I have put back the old fuel filter as well.


I am going to use my stock wires and the new coils for my first test drive.

I KNOW THAT CHEAP PARTS ARE NOT IDEAL. I have discovered that our cars do not like cheap parts, but finding cheap parts should be one of the benefits of driving an 11 year old car. WE own the redheaded step child of cars when it comes to Chrysler Parts and Technicians that have a clue. MB techs turn their nose up to this car but if they knew what we know......

BTW, all my cheap parts have warranty and are returnable. I get them in 2 days and the few that work out are quite gratifying. My coils are RED! If i could find OEM red coils, I would have bought them.... Wires are from Prenco. They look identical to the wires I took out of the car. I will report back later today, once I torque my plugs to spec and get the wires back on.
I'm glad you got all that straightened out and I hope everything works out for you and you get to enjoy your car again,
PS, I still think it was the fuel filter regulator on the new filter there has been numerous cases where new fuel filter regulators malfunction.
