Replaced coils and wires
 

Well I just got done replacing my wires and coils and also cleaned the MAF (plugs were done 2 days ago) on my 04 and WOW-what a huge difference! Running like a champ now. Thanks to all who posted DIY's. It was super easy.

Yup, it really does make a remarkable difference. Well done.

How many miles was on your 8?

what kind of coils did you replace them with, were they OEM?

60k

Yeah, they were OEM.

im about to do this ... anyone in houston know how and wanna give me a hand?

i bet your idle is buttery smooth and healthy now, huh?

^It's very easy, just 4 bolts holding down the coils, Just have to take off your CAI.

Send me a PM if you would like to order them.

It's really easy. You won't have any problem doing it yourself. The DIY on here says to remove the air filter box. That's not necessary. I just had to remove the little black box thing that's right above the coils. I also did the wires and was lucky enough to be able to reach my arm down to the plugs from above so I didn't have to jack it up or remove the wheel. You need a long extension and remember to do them one at a time so you don't forget what coil each plug wire goes to.

yup. starts quicker, too.

Best to do the coils/wires at the same time (and 'plugs for that matter) just so you match up the firing sequence properly (do one at a time). You only need to remove that portion of the intake above the coils to provide visibility/access (unless you have Superman x-ray vision and Mr. Fantastic pliable fingers). ;)

nice job

good job!
