what kind of coil cover do you have? I have one with a hidden bracket so that no hardware shows. There are three screws that hold the cover to the bracket from the bottom.

Yes, had the dealer do work last spring but they took the primary cover off and this screw is way too small. But my dealer has worked on it several times. I was thinking the same thing. As in the past they have done the stage1, replaced the fuel injectors, etc.

Got a neighbor that wound up pulling the cover off his transmission. When he did, he noticed 3 out of 5 screws inside it missing. How they got out of there is the mystery. May want to pull the cover off and check.

I keep sayin, if there is no lockwasher, star washer, or spring washer, locknut of some kind, put loctite on it or it will come loose. Also, the only time I really worry about a leftover "whatever" is when I take it apart. Put it in a safe place with a tag that says extra, find a place for it" or you will darn sure forget why you saved it. OOPS, that's for me, I'm old and lucky I can remember my name
