Looks like you need to remove the intake manifold. Doesn't look too difficult, but you should probably use new gaskets on the manifold at the heads when replacing it. Should be a case of opening all the associated electrical connectors, pulling off the vacuum tubes at convenient places, disconnecting the air intake, and then simply unbolt the manifold, and probaly swing it up to the right. I'm estimating a couple of hours to get it off the first time, taking it easy to ensure everything is disconnected & can be moved out of the way. I have 23K miles to go before I need to do this, but will post on the experience.

There is an enthusiast forum called www.imazda.com with a procedure on how to do this task. I used it to perform the job on my vehicle and it was accurate. It is in the engine / drivetrain section. It does involve removal of the intake manifold; however, with patience and attention to the task you can do this without completely removing the manifold from the engine. There are wiring harnesses that attach to the intake that you will need to be sure to get loose so you can manipulate the manifold. There are eight to ten 10mm bolts that hold it down. Rory
engine needs to be removed
At the top of the engine. The intake needs to be removed to access the plugs on the drivers side. Since there are no spark plug wires, the coil packs need to be removed. The plugs can then be removed and replaced with new ones. See the link below for detailed instructions.
to change all freeze plugs on any engine is expensive, as the engine and transmission need to be split to get at pluigs behind flywheel.sometimes the engine needs to be removed freon vehicle to get at others
The spark plugs in this car are on the side of the engine. They are seen after the engine cover is removed.
Under the throtlle body / upper intake manifold which needs to be removed to access the 3 spark plugs on the driver's side. The other 3 are on the passenger side of the engine.
Changing the spark plugs is a relatively easy job which can be done by anybody with slight mechanical knowledge. On a Jeep with the 4.7L engine, the intake needs to be removed. The coilpacks can then be removed, and then the spark plugs can be removed and replaced with new ones. The job should take about 1-2 hours. See the related link below for detailed instructions.
No.
glow plugs are for diesel engines, the spark plugs on a mazda 3 are located on top of the engine under the plastic cover. just pull up the plastic cover and u would see the coils.
Nissan 18L can you put super4 spark plugs
remove the cover from top of the engine it should be 4 to 6 screws and 1 plug on the drivers side if the engine. after cover (coil pack) is removed the 4 spark plugs should be visible. remove spark plugs with a 5/8" sparkplug socket and a 6" extension. check gap on new plugs and replace them. torque the new plugs to 25ftlbs and replace cover(coil pack)and all other accessories removed.
The Mazda 5 does not have glow plugs. Maybe you meant spark plugs?
After taking off the air intake body, they are easy to access from the top of the engine. Each plug wire conductor has a screw that needs removed prior to lifting it out of the hole. The plugs are recessed about 6 inches.
