Ya I have good spark, and funny thing is when it starts it only idles, Give it gas and nothing, There is something weird going on this time, and when it was idling the smoke was pouring out the exhaust, It smelt like antifreeze arggggggggggggg and when I pulled plug one it would start, put the plug back in it wouldn't. And parts for this car are crazy, SOme I read said they replaced this or thaty and it worked for them, well these parts are $300-$400, just for the smalls. If my friend wants this running right he will have to spring for a real mechanic LOL.

Before you ordered plugs,
did you check to see if they were getting ANY juice themselves? Problem easily could be upstream from the plugs.

Now, if you just wanted new plugs for the sake of new plugs and the old ones were shot, that is different obviously.

Nice car. I like it..... I am partial to Mercedes styling and like the C class, especially the 300 4 matic

Unfortunately, I am not interested in the cost of maintenance on these vehicles or the parts.

So I drive a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport trimmed out. Very nice ride and everything we need to be comfortable, quiet, and enjoy a smooth ride and a long warranty.

IF it performs like my last vehicle, it should last for a long time before needing replaced.....

That is my goal anyway....
