AZ read my plugs?

well my coils finally gave out after 51K so i replaced plugs/coils/wires with OEM stuff. anyways, just wondering if my old plugs look ok. i assume everything is combusting correctly, thus the light brown, but i'm no expert. any input?

The plugs reads "Replace me" and the coil reads "I'm going to crap out on you soon."

Yeah, the carbon caking on it is fine but I'd still change them if I were you.

If you've got 51k on those plugs you should replace them. They're not expensive and you've already pulled them out anyway...

Edit: Doh, misread the question. Yea my plugs looked like that when I pulled them, not too bad really.

I would replace your ignition coils, spark plugs and spark plug wires. Or upgrade and get the BHR Ignition System.

i bought the car at 36k and the previous owner did the 30k service. i thought the dealer sheet said the coils and plugs were replaced, but they only did the plugs. so i thought the coils only had 21k when they crapped out. that's why i was suprised when last week my car started sputtering and threw a misfire code. oh well, $250 for new OEM plugs/coils/wires isn't too bad.
