Very grateful I found this. Thank you for your contribution. ❤ Note: for those that don’t have a special socket for spark plugs. I used some electrical tape on the inside of the socket. Hope that helps.

[@talzotar7580]

many mechanics don't even mention what kind of spark plugs they replace with ,Is it OEM or NGK laser iridium for the KIA optima lx or SE. which one ?

[@ncgoon336]

If not changed will this cause the car to idle low like it’s gonna cut off but doesn’t. It will idle low like it’s gonna cut off then jump back to normal. I don’t have a check engine light on

[@Tweakin]

Yes bad plugs and coil packs will effect idle

[@thatskull]

Yes, mine was doing this and literally just changed the plugs and its back to smooth idle/driving
