Douglas,
Currently that's what we are doing.=C2=A0 He got it back together as I was =
leaving.=C2=A0 He said he fired it up, and took for a test drive, no CIL, r=
an fine.=C2=A0 But this is something I've been afraid of=20
with the cars going 100Kmi / plug change.=C2=A0 We really don't know how ma=
ny miles are on these plugs as he's the 3rd owner.=C2=A0 I was figuring tha=
t if he was going to be in there, why not changed the plugs.=C2=A0 But when=
we ran into this problem he and I agreed, "if it aint broke, don't fix it"=
.
But I've got an 06 Scion xB with 64K mi, and a 12 second gen xB with 74Kmi =
and neither has had the plugs changed.=C2=A0 So I'm worried I may have the =
same problem.
If we decide to get the plugs out in the near future, I'll keep you posted,=
but don't hold your breath.=20
Thanks to all that responded.
