Make sure you did not Over Fill your tranny or engine oil. That also happens if you done that. I am not saying you did, but something you can check.

keep the engine running the whole time, otherwise it will be nearly impossible to notice a difference.
With the engine running there will be a very noticable drop in engine noise.
Note: if there isn't a drop when you remove one of the coils, it does not ness. mean that it is the coil, though that is the most likely case. Also inspect your spark plug for visual damage and your fuel injector.

What do you mean it has to be done anyway? You just got the oil changed.
A mechanic/technician would have to be completely incompetent to put in too much oil. If anything, they are guilty of short-changing you in that department.
My advice is not to drain the oil out. Just check it when the engine is cold. Take the dipstick out. Wipe it off and reinsert it. Then slowly remove it and eyeball the oil level on the dipstick.
The chances of you needing to drain oil out are remote at best!

By unpluging the Coil, you will get a check engine light. This is not the best way of testing coil pack. You can test the coil pack with OHM meter. If there is a dead Coil pack, your engine will have a lot of shake, and it will triger the Service Engine soon light.

you suppose to check the Tranny oil, when the engine is running, and car has been wormed up.

Yeah.. unplugging it while its running is pretty dangerous... Alot of power is going through right there, and if it bridged to something metal nearby, you'de get a nice shock....

to get an accurate oil level reading you gotta warm engine to normal operating temp. Take the dipstick out and leave it out for about 10-15minutes to let the oil drain back down. then stick the dipstick in and you should get a nice clean reading.

The jury's out on that one. If it's your car you're talking about I would be inclined to do the full flush if it hadn't been done for say 60K. Otherwise, a drain and fill should be done every 30K.
OTE=konak85]Correct me if i'm wrong but i heard that if you haven't changed the tranny fluid for a long time or many miles you shouldn't change it for some reason.[/QUOTE]
