   Will do.  Depending on available time and the weather, I might work on that in   
   the near future.

   Yes, all the sensors and ECM really provide the best life and efficiency to   
   the plugs.  Normally if one sensor doesn't work, you will get a code and   
   should fix it.  The only exception I have seen is the MAF - since that can get   
   "dirty" and still work.  Just not measuring the air flow properly.   
      
   RW> The big difference being that it has only one coil to fire 6 cyl.   
      
   True.
