Well when i got home i reseated the gas cap (hey, its always the stupidest
thing), and reset the PCM. I completely forgot to check what the code was.
But i have sence been driving around with no check engine light as of yet.
Also what have you guys heard about the Bosch 4417s. I heard that they
could possibly distroy (maybe just damage) the coil set ups on 4.7s. I went
ahead and picked up some Autolite 3923s, but i havent put them in yet. The
damn Bosch's where to much money to throw away. I want to be certin that i
have to take them out. Any clues would be helpful. As it sits, i think im
gonna pull them out after work tomorrow. But i really dont want to, they
just sound like better plugs. :) Thanks.
