If it was running fine before then something is not connected properly. Recheck that the connectors to the coil packs are completely snapped in place. The spark plug boots are a bear to get all the way back on. Drink some protein and push on each one real hard, I'll bet one or more of the boots aren't all the way on. Basically, recheck the work done because most likely that's where the problem lies. Speaking from learning the hard way myself.

You mean the spark plug cable was not snapped on to the spark plug properly?

I was going to recommend using dielectric grease on the boots so they snap on/off easier but it seems RP has it figured out. Its always good to use anti-sieze and dielectric grease on any spark plug job. Thats my position, and I'm sticking to it!

WELL CRAP !!! Went to go run an errand and the coolient light was on and the air conditioner stopped blowing cool air - are these two related ?? Had antifreeze in the car but filled it up more and the coolient light is still on - the temp gauge is staying the same - checked fuses and it was fine - AGAIN IM AT A LOSS!!!! Can someone give me any ideas besides driving it off a cliff??

Take it in to the dealer and never never "fix" that car again.. LOL. Think if you search for coolant light you can find some information relating, might be the sensor went Kaput.. Stopped blowing cool air.. fan stopped or dragon breath thing?

When you say coolant light, do you mean the low fluid light? If so I'll follow along because mine is also lighting up. Goes on and off. My air works and my fan also works.

Did you give this fuse a look too?

Top Right Hand corner links you back to the full thread.. worth a read on the rest of it.

Still working on it -checked fuses they all checked out fine -now i have another question -i changed the oil and didn't get the oil ring just right but didn't know this til i drove it the next day -didn't go far but probably lost a quart of oil -could this have an effect ?? I cleaned everything up and took a ride today and the air ran fine and no dash lights on like coolient light - so is it possible that the oil that spewed all over has something to do with this??
