Recently my dash lit up like a Las Vegas sign. No specific code. Later that afternoon the codes disappeared. Two days later the codes came back and I caught it with a P0305. Well that's fixable.

I had a new set of Denso Iridium spark plugs and Denso Coils already in stock. So I change coils, plugs, and replaces a few miscellaneous vacuum lines that were beginning to look frayed at the ends. While removing the old plugs they felt like they were finger tight. I could see a little bit of exhaust smudge on the lower threads. I consider myself lucky since there were no time certs or Heli coils or latent problems waiting to be uncovered. I did find an aftermarket coil on Cyl #5. Voila the problem.

The job went easily and and Maroon is running like a new baby. So well that It passed the coin balance test.

Here's to an old 2UZ and the coin balance test.

Rolls Royce had an advertisement doing that on their V12 engine. They revved it up and it stayed in place.
