up with in one minute.

I unplug the old coil pack anf plug the new one in. Then I loosely taped the bolt to my socket so that I wouldn't drop it.
Then I tightened it finger tight and the final turn with the wrench.


via Imgflip Meme Generator

I put all the bolts back and started the car. Success!!! No check engine light and the whole process took me about 40 minutes.
