The spark plugs, especially the number 3 plug really did need to be replaced. The engine varies cylinders based on driving demands but the number 3 cylinder is always firing. I was getting an error code and it was due to the 3rd cylinder spark plug. The car was misfiring like crazy and the error code pointed to the spark plugs amongst other things. Of course the number 3 cylinder plug is the hardest to get to. My mechanic gave me a good price to replace the set so I decided to let him do it! I got over 100K miles on the originals so I think that was pretty good!
