To change the spark plugs on a 2000 Kia Sephia, at least in a 1.8L version, first disconnect the battery, then, remove the black plastic cover on top of the motor. There should be 6 Phillips-head screws holding it down. After removing the plastic cover, you will see two rubber covers for the spark plug wires on each side, and two gel-looking insuated tubs attached to more wires in the middle. To remove two of the spark plugs, you must carefully pull the rubber covers upward. They clip onto the spark plugs so you will need to use careful force to pull them out. Once you have them pulled out, you can look in and see the plug. It requires a 5/8 spark plug socket with an adapter to reach in. Make sure you push the socket on hard enough so that it clips onto the spark plug, other wise it will fall over and you wont be able to get it out without a LOT more work. Finish that plug by plugging the rubber covered spark plug wire back onto the spark plug, covering the hole. You can do the same thing for the plug on the opposite side.
For the two in the middle, you need to first unbolt and remove the insulated boxes that cover the spark plug holes (you can unplug the white connectors but make sure you plug them back in when you are done). Then all you have to do is do the same thing you did with the two outer ones to replace the plugs. Perform this one plug at a time, and make sure you cover the holes with a cloth or paper towel if you leave them open for any period of time. When you finish, make sure all the wires are connected, then reconnect the battery.

∙ 17y agoTo change the front plugs and or wires you need a long extention for your ratchet and of course the socket and ratchet itself. To get to the rear plugs you must remove the intake manifold from the top of the engine and then eureka you see the back plugs and wires. You must take loose some of the vacuum hoses and other items on the carb. I missed telling you to take the decorative cover off the top of the engine first

∙ 16y agoWait until the engine is cold. Carefully remove the spark plug wires from each cylinder. Pull the wires by the boot and not by the wire or the wire will be ruined. Now, using a spark plug socket (one that has a rubber fitting inside of it) and an extension remove the spark plugs by turning the wrench counterclockwise. Insert the new plug into the socket so that the rubber will hold the plug in. Place the plug and socket down inside of the hole. Hand tight the plug by turning the extension clockwise. Once the plug cannot be turned by hand, tighten it a little more with the socket wrench. Install the wires back onto the plugs by pushing down on the boot.

∙ 12y agoyou remove the 2 10mm screws on each cover, lift the coil packs out(they should just slip right out easily) insert the right socket w/ extension and remove them one by one. remember to gap the plugs to its right size .054. also check for oil deposits or rust while changing them to see if you have a bad valve cover gasket. when finished just reverse the process

to change the plugs you must take off the spark plug boots..you then take the spark plugs out with a 5/8 sparkplug socket..put the new plugs in the holes and finger tighten them a little(with the socket and extension so that it doesnt cross thread)it might also be wise to replace the wires if they look bad or cracked..
How do you change spark plugs on a 1988 Honda CRX?
Pull the wires out of the top of the motor, they have a long plastic boot on the end of the wire. Using a spark plug socket and a long extension you will be able to remove the spark plugs. Check the gap on your new plugs and I like to use a section of hose that fits on the top of the spark plug to to thread the plug back in. That way you reduce the chance of cross threading. Once you get them started you can tighten them down. I usually replace the wires when I replace the plugs. I would suggest replacing the plugs/wires one at a time to reduce the risk of mixing the wires up.

1996 Buick regal custom 3.1L spark plug change three back plugs?
remove the alternator. piece of cake then. remove the alternator first. You can remove the coil pack and bracket which is fastened by 2bolts/2nuts. This is the thing that the spark plugs wires plug into when the other side goes on the actual spark plugs. Once this is removed it is a breeze, a mechanic mirror helps and a knuckle or U-joint is almost mandatory. It seems like alot of wiring but everything only plugs where it belongs as far as the electrical connectors you remove goes, getting the nuts that are below was done as i stood on the passenger side, a friend will make it much more easy. Let me know if you need more details. xxsodasipperxx@yahoo.com

Do you to take anything off to get to 1998 Lincoln Continental spark plugs?
No you shouldn't have to. It will make things a little harder if you don't. I change my spark plugs on my 93' Continental and I never take anything off to do it. 1998 is the first year they used coil on plug system. If you have coil on plug, you will have to remove the plates covering the coils , then slide off the coils and use an extender to reach the spark plugs. This is what I have to do on my 1998 continental.
