its a white plug about 2 and 1/2 inches long. Right under the steering column (to the left of it) cant miss it. Did you get a CEL or something? if so whats the code?

cylinder 4 misfiring....pepboys wanted 84.99 to simply check the code, discount did it 4 free.

i'll install new plugs tomorrow, maybe that's the problem (cool)

hmmm, weird, stock plugs should last more than that.

well, this is the second time that #4 cylinder has failed me, the first time the car was still under warranty and they replaced the coils and plugs for free, and that fixed the problem...until now

hopefully it's just the plugs
