Coil and Spark Plug DIY

Okay Guys,

I was looking into spark plug change and coil pack change and saw a few DIY's written out but didnt see anyone reference this video. It makes it easier for me to see it like this. Sorry if its a repost!

Wow, a really well done video.

Hmm, I'm rather surprised that the wires going to each coil were sorta loose and not bundled more neatly... Function over form, I guess.

I notice it when I'm drying the car after a wash... Looks like a microphone of some sort.

Maybe its a temp sensor for something. ? I know the outside temp sensor is under the front bumper of the car.
