Some very salient advice - change them one at a time - with brand new ones. This way you won't get them crossed or mixed up - which can be rather unsettling. You're not affecting the mechanical valve timing, importantly, (!!!!) but you will have ram[ant misbehaviour to content with. Make sure that you push the leads on FULLY too - you should (in most cases) feel them almost "snap" into place when properly seated.
