Bruised and broken. All thanks to Aston1936

I’ve said curse words that I didn’t know were in my vocabulary.
I have bruises on parts of my body that I didn’t know could bruise.
My back is quite angry with me.
I now how the patience of a saint.
Thanks Steve! Please DM and tell me where I can send the case of beer...

I've successfully diagnosed and replaced my plugs, coil packs, intake gaskets, and PCV valves thanks to Steve at Aston1936 and his enormous site. I did notice a few slight variations from his DIY. Such as, the injectors on my 07 DB9 have small locking tabs holding them to the fuel rails so only the green o-ring gaskets needed replaced. Also, I added some additional hose clamps to the PCV vacuum lines. Lastly, no check engine lights came on after restarting. Went for an hour drive and did the misfire re-learn process and all is good and she runs like a new car now. It was well out of my normal comfort zone but I watched the how to videos a bunch and gathered the courage to tackle this. I just want to say again, thanks Steve, and thanks to everywhere here in the community.



Partially disassembled. I had a panic attack at this moment.

Me and my trusty Omega Seamaster, ready to finish it up.

Almost back together.

My makeshift workbench.
