Just noticed your post! I went ahead threw the new plugs in this weekend. Only took about 20 minutes! In hindsight, I should have removed all of the coil packs first, then started with the plug furthest to the right. I would've been done in 10mins!

Cat is running as smooth as ever, Btw. It's much easier to cruise at 80-85mph, I noticed. With the old plugs, it wasn't so easy. Matter of fact, it was loud!

 

is there a particular reason as to begin on the right and remove all the coilpacks first? also i just dont have the tools so i cant begin as fast as id like to.

im also hoping this will solve my issue with the car speed dropping so fast when i let off the gas. as soon as i ease off my gas on fairly even road my speedometer needle jus drops fairly quick while in 5th gear too.

 

Why would that have anything to do with the spark plugs?

 

sorry to bring up old thread, just wanted to know whether anyone knows the difference between ik22 and iq22 plugs?

 

IQ - JIS 53mm height
IK - ISO 50.5mm height

seat to top of terminal

 

Not sure where the 0.044" gap info came from. The factory manual specs the gap at 1.2mm-1.3mm (0.047"-0.051").
