the spark plug provides the spark necessary to ignite the fuel and air in the engine, which allows your engine to run. without spark plugs, your engine wouldn't start.

Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and make sure it will not touch the spark plug. Or, you can remove the spark plug, but be sure and cover the hole so no debris will fall into the cylinder.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?

To change the spark plugs in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Give the spark plug boot a twist to free it up from the spark plug, then pull on the boot to remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. 2. Use a 5/8" spark plug socket with an extension and ratchet or breaker bar to loosen then remove the spark plug. 3. Set the gap on the new plug to .045" then screw it back into the spark plug hole in the head. Tighten the spark plug and replace the spark plug wire. I change the spark plugs one at a time to keep from getting the spark plug wires on the wrong spark plug.

How do you change spark plugs on a 1996 Toyota Tacoma?

I've done it a few times on my 1996 Tacoma 2.4L engine. You need a 5/8" spark plug socket (3/8" drive preferably) with the foam rubber insert that holds the spark plug once it's loose. And a ratchet and extension (12" is enough I think). Then, one by one (for each spark plug), remove the spark plug wire, use the ratchet/extension/socket to remove the spark plug, reverse the process to install the new spark plug. One thing I ran into this last time was that the foam rubber insert in the spark plug socket held the spark plug more tightly than the socket was held on the end of the extension (it was a brand-new spark plug socket), so I had to back that first one out and only very gently push the replacement spark plug into the spark plug socket so the foam rubber insert barely held it enough to lower it down into the hole for the spark plug (through the valve cover).
