Disconnect the car battery cable, remove the spark plug cables, remove the spark plug boots, and remove the old spark plugs. Next, put in the new spark plugs, replace the boots and cables and reconnect the battery cables.
Under the black plastic piece on top of the engine. Remove the couple of screws and look inside.
Depends if its a 2.0l redline or a 2.2l stock ion. on the redline they are located under the center cover on top of the motor. you must remove the coils to get to the plugs. on the 2.2l idk. if its a DOHC then it is the same way.
Remove oil filler plug. Pull the plastic cover off. On top of engine, remove the 4 bolts and pull that plastic piece up. The spark plug boots will pull up with that. Spark plugs are down in the wells.
If you look on top of the engine, you'll see a valley on top. in that valley should be 4 small black box-things. These are the ignition coils. Remove those and there are holes leading down. The spark plugs are in there.
First, you must do this with a cold engine or you could damage your valves. Remove the black plastic plate covering the engine. Undo the 10mm bolts holding on the spark plug boots. Tug out the plug wires by the boot, never tug the wires! The plugs are deep, remove spark plugs using a spark plug socket attached to an extension. Apply anti-seize to the new spark plugs. Place new spark plugs by holding the extension in hand, do not use a wrench! Slowly and gently begin screwing in the new spark plugs, careful not to cross-thread. If you feel any resistance, unscrew the plug and try again. Then replace bolts and cover. Done!
