Default NEED INFO FAST!!

i'm in the middle of changing my spark plugs. 6 have come out so far with no problems!!!! my question is, when reattaching the coils....do you just push them onto the spark plug, then reattach the coil bolt?? they don't seem to be in there good as when i pulled them off. how can i be sure it's on the end of the spark plug good enough??

thanks

when you fire it up you will know

I changed my coils to the accels yesterday and noticed the same thing. But i did one side and fired her up and it was fine, then did the other and all was good.

Alright, thread hijacking time... Soooooo, how are the Accels? I've been thinking about the GMS ones.

well i got the car out this morning finally and drove it to work...

Initial install and start up.
Some people say they noticed a smoother idle and it seemed to be a little quicker sounding. I cant say i really noticed it to be that much smoother.

During normal driving i didnt notice anything really different from 1200-3k

I did one hard take off starting in 2nd gear and 3rd gear and it felt a little quicker on the top end (4K+). I wasnt expecting much but i was quite suprised actually.

As for MPG, not clue yet but again im not expecting miracles. I would say that for the 200 I paid its not bad but I will give it another good pull one the way home and see.
