I don't believe so, but shouldn't be too hard to verify if they're good or not...

I assume you've already checked out the coils and ignitors?

I went to pull & save and found a set for free. When i pulled the middle one out, the car would not start. The ones on the left and right are for your headlights.

I just re-read my post. ok, before you do what I said, check the coils + terminals for voltage. If not, then do it and more than likely, its flooded now.
