Default Misfire

Had a misfire and service engine soon light flashed, then stayed on. I took it up to the local parts store to have them hook up the scanner. It was cyl. #8 that was misfiring. Had to remove and move several things out of the way, but I was able to get the old coil out and the new one in. Put everything back together and so far running like a champ again. I was kinda nervous to do it because I had never replaced a COP before and #8 is hard to get to, but decided to at least try it myself first.

Always a good feeling when you can save some money and fix something yourself
