So this is a multi question:

Background - (2006 LR3) I have 2 codes showing P101 and P128 - My Movi scanner says the P128 set off the check engine light.

I've changed the MAF and started changing spark plugs (they need to be changed anyway I'm at 104k miles). I've changed the first three on the drivers side from front to rear. I can not remove the coil on the one closest to the driver, it hits a metal line (maybe the a/c line (FYI - I removed the heat shield)). So, any one know how to remove that coil so I can get to the plug?

I'll get to the thermostat when I get access to a lift (if anything it's stuck in the open position - there are worst things in life - better than the fail to close position of my old DII). There's plenty of knowledge on here about that procedure, thanks everyone!

Changed the MAF but P101 came back....I don't hear any audible vacuum leaks. Any suggestions out there. I'm hoping it'll go off after the thermostat install (unfortunately, hope is not a plan).

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I will answer my own question (at least what I've seen)....changed the thermostat and both codes have gone away for 2 weeks now. I'll change the remainder of the plugs when the weather warms up. We don't drive her as much as we used to.
