Hi all,
This morning my car started rumbling fairly moderately, and the CEL started flashing. Brought it in to my usual highly rated auto shop, and they got two codes:
P0302
P1399
After diagnostic, they said they found the spark plug and coil pack need replacing, and valve adjustment for the #2 cylinder. However, they recommended that I replace the spark plugs, coil packs, and valve adjustments for all 6 cylinders. Total quote was $1169! That seems a bit expensive.
I asked how much it would be to replace only the cylinder #2 spark plug and coil pack, and they said it would be $120, a very large difference from $1169.
Question:
1. Do I need to replace all 6? Do I need valve adjusting?
2. I asked about clogged EGR valve and they said they didn't check, but said that it's not really an issue. Doesn't seem to match up with what other people on this board think.
3. Do you recommend replacing the spark plug and coil pack myself?
Any other thoughts are appreciated.
