needed tools... 12mm socket for coils and 5/8 spark socket. 10mm for washer bottle. its simple i can now do it in 20mins before it took hours.
my car ran like crap with the 1step colders. had to go back to the stockers. I have fmic, tbe nocat, intake, utec stage2 map, sard r2d2 bov. going to get tuned with the 1stepcolders but for now cant drive the car it misses allover the place and stalls.

Hey guys i am looking to swap my plugs. Right now I have a Catless TBE and intake along with lightened pulley and fuel pump. Would you recommend Colder plugs or stic kto stock? When I start tuning my car I look to run about 18PSI..... So I am leaning towards colds but not sure how it will affect the car right now...What problems could I see with the colder plugs?

Oh and you ROCK Crewchief! This is a huge life saver....Maybe I can roll over to your place or you can come donw to mine when I get plugs and we can enjoy an easy install that hsouldn't take very long!

Just changed my plugs today, as part of my DIY 60K service. This writeup helped a lot, thanks! Like Wolfplayer said earlier though, I did not see a need to take the battery out and so I did the job with battery in place. No problems -- as long as you have the right length extensions for your socket set!

Check out my nightmare with colder plugs on this thread!...I thought it was my battery, then my standalone, nope...colder PLUGS

If you have any questions about the colder plugs...post it there since this is more of a DIY sticky and should not be thread-jacked.

BTW - nice write up Crew

Ok, if you stand by the drivers side fender then the part of the clip you have to press in on the clip itself is facing you. Grab a small flat-head to push in the release clip as you pull the plug up OR get a needle nose and squeeze the clip in as up pull the clip up. Hope this helps
