When I had my coil-pack and plug wires replaced, the coil was covered under the 50,000 mile emissions warranty, but most of 
the diagnostic time and the plug wires were not (don't ask :-(  ).  In an effort to twist my arm into paying for the 
remainder of the bill, the dealer informed me up front that the coil pack retails for around $500!!!!  I don't know if this 
is the case, as I did not pay for it, so I did not price it myself.  The plug wires varied between dealers, and ranged from 
$90 to $110.  The new part number for the wires are for RED ones.  Maybe steam cleaning would result in faster evaporation, 
resulting in fewer moisture related problems??
