[s-cars] Intro and stalling thread...

[Harold McComas]

Wow John, are you plagued with a fat wallet?  ;-) The $tealership will take 
car of that right away.
That coil is available for $ 133 at www.germanautoparts.com , other places 
will be close to that.
For used parts, try locally. Or www.force5auto.com in NH.

BTW, the torque on the sparkplugs is the same as the drain plug: 22 ft-lb. 
So yes get another torque wrench.
