I had my car diagnosed today and it has a bad coilpack which damaged the spark plugs. My concern is that with the misfire, the catalyst may have been damaged as the plastic splash shield under the radiator was melted from the heat of the cat. What are the chances that changing the coilpack will cure the problem. I used to manage a GM parts department but am not familiar with Hyundai's and I am guessing that just taking off the coilpack and putting on a new one will be a basic repair. Please let me know if I am correct

Basically you are correct, it is just a simple matter of remove and replace. However check the plugs or replace them as they could have been damaged by the misfire. As for the cat, it depends how hot it got and for how long. I imagine you wouldnt be able to drive it on 2 cylinders so it couldn't have got that hot. Jules, mechanic, W. Australia.

Yes pretty easy repair.. Just make sure to mark your plugs so you know where to put them back.
