It seems odd all of these codes were due to the emission system leaks.

Dual monitors are great lol. Thanks again yyymmm31 for the Clear Brake Malfunction Tutorial. Fixed my brake hold delay. Tutorial on one screen, techstream on the other.

Valve cover removed. This side is a pain. There is a horizontal bolt on the inverter wire bracket near the valve cover. If you remove that one bolt the inverter has about 1/2" of play to remove the coil pack.

Another view. Still the left bank insulator. I think this is what I smelled burning.

The right bank insulator was in much better shape. It was only slightly damp with oil.

Mine was saturated with oil. The insulating foam had turned black from oil cooking on it. ( left bank)

Down in the groove there is a black plastic insulator that is a magnet for oil.

All of them except one were cracked. I took a few out very gingerly and they were still cracked. I think they cracked long ago. Note the top ring that pops out. This gives the coil packs a little more freedom to slide out.

Gold car had a glued on headlight mount. Plus it was missing the wire harness locking clip. Luckily the headlight mount was not part of the headlamp. I was able to swap it over.

On both cars I ended up unbolting the fenders to get the headlights out. The panel gaps still lined up pretty well.

Please someone stop me if I ever dare to buy another one of these. I was tired of wrenching on this a year ago.

This front end came apart a bit easier. I don't believe it was ever in a collision.

I didn't realize our headlights had window washer fluid cleaners. My wife asked how is that supposed to work with no wipers? Another useless feature.

The car car nut on youtube has a good example of what not to do. At least to me it looked wrong. After removing the c clip he hits the jiggly bits repeatedly with a hammer. I'd suggest using a different method. I have a hydraulic press from harbor freight. The cv fit directly in the center of the press and I pushed the shaft out, easy peasy. I did use a cloth under the bearings to protect them while in the press.

Mine definitely had some wear. It made no noise before or after the boot was replaced. I cleaned this out with brake cleaner then immediately added a light coat of grease to it to prevent rust.

To save some time I replace both arms and the lower ball joint. Saves the hassle of removing the arms from the lower joint.

It looks like the uppers have been replaced before. That rear yellow one doesn't look like the factory ones I've removed. You'll want to look up close on all 4 of the uppers where I put that red mark. If you see tearing with the wheels cranked left or right they going bad.
