Well I changed out my spark plugs,pita as usual. My problem now is the coil pack screw. I dropped one and lost it. There are two too each pack. I lost one. How long can I go without one? And does any one have any? Or know where I can get one?
I also cleaned out the throttle body seems as thou every one does it when doing the plugs any way. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I'd put a small dab of rtv sealant on the one screw hole and screw the other screw in and that should hold it for now until you pick up another screw.

Is that possible??

 

That would be a good idea. However All I can tell so far is they just secure the pack from lifting up. When you take them apart (to do plugs) They are kinda snug cuz of the plug grommets. So I think i'm good there. I suppose I can go a while without It runs fine, took out the ecm fuse, I wasn't sure which one. So I took out 23,31,and 38 lol. One of them did the trick. It wasn't 29 btw. I looked. Cleaned the tb as well. So i'm pretty good to go. I kinda wanna take it out and see where i'm at power wise, mpg wise. and all that jazz. My gaps were enormous btw. .065/.070 I gapped too specs, .045 btw.

 

The old plugs were gapped enourmous from wear or was it your new plugs were not properly gapped?

 

No the old ones were way off. Didn't see much erosion either. The new ones just needed a little tweeking if that. some if not all were real close btw.

 

do you have a jar of different types of bolts laying in your garage or something? if so try and match one up, it can be shorter than the original bolt, but not longer.

 

Thats exactly what Happened, .75 cents later at true value. They had a metric tray for auto body. It was a little shorter, and without the shank but she threaded true and tightened right up. Problem solved. Has the same appearance as oem so I guess I got lucky. Gotta keep a grip on these little effers lol.
Thanks for the imput, It does not go unappreciated.

 

Good deal, I was gonna suggest unscrewing the other one and running to the local hardware store with it but you fixed it before I saw this thread, LOL...

 

And exactly as You stated! lmao! There must be something to this 40 something thinking lol. Thanks Hammer.
