Fitted the 4th and last new coil pack and revived some poke.  Didn't sort lumpy idle though...

Tomorrow I will be mostly fitting a temp sensor, tracing a possible vac leak and giving the old girl a clean.

Fitted new coolant temp sensor.
Removed, cleaned and re-aligned throttle body.
Removed and cleaned intake air temp (IAT) sensor.
Fiddled around under intake manifold looking for possible vac leak.
Found one of the SAI hoses was loose at the air box.

Seems to idle a bit better now from cold, though still a little "jumpy".

Thoroughly washed it and then admired all my hard work.
