I didnt use a dedicated spark plug socket to install the plugs. However, I did use a thin walled 14 deep socket to install them. Now that i think of it, the socket left one of the terminals on the plugs a little dirty with old grease and dirt. It could be that the terminal isnt making full contact with the ignition coil. Hmmm....I ordered an OBD II code reader, Once it comes in Ill take the car for a spin with it plugged in and see what kind of codes its picking up. For now, itll stay parked since its not my daily.

Thanks for the help guys
