    The sensor before the MAF should be the IAT sensor (intake air temp). You could have the ICM tested but often they show good even if they aren't. If you have a spare ICM laying around then swap it in and install your existing coils. If you still have a miss then start by replacing the coils 1 at a time until it goes away. If you replace the entire ICM and all 3 coils all at once you will never know which part(s) are bad.

    They are a wierd size, and the 5.5mm is correct, but you can also use a 7/32 socket to get them out. I use it all the time. And don't have to he-man them on, just snug will work.

    thanks fordman. I was going to try to get that one coil out that i coudnt yesterday and swap with other gtp in driveway (the crap one with over 300k, But never has major issues lol) I used 7/32 to get the rest out. with out issue.the bolted has been totally rounded by past owner so im going to just try to get my multi-tool out a try to cut to get a flat head screw driver in there. or i i mite just get the angle grinder out and cut the whole coil out with screw. but we will see.
    again thank you Fordman for the advise! keep it coming
