When to replace coil packs?

[greiswig]

Just about to replace my spark plugs at about 65,000 miles. It’s not a trivial job.

I’m wondering if I should hold off and order a new set of coils to put in there at the same time? IOW, are these often starting to burn out between 60-100,000 miles, or am I likely good to just use what’s in there if I have the plugs gapped to .040”?

Coil failures are rare.
Reuse what you have.
Plugs come pregapped. Don't mess with it.

Just curious, what's tricky about replacing plugs on these cars?

Fiddly getting good access to the last couple of plugs. I find the wiring harness on the passenger side to be a bit annoying too.

I gave up trying to be a contortionist and spent the effort to get the plastic trays out of the way. One for the main battery, and one for the auxiliary battery and its charger. Even then, the A/C lines are in the way on the driver's side, and you have to work around them.
