How do i change spark plugs in 2002 Hyundai Elantra?

Answer 1

basically, if you lift the hood and look directly at the engine (the big silver thing), on the top left side of it as you are looking at it from the front is where you place the oil in (oil cap). Just above that are the four spark plugs. They are underneath the plug and coils. you would have to unscrew the two bolts holding the coils down to get to two of the spark plugs, and the other two spark plugs, you just pull the wires off. (Just pull)

Answer 2

For the 3.1 or 3.4 V-6 it isn't easy. The plugs facing the front of the car are accessible. the ones on the fire wall side of the motor are impossible to get to without tilting or lifting the motor. Take you car to a professional or forget about them and just change the plugs you can get to.

Answer 3

I did this on my 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder. This can all be done with a 10 mm socket and driver, a spark plug gap adjuster, anti seize grease, and a spark plug socket

1. Remove the negative battery cable

2. Remove the plastic cover (2 10 mm bolts and 2 plastic fasteners)

3. Remove bolts holding spark plug cover

4. Pull off electric quick disconnects by squeezing clip gently

5. Remove plactic brace holding the wires down (1 10mm nut and 1 10 mm bolt)

6. Remove coil over packs over the spark plugs

7. Remove spark plug using 5/8 spark plug socket

8. Adjust new spark plug gap to .044

9. Apply anti seize grease to spark plug treads and screw in plugs

10. reassemble

Answer 4

Have and use all the proper tools unscrew the 2 silver ignitioncoil coilpack for the 3 cylinders on both banks of the V6 and unclip the wire's and safely put the coilpacks aside then take the socket wrench with a extension and use the sparkplug bit with the rubbergrip inside then turn them counter clockwise the last 3 cylinders by the windshield will be a pain to reach but it can be done also gap the spark plugs if their not and torque them to the original specifications of the car

Answer 5

Hello

well first you gotta open your hood.

You will see a black cover that says elantra on it, that needs to be removed just using a screw driver. it also helps to remove the large plastic cover that covers everyting.

once you have that off you will need an extenstion to go down and take the spark plugs out. do one at a time so you dont cross the leads of the wires.

Answer 6

To change the spark plugs on a 2002 Hyundai Elantra, locate the spark plug wires, remove them, then use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plugs. Install the new spark plugs, tighten them to the recommended torque specification, and reattach the spark plug wires. Always refer to the vehicle's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
