plugs and wires are ngk so they must have been replaced (just bought the car in august)
what do you mean by coil?
how often do you have to change plugs and wires?? thanks
* Plugs & Wires are replaced every 30K is what I remember.
* The timing belt is due every 90K miles or six years, whichever comes first.
* By coil, I'm referring to the ignition coil within the distributor. If the ignition coil is petering out at speed, that may be the source of your CEL codes.
Given what you've said, the most likely cause for your CEL codes is plug fouling due to oil burning.
Has the engine ever overheated? What about routine oil changes? My 98 LS burns less than a quart in 2500 miles, so something is up with your bottom end. It sounds like the previous owner was very hard on the car..
