Wow! What a difference.
Just changed out my spark plugs to NGK iridium plugs. Wow! It breathed new life into my old girl!
So excited I just had to share with like minded folks who would understand.

Wires too? If not how did you get your wires off without tearing them up, I didn't think that was possible from all the forum post...

I used a wire puller like that when I changed the plugs/wires on my '00 after 33K miles or so. Made the job very easy.
