changing plugs and plug wires

Gorilla said:

yes it is involved. I moved the cruise control module and the steering assembly out of the way. Be careful with the plug removal make sure you have a good socket. the plugs a subject to breaking during removal so I would recommend spraying some penetrating fluid on them and let it soak. Might as well replace your coil pack at the same time. take your time. It can be done. Good Luck

Any idea's

Bird food in the exhaust.....Sounds more like mice....And the mice love to chew on wiring.:gah:...I keep my Snowmobiles and ATV's and Side-By's in a pole barn....and its the mice that will do the most damage to wiring..And fill the air cleaners with their nests ..

Acorns, Yes and mostly from Red Squirrels and Chipmunks..Mice are your seed /and bird seed hoarders. I have to put mothballs around any ATV'S I'm not going to use for the winter to keep the mice out....We keep a few hundred pounds of whole corn in our barn at our cabin to feed the deer though the winter and the mice will sometimes fill our hunting booths with corn from the barn and also wild seed....Gives them something to do during the winter when the Squirrels are hibernating....
