My spark plugs got here today but my coils won't be in until Saturday or Monday...

Would it be alright to just change the plugs out tonight or should I wait until I can do it all at once.

I really need my car running again so what I'm asking is will new plugs fix the misfiring problem?

you can do plugs now and if the plugs were the issue then you should see an improvement.
You'll be doing twice the work by doing it this way but if it helps and you have the time then go for it.

So I just got the coils changed because I had time to kill and my plugs aren't here.

Seems like the misfire cleared up but I will definitely still be changing the plugs.

Problem though, when I fired the car up it ran smooth but the CEL is solid now. I went to Autozone to get the code for it and it was:'

P0125

Excessive time to enter closed loop fuel control.
Probable Cause:
aa1. - Low Coolant Level
aa2. - Open or short circuit condition
aa3. - Faulty ECT sensor

He also said it still had a code for misfire but that could be because it just hasn't been cleared yet from the previous misfiring.


What do you guys think on the two cel codes?
