First remove spark plug wires from the top of the valve cover. then remove bolts or nuts around the edge of valve cover. once removed. take off cover and replace o-rings and gasket. gasket is located around edge of cover and o-rings are o shaped rubber gaskets on the cover around the holes where the wires normally go through. be sure to replace cover the same way you remove it. estimated cost would be $35 for just gasket and 0-rings it is recommended to also replace wires and spark plugs when doing this.that cost would be 60-$90 depending on make of vehicle.
Where are the spark plugs on 2006 Dakota pu?
For the 4.7L Magnum (and the 5.2L too, I think), the spark plugs are lined up along the inside edge of the valve covers. They are installed vertically and you can't see them because they are hidden inside and directly underneath the ignition coil towers and down in a fairly deep socket. That's why there are no spark plug wires, the coil and wires are an individual assembly for each spark plug. You'll definitely want to use a proper spark plug socket with the rubber insert since there is no way grab the plug with your fingers. Alternatively, you could also use an old spark plug wire and boot to carefully thread the plugs on and off.
How do you replace a valve cover gasket in a 1998 Toyota Camry?
Remove the spark plug wires from the spark plugs, then remove the large nuts (30mm) around them that hold the valve cover down. If the valve cover is stuck, knock it loose, gently, with a rubber mallet or wood block. Remove the old gasket and spark plug tube seals from the valve cover. Clean all mating surfaces, including the top edge of the cylinder head, and place the new gaskets/seals where the old ones were. Place the valve cover back on the head, tighten the nuts down on the spark plug tubes, and place the plug wire ends on the same spark plugs they came from.
What is the spark plug gap for a 1993 Ford Explorer?
The gap is 0.52 for factory-type OEM Copper Core plugs, and 0.54 for Platinum Core plugs (recommend Bosch for added fuel economy). The best gauge is the circular type with the thickness ramp around the outer edge. Do not use the circular one with the wires that are bent in a square or the feeler-blade-type as they are not as accurate and can damage the electrode.

How do you tell if plugs is bad?
The electrodes of a good spark plug are sort of tan in color, and the center electrode, if there is one, has a fairly sharp edge all the way around. A bad spark plug can be black, or oily black, and the electrodes may be black-ish even down inside the ceramic where the center electrode comes out. The electrode edges may be worn down and rounded. A bad spark plug will not have a continuous path from where the spark plug wire attaches to the center electrode. This can be checked with an ohm-meter. If you're still not sure, it is best to replace spark plugs - they have a definite effect on power and gas mileage.
What is the very best spark plug for a 2005 Toyota Corolla S Is it an easy replacement with standard tools?
Using the right tools, almost anyone can deal with this maintenance item. Spark plugs should be changed every according to the schedulte listed in your owners manual, usually with this model and year car at around 100,000 miles. Check your owners manual. Removing the Old Spark Plugs Steps: 1. Pull the hood release lever located under the dashboard. 2. Walk around to the front of the car, reach under the hood, find the latch and squeeze it. Open the hood. 3. Find the spark plugs, located in a row along one side of the engine (on an in-line four-cylinder engine) and attached to thick wires, called spark plug wires. 4. Change one spark plug at a time, always putting the plug wire back on before changing the next spark plug (see warning below). 5. Pull off one spark plug wire where it attaches to the plug. There is a little rubber boot at the plug end of the wire; pull on this part. Pulling higher up on the wire can damage the spark plug wire and cause it to separate. 6. Blow or wipe away any dirt or debris around the spark plug. You do not want anything to fall into the cylinder while the spark plug is out. 7. With the spark plug socket and a ratchet, remove the spark plug by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. You may need an extension for your ratchet if the spark plugs are deep-set or not directly accessible. Ratchets with flexible heads are especially helpful for hard-to-reach spark plugs. 8. Check the spark plug to make sure it needs replacing. A good spark plug should be lightly coated with greyish brown deposits. If heavy deposits are present, if the spark plug is black or if the electrode or core nose are damaged, the plug needs to be replaced. Tips: Your socket set should have a "spark plug socket" (usually with a little padding/grip inside it) just for spark plugs. Make sure the car is off and let the engine cool before changing the spark plugs. Warnings: Change one spark plug at a time, putting the wire back on after you're done. If you pull all the wires off at once, you may put them back on the wrong spark plugs; this changes the firing order, and your car will run badly or not at all. If you must take all the wires off at once, label them with white correction fluid or with masking tape and a marker. Gapping the New Spark Plugs Steps: 1. Find the chart listing the proper "gap" for your plugs in your car's repair manual. The spark plug gap may also be on the sticker on the inside of the car's hood. The parts store can provide you with this specification as well. 2. Insert the spark plug gapping tool in the gap between the metal center electrode and the metal side electrode of the plug's tip. 3. Look at the tool's ruled edge and find the gap's measurement. If it is too big, bend the spark plug's end with the tool to widen the gap. To make the gap smaller, push the side electrode (the metal part at the very top) against a hard service. 4. After adjusting, measure again. Repeat this procedure until the gap matches the specification listed in your car's manual. 5. Repeat with each plug. Tips: Spark plug gap specifications are listed in inches and/or millimeters. The gapper will have inches on one side and millimeters on the other. Warnings: Make sure you buy the right spark plugs for your car based on its model, make and year. Installing the New Spark Plugs Steps: 1. Hand-tighten each spark plug in place. If you feel any resistance, stop and start over to prevent cross-threading. 2. Tighten the plugs with a socket wrench until snug. (Warning) Do not overtighten. 3. Replace the spark plug wires. Usually, you will hear a soft pop when the plug wire snaps onto the plug. 4. Start the engine. Listen. If the engine runs roughly or doesn't start, make sure the wires are pushed all the way onto the new plugs. Tips: Improperly gapped plugs will make your car run roughly, start poorly and have bad gas mileage.
Where is the ingition control module located on a 99 Saturn sL?
You didn't specify an engine, so I'm assuming you have the same 1.9 liter as I have in mine... If you follow the spark plug wires back to the ignition coils (the opposite end of the plug wires from the spark plugs) the ignition module is underneath those coils, bolted to the transaxle case. By 'underneath' I mean you have to remove the four bolts holding the coils down to get to the ignition module that they are mounted on. It's about 5 inches square by half an inch thick with a 5 pin wire connector on the bottom edge.

How do you change an intake manifold gasket on a 2003 Ford Ranger.?
The intake manifold gasket is located between the manifold and the engine block, and prevents leaks between the two surfaces. Follow the below steps to replace the intake manifold gasket on 2003 Ford Ranger. 1) Disconnect the cable to the negative terminal of the battery and remove all hardware and wiring that connects to the intake manifold. Now disconnect the throttle position sensor and the EGR valve, located adjacent to the intake manifold. 2) Remove the fuel lines from their respective connections to the fuel injectors. Plug the fuel lines to minimize fuel spilling. Disconnect the intake manifold runner control cable from the manifold. 3) Label the spark plug wires and pull from the boot to remove from their corresponding spark plugs. The spark plug wires must later be connected to the same plugs in order for the cylinders to fire in the correct order. 4) Remove the bolts that hold the intake manifold to the engine block, and remove the manifold. Pry the intake manifold gasket from the block with a flat-head screwdriver. Clean the top mating edge of the engine block thoroughly. The surface where the new intake manifold gasket will rest must be smooth and free of debris. 5) Apply sealant to the gasket surfaces and place it on the mating edge of the engine block. Position the new intake manifold so that it aligns exactly with the cylinder flanges of the engine block. Bolt the intake manifold to the engine block. Tighten the bolts to 22 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. 6) Reconnect the spark plug wires with their corresponding spark plugs. Pull the boots over the spark plugs. Replace all removed parts in their original positions. Reattach all of the fuel lines to the fuel rails and fuel injectors. Reconnect all electrical wiring to its respective part. 7) Connect the cable to the negative terminal of the battery. Start the engine and let it idle for about ten minutes. Check for leaks around the new intake manifold gasket.
