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.
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..
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.
To access the spark plugs on a 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante V6 3.5L, you need to first remove the engine cover by unscrewing the bolts or clips holding it in place. The spark plugs are located underneath the cover, along the top of the engine. Use a spark plug socket and extension to remove and replace the spark plugs carefully to avoid damaging the threads.
theres a cover hiding everythign that needs to be pulled off first. the fuel injectors might need to be turn a tad to work in there. each individual plug has a coil on top of it. you have to unblolt them and pull it out. it will have a rubber boot and a spring inside that might break off, but pull it all off. then unscrew the plug and repeat the process. word to the wise : a mechanic told me if you disturb the coils they will cause the engine to miss fire so your better off waiting to change the plugs until the cylinder misfires, but all that need to be changed is the rubber boots and springs if it does miss
Some spark plugs can contain beryllium in the electrode tip for improved performance and durability. However, not all spark plugs use beryllium, as there are alternative materials available that can be used in spark plug construction. It is important to check the specifications of a specific spark plug model to determine if it contains beryllium.
spark location on a 1999 Lincoln continental
what engine?
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.
According to one of Fords websites : For a 1964 Lincoln Continental , 7.0 liter / 430 cubic inch V8 engine : ( the spark plugs are gapped at .035 inch )
On a 1998 Lincoln Continental : Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal located in the front of the engine compartment . ( it will show the type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap )
when do you change spark plugs
The spark plugs are located beneath the individual ingnition coils. Remove each coil then remove spark plug as normal
8 spark plugs
those particular wires and plugs are located in the engine compartment under the hood of that Lincoln the spark plugs are located on both sides of the engine block about half way down the wires are connected to the spark plugs and then run all the way to the coil/distributer whatever that particular model has good luck
On a 1994 Lincoln Continental , 3.8 litre V6 engine : Check your Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal , located in the front of your engine compartment It will show what type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap
because your valve cover seals are bad... fix it before you will get issues with coil packs... and change the spark plugs while at it...
( 6 spark plugs ) for your V6 engine in a 2003 Lincoln LS
