Default Bad Coil Pack Or Plug Wires

I searched and just couldnt get what I wanted. Car started missing and jumping on me a couple days ago. Looked at all the coil packs and one has redish orange residue on it and is all corroded inside(along with my plug wire). I figured that was the problem so I ordered a new Coil pack, Should I get new Plugs? Also Im running tr55s, should I change them also?

your plug that was misfiring due to the bad coil is most likely fouled up. i had the same problem. my #2 coil pack went bad. i replaced it and it was still runnin crappy so i replaced the spark plug too and its 100% now!!

Thanks, Thats what I thought. Did you get a SES Light? Might as well order some msd's and another set of tr55s.

When ever you replace a coil you should also replace the plug
