where did you get them from?

DarkBrew 11-24-2007 04:38 PM

The plugs and coils were from http://www.finishlineperformance.com/ and the rear O2 sensor was from Mazsport on Ebay.

+1 Thanks for the pic's - i was just looking into finding a thread that had pic's of coil replacements -

chetrickerman 11-24-2007 05:03 PM

the problem that i get into when i tried checking my coils, is that large wire that is by or below the nuts that hold on the coils, that and the throttle body

DarkBrew 11-24-2007 05:15 PM

Joe (R.P.M.) used a 1/4" drive set with an extension (4") and pushed the wire just out of the way.

Joe pulled off the intake rubber piece and then we pulled the air box out of the way.

It's a good idea to pull the plug wire before unbolting the coil.

cool, and the nuts are 10 mm right?
