I'm going to make a DIY for changing out coils on Saturday.

Where are you located in California? If you are close to me, I can help you out.

all u need is a 10mm socket, extension bar, a ratchet, and maybe 1/2 hour of time.

I felt the same way when I changed mine but if you can unscrew and screw stuff together you should be more than fine........just make sure the engine bay is cool or else....well u know the rest

the bhr guys are cool, they have a good rep on customer service...you can buy the stock coils and wires from them or you can buy their aftermarket kit....i say you buy coils, aftermarket wires (racing beat has good ones), and the stock spark plugs, REALLY easy to change out...

to change out the coils all you need is a rachet, extension and i believe a 10mm socket...theres 4 nuts that need to come out, really easy to see and get too, just do one at a time. After the nut is out just unclip the coil and bam pull it out and replace

Sorry to digress from the main subject, but what did you use to clean the MAF sensor?

You can use Electric Contact Cleaner or buy a cleaner that actually says MAF Cleaner.
Should be able to get these at the local Auto store.
