I can tell by your other thread this is a very important topic for you.

 

The Ecotec 2.4 is a distributor less engine and the plug caps are coils.

 

Charles; you are spoiling all the fun! I was going to start offering high-performance plug wires, chrome coil covers, and red silicone spark plug boots!

I don’t know if I would categorize it as “important,” but I am pretty inquisitive. Maybe it’s my training as an Architect or working on cars with my dad as I was growing up, but I like to know how things go together and how they operate. I guess I have always been kind of a “backyard” mechanic working on most of my own cars. I think you have some of the same inquisitiveness by your responses on the forum and I appreciate that.

That’s why I like the HHR, it the first car I have had in awhile that I want to know as much about as I can and I just like tinkering with it. I looked at both the PT Cruiser and HHR when we were looking for a new vehicle and one of the reasons I decided to go with the HHR is because it looked like it would be a lot easier to work on the engine. The Pt’s engine compartment was just completely full of stuff with very little room to work.

The 18 years on Mini vans just didn’t do much for me, but they did a good job of transporting the girls as they grew up. The HHR is my wife's daily driver and our family car, but I have been able to do a few things to it, as you already know, (CGS Intake and Anti-Sway Bar). I know there are others on the forum with probably a very similar background so I just figured why not ask. Thanks for all of your responses.

Thanks Charles

I know I just need to get a book and start reading about the engine, so I know a little bit more. Kind of like what I had to do for the computer about 15 years ago.

 

Mike make little coil covers in chrome or silicone covers in different colors in sets of 4!!

 

John I grew working on cars with my father also, but would not try it anymore.

 

John,

I'm with you when it comes to figuring out how stuff works. I also had my days with carbs and plug wires. Remember when cars had distributors... Anyway, I'm not intimidated by fuel injection or electronic do-dads anymore either...

 

Not meant as a "Dig" in any way John - just funnin'.

(I hope you find out what it's for!)

 

I understood, I appreciated the humor. Too bad you are on the other coast because it would be great to see your shop.
