Change Plugs/wires On 98ls

Recommended Posts

I have seen the instructions for the 91LS... how is the 98 compared to that?

Can I use the same instructions/how to?

Car would not start this morning -- had to crank it about 5 times. My prevous LS never did that.

thanks

If your 98 LS has the VVTi engine like my 98 GS does, then it doesn't have plug wires. It has coil-on-plug ignition, so after removing that assembly on each cylinder it is just a matter of replacing the spark plugs.

I doubt that the spark plugs are causing the long crank when starting. Sounds like something else - fuel pressure perhaps.

Dealer said it was the Idle Control Valve... so far so good -- it starts strong/quick, and runs fine and the RPM shows steady idle speed at a stop light; all problems I had before they changed out this part.

I thank them. Now I can start enjoying my new ride.

Waiting to get the tint and then we shall have some pics for the club.

YUP! Got rid of the 91 -- moving on up... next might be a 2000 in about two or so years.

Happy so far, except that lock in Drive feature is not there like I was told it was. So we working on rectifieing on that :)

NO WIRES???

So that means all you do is change the pluges when you do a tune up?
