    Well I wish I could report an uneventful trip back to Memphis from Baton Rouge but about 20 miles from Memphis I developed a slight engine miss. No check engine light .I am hoping it is the seals for the spark plug tubes letting some oil past and shorting out the spark plug. I really wanted to change out the valve cover gasket and spark plugs before I left but we flat just ran out of time. I will be pulling the valve cover and all the spark plugs tomorrow. It seemed to clear up when I got off the expressway for the remainder of the trip so I don't think its anything serious.
    Just a lil bit further and you'd have your VANOS knocked out too.

    Well pulled coils and they were all dry . Pulled all the spark plugs and they looked the same, I went ahead and replaced them for piece of mind.

    How much do you guys pay for plugs ? The dealer quoted me $28 each for NGK Iridiums !!! I went to Napa and got the same plugs for $8 each.I understand a little markup but that was ridiculous, end of rant.

    Car seems tto be running perfect but I think the miss will return and I suspect it will be a coil pack. I will take the car by my buddies shop to test them, well if I can get the car back from my wife. She Loves it !!!
