    There are only 3 wires. They run from the coil packs on one side to the spark plug directly on the other.

    OP... whether you get the Denso or NGK plugs... get the dual tip plugs. Should be a sticker on the front engine cover that says they are needed on the driver side... but just put them in both sides.

    Thanks. I guess I coulda called dealership too. Seems like everyone makes it so complicated.
