Assuming
My little rantI hate it when people say, I am not getting spark, or I am not getting fuel, and 9 times out of 10 they are just assuming. Like when people have a no start condition so they replace plugs. I have NEVER seen plugs cause a no start issue. The first step in ANY no start condition (when engine does crank though) Is to check fuel and spark. This means fuel pressure, Not just push the shrader in with a stick and see if it sprays.
This will help us answer people alot quicker. and people, if u have a check engine light on, dont just say, "I have a check engine light". Tell us what it is. There are a 1000 things it could be, so get it scanned!!!

I hear ya brother. There are many things that get asked many, many times. A little searching can go a long way. And a little rant can de-stress us to.
I had an engine die (#3 piston blew apart). When I got the replacement engine I reused the same plugs from the blown engine in it. Except the #3 spark plug......that thing was mashed. I don't see any reason to change plugs unless there is something wrong with them.

on a foot note: when you scan it the code is not the problem, ie. if it says egr don't put anegr valve in and come say wtf. check hoses and any wireing. same with O2, it's the circuit including anything that effects it
