lol too bad you couldn't figure out that it says my location at the top right corner of my post.

 

i just did spark plug change its a pain in the A** i manages to do it under and hour but my hands are beat up lol and i alos managed to swap cylinder 4 and 6 and it was misfiring bad so i retraced my steps and violaaa. my car now and a smooth idle . next is the freaking gas gauge issue i turned it own and after i fixed the connections and it was turned off had no gas lol.

 

Yea I could see how you would accidentally swap those 2 cylinders. The way it's wired makes it appear like that's where the plugs plug into I almost messed up too haha. I've read that it's a very common mistake so you're not the only one.

Actually 1 mess up I forgot to mention was while doing the left side of the engine I accidentally disconnected the gas line and quite a bit of fuel went down into the engine compartment. I looked down to see where it had leaked onto and it was the exhaust pipe . So I grabbed a water bottle and showered the area. Then when I was done I did the ecu reset (which took a lot of tries) and then started it up and saw some smoke at first but that went away after a minute or two.

 

Thanks for the awesome write up ! I took my time and cleaned up the engine bay as I went, 2.5 hours later, my car is running butter smooth ! Very gratifying.

 

Use a spark plug socket. A regular socket will fit, but a spark plug socket will keep you from breaking the ceramic of the spark plug in addition to holding the plug in the socket.

 

Took me about 45 minutes to change the spark plugs. The passenger side had a lot of room to manuever around - easier than I had expected. 6th gear on the freeway feels peppier now.

 

Lol but at least they didn't have a big gut in the way like the Americans have to deal with

 

Great write up, im at 60k miles when should you change the sparkplugs?

 

Hey, On the passenger side of the engine, right on the cylinder 1 there is a blue and black plugs attached to each other black one is connected to electrical harness, I can't take it off what's the trick of it?

 

Hey do you think we should reset the ecu once we installed the spark plugs? I have a Hypertech tune, if I reset the ecu do I need to program it again?

 

i changed out my plugs and threw a p0102 and p0113 and its misfiring like crazy. anyone have this problem as well? i had a tear in my intake tube but i taped that up and its still doing the same.

 

anyone help??

 

Did you get the coils connected back up properly?

Just curious if anyone's replaced the intake manifold seals/gaskets at the same time while replacing the spark plugs? My dealer said this is normally what they recommend.

 

which dealer is this?
