This is a good and thorough guide on changing the coil-on-plugs. I just bought a 2000 LS-V8 and within a week the engine would begin to falter. The code from the OBDII showed the #4 spark plug/coil. I changed it and now it works okay, but all the other coils are original so I ordered the rest. Whoever worked on this engine did a sloppy job, so I have my work ahead of me but I think it is worth the challenge. Thanks again for this video on how to get to the rest of the plugs & coils.
@@labratflowhoodz I’d get some hesitation for a few seconds if cruising at about 40mph. If it gets bad you’ll get misfire codes and a check engine light. Changing the coils fixed that.
Great video with step by step instruction that are extremely easy to follow, THANK YOU!!! My only question would be. If your in that deep already, why would you not change your spark plugs also? Since it seems such a time consuming job. I think I'd change out my plugs also. With my luck if I didn't change plugs. On the coil test ride I would probably foul a plug, lol. Thanks again!!!
You can change them if they have been in for a while. The owners manual or maintenance schedule might say when to change them. Could be around 100k miles.

So, did this fix the surge you were experiencing? My car is doing the same and I'm considering this.
