Hey guys, I WOT last night and now have misfiring in cylinder 4, 5 and 6. I'm going to do a spark plug change but don't have the socket. Anyone willing to help me out here and let me borrow? I would order it but need this done in the next 2 days.

In addition, if I'm having misfiring, do you guys think I need to do the coils too?

Thanks in advance.

i gotta drive through wheeling to work. i can lend it to you and you can meet up with me sometime afterwards to give it back.

also, it's just a 12 point thin-walled 14mm socket. you could get it from sears or maybe an autoparts store. torque wrench is necessary too.

i can't remember where i got mine.

If you have Amazon Prime, you could order from there and have everything on Friday.

+1

Also, I'd prefer to replace all plugs+coils at once rather than go back and to the same work again.

Hey man I appreciate it. I think I might just order everything and take your advice on doing the coils too. I'll let you know if anything changes. again, thanks for the help.

no problem. it's not particularly hard to do just a little time consuming the first time.

if plans change, def let me know if you need the socket.

I work in Buffalo Grove and have 2 spark plug sockets. I can loan or sell you one cheap since I don't need two of them.

FYI, I changed plugs once (6k on them with a tune) and am now having misfires so I bought all new coils...if you do them (plugs and coils) all at once, you should be in great shape for a while...GL. There are all sorts of DIYs on these boards.

One tip: when pulling out the coils, flip the top clip then take a screw driver or long socket extension and slide it through the hole on the clip. Pull up and the coil pack will come right out...much easier and should be less likely to break.

Thanks for the tip. Yea I bought both coils and plugs to just do all at once. Might as well since everything will be off. Should be a straight forward job.

I actually bought everything but while waiting for everything to come in, it "fixed" itself. lol. I'm going to wait a few weeks till the weather gets a little nicer and tackle the job. Although today's weather seems awesome!!!
