    few inches to get at the back ones.
    I have long arms + massive forearms and I can get to all plugs easily in modified or stock engine bays without moving anything.

    Whenever I have had this issue with a car I will spend 25-30 minutes and check the spark plugs for cracks, check the wires and/or swap out a set with a known good set to see if thats the problem before buying a set for that car, swap out the ignition coils with known good ones from another car, swap out the ignition control module with known good one from another car.

    Well it turns out it was the CAT. After changing it, it runs better than when I bought the car. The whole inside of the CAT was broken in pieces.

    Now I just have to figure out whats causing the Service ABS, Service Brakes, Service Stability Control, Service Traction Control, and Service Variable Effortless Stearing lights to go on. The car runs perfect, so Im not sure why these lights are all coming on. Let me know if anyone else has this problem.
