Maintenance
Replaced spark plugs, engine mounts, tranny mount and fuel filter yesterday. Total cost was about $500. 2 went to my friend for doing most of the install since he is MUCH more mechanically sound.
A couple questions:
1. The clips connecting the harnesses to the top of the ignition coils are brittle. Many of the snaps broke. Even though the electrical connections seem fine, i would like to replace these. Do I need to replace the entire harness or can I buy just the clips?
2. When revving the motor while in park, a very slight stutter occurs at around 2700 RPM's. This was not present before and am wondering what could be the cause of this?
BTW, mounts & filter were purchased at autohausaz while NGK Iridium IX's were purchased at Pep Boys for 7bucks each before online coupons brought down the cost to $5.75

2. Check the gaps on your plugs. Make sure it is to spec, and they are matching.
