finger tight then half turn with plug Socket, because most people don't have a torque wrench
The plugs are to be tightened to 13 lb-ft. which is just hand tight with a short ratchet. Don't over tighten them! The threads in the aluminum heads have enough problems as it is.
snug or 10 to 12 ft lb.
I just tighten them with a regular spark plug socket rachet. You should be able to feel when to stop tightening.
Not to tight just snug
When the plugs are finger tight, tighten them with a ratchet 1/16 of a turn.
Good and tight, but don't break the thing.
WHEN I CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS I JUST GOT SOME ALLEN WRENCHES AND TOOK THE SILVER AIR COVER OFF THATS COVERING SPARK PLUGS. JUST MAKE SURE ITS ON TIGHT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK ON OR YOU'LL GET A WHISTLING NOISE
Look between the back of the engine and firewall The space is tight but you should be able to find rubber caps that cover up the spark plugs
Yes, they should be as tight as you can get with a 6 inch long wrench
You take them out left, counterclockwise. It's an aluminum head and the spark plugs are steel. Because the heat expansion is different for the 2 metals, you need to make sure the engine has cooled down before trying to change the plugs.
one of your wires is most likely loose so check that and if that isn't it make sure your spark plugs are tight
Under the hood of your car, you should see 4, 6, or 8 spark plug wires running to the sides of your engine depending on how many spark plugs your car has. These cables hook onto the tops of the plugs. Pull the caps off. Underneath, you will see the top of the plugs. You will need a special socket to remove them. This socket is usually standard with most socket and ratchet sets. Take your old plugs out. Make sure you use a gap setter to set the gap on your new plugs. And make sure you know the correct gap setting for your vehicle. Put the new spark plugs in 'hand tight'. Just put them in by hand and them give them about 1/4 turn with your ratchet. Put the wires back on. It's that simple. You can get a gap setter at any decent auto shop and they can look up the setting for you. If need be, they should also be able to point out where the spark plugs are.
