You take the plastic cover off. Take out the motor mount, replace the four spark plugs to a .040 gap and waaa-la! Wes Writes: Unplug the plastic cover, unbolt the cover small #10 socket, lift up... plug boots may stick a little. Use a spark plug socket (has plug holder in socket) and about a 6 inch extension. Unbolt and replace each plug, install new plugs with anti lock compound on the threads and anti stick plug boot compound on the upper body of the plugs. Press down cover over plugs and make sure everything is lined up good, keeping pressing while you re-tighten the #10 bolts down, do not overtighten because you can strip the threads on the upper engine. Should only be slightly tightened down when you feel pressure go only another 1/4 turn, work in zig zag pattern to get the plastic cover evenly bolted down. Plug it back up. No motor mount needs to be removed. Bosch +4's do not need to be gapped, great plugs but they are a little high dollar. This won't stop your vehicle from hesitating and almost dying at stops... you need to pull the throttle body off and clean it with Throttle Body cleaner to remedy this. Get all the black carbon gunk off of it to free the sticking throttle plate. Also remove the sensor just above the TB mount area... just unplug and twist to you and pull up... spray TB spray down the hole. It will remove the built up gunk that has blocked the air passage for your sensor. If your check engine light is lit.... just unplug your neg battery cable for several minutes. Reattach and your ready to roll. This should remedy check engine light issues, but if not try removing the O2 sensor and clean with TB spray re-install. Unplug battery again to reset code. You will probably notice the code will stay off for maybe a week before it starts acting up again. You probably need a new O2 sensor... very expensive part. Get the OEM part so that you don't have to splice wires with the cheaper universal part. If this helps you get your ride back to life... send me a donation via PayPal... I will glady accept. Thanks,
