we dont really need this thread.... not to mention the OP only posted once on this site.

The tutorials on www.lexls.com are geared more towards 89-94 models and some may be the same for 95-97. The 98-00 has VVT-I and the head, intake, and ignition is redesigned, so yeah we need updated info.

On your 98 ls 400 when you replaced the wires did they run to a cap/rotor configuration or to COP. ? Planning on buying all the parts needed for this weekend

98+ are COP, no consumables to replace other than plugs.

be careful with the coil connectors, they get brittle with age.

compressed air to blow any debris out of the plug recesses.

I only got to the end of the first post.... You seriously paid $14 a plug for plugs that are $7 a piece on rockauto???

I have $1.50 a plug NGK 4554 plugs in my car - Better than the NGK Iridiums I had.

and then for an added discount:
