you need to buy spark plugs and spark plug wires first. Buy a spacer so you can replace the spark plug back into the hole correctly. First, take the spark plug wires off the spark plugs BUT NOT OFF THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP!!! Then, put the new spark plugs in using the spacer and ratchet. It doesn't matter which spark plug goes where. (wrench, pliers, whatever). Next replace ONE WIRE AT A TIME so as not to mess up the firing mechanism. Make sure you replace the wire in the exact position as the old one was. Otherwise, if replaced incorrectly, the engine will fire each piston at different times. Then, start the engine. If your engine starts to gurgle or sound funny and vibrates, that means you have incorrectly replaced the wires and you need to switch the order of the wires. If the engine is running properly, good job!

How do you change the spark plugs in a 2001 Chevy s10 pick-up truck?

First you remove the spark plug wires from each of the spark plugs, being careful not to wreck the wires. then you get a deep well socket that fits around the spark plugs. then you take out each of the spark plugs. get the new spark plugs and insert them in the spark plug holes. tighten them up and put the spark plug wires back on the plugs. I find there is more room to work if you jack up the front of the truck and remove the wheels. With a long extension you can easily reach five of them thru the wheel well. The one behind the steering shaft on the drivers side is a challenge.
