(This comming weekend). I jacked the picture of the Sportage engine with the head taken off for visual reference from another site. Sorry. I will not perform this mechanical feat this time around. Not needed. Thank you members; for providing all the useful/neccessary knowlege to perform this task.

I replaced the next set on a tune up, kept them for spares, replaced that set when I rebuilt my engine so I have another set of spares. I have never had one split on me.

I would have bought them if they were on the list provided at the begining of the thread... Are coils something that should be added to the spark plug changing list? Or is this just something you have to wait to find out after you have dissasembled everything? I want it to be easiest for the next mechanical novice. 2002 4dr Kia Sportage 4X4 Tires:235/75/15, Wheels: Black 15x8 Steel ProComp 2.5" B.S., Hubs:Warn Manual, Lift:3" UPYOURKIA, Trailer Hitch, Cargo Rack, Clinometer.

Standard makes them for KIA. The reason I know, I went the dealer to get one back when mine cracked and they pulled it off the shelf in a Standard box. I looked at the box, told them no thanks, not at your price. Walked a couple of doors down to my local auto parts store, and asked for them to see if they could get me the same part. They had them sitting on their shelf and were less than 1/2 the price the stealer wanted.

So I pull the wires out of the coil packs so I can wrap some electrical tape around them and realise that I didn't take note of which colour goes where. Stupid! There are four wires: the two short wires are blue and white. The two long wires are blue and green. Which one goes to the two connections on the coil pack? 99 Auto Sportage.
