Coil Pack Replacement - DIY??

Engine is running rough and I am pulling a Code P1343 which is a Cylinder 1 misfire. I have been told this could be a bad plug or bad coil pack. Plugs were replaced 10K miles ago, so I am going to try the coil pack. Is this a DIY project or do I need to go to the shop and have my Indy do it??

Follow the DIY instructions for spark plug replacement to replace the coil pack. Should take 15-20 minutes at most. Very easy.

OK, this might be a stupid question, but is Cylinder #1 the one in front or the one in the rear of the engine??

:thumbup: Thanks everyone - local dealer has coil pack in stock - tech actually said, "oh yeah, we replace those all of the time." Headed that way after work.
