Thanks for all your input (even if you aren't able to do this)
I's love to, but we don't have many 2.2L owners in our neck of the woods.

Most out here have the 2.4L.

Thanks for the research folks. Owning a 2.4 I guess I'll wait a bit and see where the sparkplug thread goes

No worries Mike, we're thinkin the same.

So how about a VVT mod for the 2.2 so we can be more like you 2.4 people.

I have a 2.2L if you want to run some tests on mine once I get it back from the dealer. I am going to swap the plugs anyway.

well i just went to autozone the guy wasn't pay attention got all four for 7.15
and when i changed mine i noticed that after the idle was a lot smoother then it was before also i look at the tip of the old plugs the first one was black and the other three were white does that mean anything or is that normal.

Nice steal; literally.
Check this for your plugs.

It's possible. You can check the gap with a spark plug gapper, or to be more precise use feeler gauges and you will know.
