Default mostly bragging

so I have owned a few of these vehicles and on the d2, always removed the I.M. to change wires. I have replaced a couple of wires (here and there) without the im removal (PITA) but just purchased a new 2me d2 and thought I'd give it a try, without ......I conclude that everyone on this forum is a fat dwarf....... took me 22 minutes with Vaseline, beer, and no tools. so if you think it is a tight squeeze........lube up. I am a big guy and I had no problem.

Awesome! What time can you be here to change mine? I'm buying the wires and beer of course.

Did you tattoo the firing order on your arm?! Haha.

I tackled this job not to long ago. It would have took me 35 (w/o lube, although i had to stretch things a little, haha) if one of the plug wires didn't snap off inside the coil. In the end I replaced both coil packs and wires.

Exception to your conclusion...I'm not a fat dwarf. But, I couldn't have done it in 22min, so you've got a right to brag.

the firing order, tattoo would have been an idea. I just spray painted that on the windshield.

Default so you can laugh

so since I bragged about my 22 min lighting speed, Friday fun night tune up. I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out what I screwed up in the process. too much lube, perhaps (either one), but its a no go this morning. started fine last night, but this morning a lot of turning over but no crank and flasher come on when i try.

My guess is, I just scared it.
