    Where are sparkplugs?

    If you are going to change the spark plugs, might as well replace the coil packs while you are there. 3 of my coil packs went bad before I reached 90k on the odometer. I was able to replace one of them myself, the #5 coil which is right up front. The two others required separate trips to a...
