Our 2001 Firebird was having some problems and throwing a P0300 code, so we changed the coil packs and is running great again.

Not bad for just a wash&wax with Griot's. In typical fashion it started raining after washing it, so I said screw it and took pictures anyway. Also yes, I know a need a bigger sun shade.

Finally warm enough here in MN to take her for a spin today. Put a Wheelskins wrap on it too.

Changed out the PCV valve and grommet, in typical fashion it took longer than it really should. Tomorrow will be radio install, hopefully the Scosche kit is true to its word being direct fit for the Camaro/Firebird.

Put in my stereo, wasn't an exact fitment installation wise since it turns out the kit is only for up to '92 Firebird but up to '02 Camaro(thanks eBay seller). Fitment itself with the adapters and face place was spot on though, so it all worked out.
