changed sparked plugs
it was an easy job minus the part where i had to remove the electrical harness connected to the coil packs. Plug 3 and 6 had a bit of oil on the spark plug when i removed them.

It's been answered. Op will need new valve covers. They go bad and you have to replace the entire covers.

Left and right side. Driver side and passenger side. If you can change your plugs, you can change the covers out. Do the reg: disconnect battery before you start and take your time. Search on here and you'll be fine.

They get old, or gap out over time.
May not be a big difference, but I think you can get a little bit better gas mileage with new plugs
