I noticed there were 2 different types of plug ins on each ignition coil. Do I unplug both from each one...or just one of them?

Update: Well I was able to diagnose the driver side ignition coil as bad, and bought a new one for 60$. I plugged it in before I unbolted the old one to just to make sure it works, and it runs just like before! Now I just have to get the old one off there.

The question is how? haha

the bracket is held in by 2 screws if I remember correctly, just a basic socket set will work. I had the same problem and did this a few months back.

Thanks for the help everyone it's all done. It runs even better than before, not bad for a $60 fix.
