Does a 2001 Kia have spark plugs?

Answer 1

Yes it does have plugs, wires and coil packs all located beneath the black plastic cover that runs north/south on the valve cover. You need to remove the intake plenum by loosening the clamp that hold the rubber intake tube attached to the inlet, the clamp that attaches to the silencer air box located on the top center of the firewall and the two medium sized vacuum hoses on the front (1) and the right (1) sides and remove the clips and connectors for the IAC valve and TPS sensor. Then you can remove the 3 throttle body bolts and gasket and the two bolts on the right side of the valve cover, then you should be able to remove the plenum. Next remove the two bolts holding the accelerator cable bracket and use a bunjee cord or rubber band to hold it out of your way. Then remove the six bolts holding the cover down and remove it to uncover the plugs and wires.
