Your a bloody legend mate.
Yeah i looked at it and figured i was gonna need a fair idea first. Plus due supercheaps 20% sale the salesman sold me the wrong leads so had to take them back. Gotta wait till Tuesday to go to repco and get me some ngk leads, KN air filter and a new fuel filter and then have some fun. |

Make sure the car is cool, and take out the airbox. Do one at a time, and have two people. You pull one lead off , they pull it off at the plug, hold your finger on the little knob it came off, you cant see it, only feel it. Get them to get the right lead, put it on the plug, pass it through and clip it on. Do it one at a time, easy as. Takes about 10 minutes.

Nope, I have average hands - take out the airbox and you can do it.
Mine had leads 1,2,3 and 4,5,6 in two lots of tubing - so it was not possible to do them one at a time. However, the leads I have are numbered so it is possible to do them all at once - I did it this way, replaced the coil pack why I was at it (had a bad misfire). |

Well im hoping a lead and plug change will help.
The cars been real jerky recently and feels likes it about to stall. Plus hard to start. So done an oil change using penrite, new filter. Planned for new plugs and leads fuel filter step up to a KN filter Give the throttle body a clean Paint my brake calipers a nice black (this is gonna add atleast 20hp) Then tuesday do some running around and see what a nice pacemaker with 3 inch pipe split into dual exhaust would set me back. Gotta love the stimulus package. Any other suggestions would be greatly accepted |

Have you changed your air filter lately, or if you have a KandN filter, cleaned it?
