I just changed the spark plugs myself and i noticed my car is burning more gas than it used to. Is it because of the spark plugs? thanks!If i installed new spark plugs incorrectly, will it change the fuel effecincy?If you installed them with the wrong type of plug or the wrong gap on the plug or mixed up the wires or cracked the plugs, using the incorrect spark plug socket (without a rubber grommet in it) or haven't pushed the wires on properly,
YES.If i installed new spark plugs incorrectly, will it change the fuel effecincy?It is possible.
If the plugs weren't gapped properly, they might not be creating a hot enough spark to ignite the fuel/air mixture properly/fast enough.
Possibly the plug wires are now damaged. Sometimes damage to the wires is not visible, but still can have a serious effect on the efficiency of the ignition system. If the wires are old, simply moving them can cause damage.
If they aren't tight enough or the threads are stripped, it can cause a leak and loss of compression.
The wrong type of plugs can cause efficiency problems.If i installed new spark plugs incorrectly, will it change the fuel effecincy?I Doubt changing your spark plugs would have any negative effect on your gas mileage. If anything it would be more likely to enhance it. I would suggest getting someone who knows how to install spark plugs properly to make sure you did it properly. Its not a hard job, and only takes a few minutes, but doing it incorrectly can affect many major parts of your engine.If i installed new spark plugs incorrectly, will it change the fuel effecincy?wherever you bought the plugs ask them about the recommended gap for your plugs. In Autozone it shows that on their computer.If i installed new spark plugs incorrectly, will it change the fuel effecincy?I was going to say what everyone here has already said

How do you change spark plugs on a 2006 Impala LTZ?
This is the first time. I think the dealer will charge me a fortune. Would I be able to do it myself ? I am a bit of a mechanic too. This is a 3.9L engine with 10500Kms on the clock.How do you change spark plugs on a 2006 Impala LTZ?i think either you skipped a digit in what you typed or you are trying to replace the plugs very prematurely. the plugs in moist newer cars are not due to be replaced until 75000-100,000 miles. if you insist on replacing them still, locate the coil packs, remove them, and the plugs should be just below that .

How to change spark plugs on a 1999 expedition?
i was lookin at it yesturday and there other cables in the way and some of the spark plugs go all the way to the backHow to change spark plugs on a 1999 expedition?Those coil on plugs are quite pricey, so I don't think so!!!! Get your 1/4%26quot; drive ratchet with the appropriate extension and 9/32 or 7mm socket to remove all the COPs (coil-on-plugs). Have fun with the one under the fuel supply and return line fittings on the fuel rail. If you have rear heat and A/C you'll need to work carefully around the heater hoses, so use caution!!! Once you do remove all COPs it's pretty straight forward to remove the plugs. Pay particular attention to cylinder #4 COP (the rear most one on the passenger side of engine). That particular COP was known to have coolant leaking on top from the heater hose to intake manifold connection. You might want to tighten up the clamp while you're %26quot;in there%26quot;. If the COP is coolant stained, replace it. Also check the COP boots for cracks or wear, and replace as necessary. It is STRONGLY recommended you use Ford/Motorcraft parts unless you want to do this job again. Hope this helps.How to change spark plugs on a 1999 expedition?ford says go 100,000 miles beetween changes i also believe you change coil packs and allHow to change spark plugs on a 1999 expedition?those trucks are ugly and a mother to work on.

Is there anything special I should know?How do I change spark plugs on a 1997 Chevrolet astro van?really just make sure you have a spark plug socket.It has a rubber lining inside to help protect the porcelain casing of the plugs so they don't break when loosening or tightening. Also good idea to change one at a time and put the wire back on before moving to the next one. This will prevent you from crossing up the wire locations which could have terrible affect. Do one side of the engine then go to the other side. Also when you purchase the spark plugs from the auto parts store ask them to space them for you to the proper engine specs.( spacing the spark terminal to the filament distance) improper spacing can cause the engine to not run correctly and effect gas mileage and spark plug life.

How do you change spark plugs on a 1998 pontiac Grand Prix?
Looking at the engine they are in a line next to the engine, All six of them. reading something said there are three in front in three in back, so im not sure if what im looking at is correct. Help?How do you change spark plugs on a 1998 pontiac Grand Prix?ok first of all bunch of dummies telling u things that aint right. first of all it should be done at 100,000 miles so if u have over that many mile its likely it has been done already. next it is a V-6 motor, 3 plugs up fromt and 3 in the back. first step is to make sure ur engine is completly cooled down due to the fact it has alunimum heads. next step is to do one at a time. start with either side of the front of the motor. gentle pull one plug wire at a time. the tools u need is going to be 3/8drive rachet, 6in extension and 9/16 deep socket for the front and same for the back except the ones on the back are tricky. when u remove ur plug wire slip ur socket over the plug an dloosen it up, it might be tight if there are oringinal plugs, dont worry, little tug and they will come loose. next step is to get ur new plug and smear some thread antiseize on the threads, next make sure u double check ur gap on ur plugs, they are set at the factory but they do bounce around so double check that. next stick the new plug into the socket and lower to the plug hole, make sure u dont bang it around that will knock ur gap off, thread it in with the socket and extension, finger tight at first so u wont cross thread it. next just tighten it down with ur ratchet, not too tight though. the rest do the same. the back is harder but the same way. the best way is to put it up on car ramps and do it from underneth.How do you change spark plugs on a 1998 pontiac Grand Prix?One at a time! lol no really.your spark plugs have a spark plug wire goung to the top of it.hold the wire at the spark plug firmly and pull it off the sparkplug use a wratchet and a deepsocket and unscrew the sparkplug(righty-tighty,lefty-loosey)rep?with the new one make sure to get it tight and push the wire back on,push it real hard to make sure it is all the way down. do one at a time so you dont get the wires mixed up.How do you change spark plugs on a 1998 pontiac Grand Prix?the answer to ur original question is 1 at a time--lol
you are probably looking at the coil pack located on the side of the motor.
with closer inspection of ur engine you should locate them--the other end of the wires on the coil pack.
to change the ones in back it may be necessary to remove the alternator n reach in blind.
i am serious about changing them 1 at a time, this avoids improper spark timing. glHow do you change spark plugs on a 1998 pontiac Grand Prix?When doing the back ones, you might have to %26quot;roll%26quot; the motor forward to give you more room. This is done by removing the 2 motor mounts on the front of the motor that bolt to the brackets on the radiator core support. There is 2 bolt through each bracket. Best to use a racheting strap to hold motor in place and to pull forward. The back 2 on the right are the worst because they are so close to each other.

Is it difficult to change spark plugs, lead wires and distributor cap on my vehicle?
It's a 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup. 5.2 V8 engine.Is it difficult to change spark plugs, lead wires and distributor cap on my vehicle?I don't think your vehicle has a distributor cap, but if you say it does than it does. But yeah is fairly simple. One advise do one at a time to prevent forgetting the sequence of the wires. remove the wire, take the old spark plug out, and put the new one in(make sure the gap at the back of the spark plug matches the required gap of your vehicle, ask where you buy them for the gap required for your engine) replace the wire, once you are done move on to the next one. I am not sure if you have actual coils on top of the spark plugs so you will need a small socket to remove them as well. IS easy can be done in half hour. Just make sure you don't over tighten the spark plugs. Safest way is hand tighten then with the socket quarter of turn no more.Is it difficult to change spark plugs, lead wires and distributor cap on my vehicle?very easy. If you have a good spark plug socket. get one that can lock.Is it difficult to change spark plugs, lead wires and distributor cap on my vehicle?Your truck does not have a distributor. You have 8 individual coil packs on top of your spark plugs. It will be very easy to change spark plugs and the coil packs. The only thing is, I wouldn't recommend changing the coil packs unless they're proven faulty. The reason being is because the coil packs themselves can be very expensive.
How do you change the spark plugs on a 1999 Lexus ES300?
I have a 1999 Lexus ES300 and i was wondering how to change the back spark plugs on it? Also i was wondering on how to change the spark plug wires? If there are any websites which have pictures please post them. I went to a mechanic and they told me that it would be around 150 to do the job. ThanksHow do you change the spark plugs on a 1999 Lexus ES300?The mechanic's price is too much, you can easily change the spark plugs by having a spark plug remover. Instead of paying 150, use this to buy yourself a spark plug remover. If you wish to change the wires, simply pull the black rounded terminals and they come out easily. You must change all four spark plugs to ensure smooth combustion on all four cylinders. Changing new spark plugs will only require 20-30 minutes.

Just want to have a rough idea of how much labour time I can expect for the mechanic too change my spark plugs.How long should it take a Mechanic too change the spark plugs in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 3 Litre V6?usually around an hour ,if nothing goes wrong ,but i have had some of those that would take longer because the plugs are really hard to get out sometimes,and a good mechanic wont try and force them out,he or she, will get them loose then use a penetrating oil to help them come the rest of the way out,it once took me over two hours to get a set out so be prepared just in case,most of the time on a 3.0 they come out fairly easy though,good luck.How long should it take a Mechanic too change the spark plugs in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 3 Litre V6?your welcome.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I'd not want to just do the plugs on that vehicle one thing you could do or have a friend or mechanic do is disconnect the spark-plug wires one by one at the ignition coil , take a wire brush and sandpaper and clean the connectors and be sure to dust off the sand afterwards.You might find by just doing that the engine starts to run better most ppl don't do that at all and have sever bad corroded or rusty connections on their ignition modules.How long should it take a Mechanic too change the spark plugs in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 3 Litre V6?1 hrs more then that the mechanic is stealing your money!How long should it take a Mechanic too change the spark plugs in a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 3 Litre V6?actually i have that engine in my car and they should charge u around 5 hours (that's the book time) or less depending on how good the mechanic is because they have to pull off the intake plenum which is where the back three plugs are.

Is it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?
i gotta drive about 45min to my friends house with my car so should i let the engine cool down before we change the spark plugs and wires on the car or it dont matter?Is it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?You MUST let it cool down COMPLETELY.
Your cylinder heads are almost certainly made of aluminum, which is soft to begin with. It only gets softer as it gets hot. Plus, hot metal expands so you're plugs will be in tighter.
Taking plugs out of a hot engine can strip the spark plug threads. Let it cool completely before you begin.
Be sure to use some anti-seize on the threads as well, to help reduce the chance of having damaged threads next time you do the job.Is it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?would be the best idea to be taking out spark plugs while the engine is 200 degrees..
let it cool downIs it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?I don't think you have to let it cool down, but your engine block is gonna be hot and touching it will burn you. Only time I would suggest a warm engine for basic stuff is cleaning the engine bay and oil changes.Is it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?It will certainly make it a lot easier. After a 45 minute drive, that engine will be hot. Working over a hot engine is not fun.Is it ok to change spark plugs and wires if?Don't bother buying new wires unless the original ones can be proven to be arcing. It is a waste of money. Most OEM wires can last for the lifetime of the car they are installed in. One reason to allow an engine to cool before removing plugs is due to the difference in materials between the aluminum alloy in the head, and the plated metal in the spark plug. If you are not using Bosch Platinum wire, Fusion or Nippondenso Iridium or Twin TIp plugs, you are wasting your time. Because you engine will not produce full power, lowest emissions, and best economy. Use Gum-out spray to clean your IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE and throttle body prior to installation of new plugs. This will leave unwanted carbon material on the OLD plug tips, and not on the new ones!!! Good Luck!!!

How do I change the spark plugs on my 98 Windstar?
98 Windstar 3.0L V6 (12 valve Vulcan). I need to know how to change the spark plugs. The front 3 are easy to get out but how do I get at the back ones/ Also I'm changing the wires, any help would be great.How do I change the spark plugs on my 98 Windstar?You need to pull the intake cover off, but don't undo the fuel rails. Get all the hoses secured out of the way. You should be able to reach the plugs that way, but you won't be able to see 2 of them. Use a mirror, a good light, and an offset pivoting head ratchet and 16mm deep socket. If there is visible debris around the plugs, blow it off before starting, and give the plugs a good spray of penetrating oil an hour before starting to remove them. Be extremely careful, because in the awkward position you'll be in, it's easy to break an old plug (not a devastating situation, but a pain just the same), or you could cross thread a new plug and strip the threads in the head ( a terribly devastating and expensive situation).How do I change the spark plugs on my 98 Windstar?never worked on a winstar. you might try getting to them from under the car, there's more clearance there sometimes, other than that just squeeze back there and pull them. Definitely change the wires ONE AT A TIME, this way your sure to get them in the right firing order. so change a plug then the wire that goes with it. not all at the same time. good luckHow do I change the spark plugs on my 98 Windstar?i think it would be helpful to take off the intake manifoldHow do I change the spark plugs on my 98 Windstar?Remove the front wheels and go into the fender well. You will need to remove the cover and you can see the spark plugs.
How do I change the spark plugs in my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?
My boyfriend and i would like to change the spark plugs our self and I was just wondering where they are locatedHow do I change the spark plugs in my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?you never mentioned the engine size.
The inline 5cyl and 6cyl engines have the spark plugs located on the valve cover....UNDERNEATH the coils. This is a coil-on-plug system.......one coil per spark plug.How do I change the spark plugs in my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?You should have 4 or 6 spark plugs in your vehicle depending on how many cylinders you have. Assuming you have a 6 cylinder, there should be 6 black that a visable as soon as you open your hood. At one end of them they should connect to what's called your distributer cap, which distibutes the spark. Follow those wires to the other end and they should run to your block, which houses your 6 cylinders, or 4. Where the wires meet your block, if you just pull them off the block your plugs should be right under them. If you already have the new ones, you just simply remove the old ones, pop in the new ones and place the wires back on. Now if your replacing the plugs because they are old you might want to replace those wires going to them, as well as on the the other side of the wires, your distributer cap. This will ensure a great start up, especially in the winter.How do I change the spark plugs in my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?Best way to go is to buy a manual from your local auto parts store for 13 bucks along with some spark plugs for that particular year and model, then head home and read up on it first..the manual will expain step by step how to go about it.
Sometimes you need to use a dielectric grease on the plug wires.
The plugs need to be set at a certain gap setting.
They need to be tightened to a specific tourq.
Plus possibly more, depending on the year, make and model.
Dont be discouraged, there are just alot of details, Hope this helps.home theater hide my myspace song

And I believe on a Subaru it's a boxer type engine so they're probably pretty easy to change out....i would recommend Bosch Platinum +4's because you don't have to gap them....just screw them in and go. Hope this helps.How do I know when to change the spark plugs on in my car?When in doubt, change it out.How do I know when to change the spark plugs on in my car?Usually you can get about 100,000 miles on them before they need changing. It's 9 years old and probably close to 100K. Spend the $20 for new plugs. Also, if it doesn't already have synthetic oil in it I would switch to full synthetic and a new filter. As so as the oil starts to turn dark it's time to change the filter. Don't change the oil as synthetic will outlast the life of the vehicle.

How often should you change your spark plugs?
I have a '98 Mazda Protege LX 1.5L 4 cylinder with just over 111,000 miles. I was wondering how often you need to change the spark plugs. Also, I heard people say they changed the wires, rotor and cap. Do you need to do that too?How often should you change your spark plugs?The normal rule of thumb is to change the plugs and wires every 100,000 miles. As far as the rotor...if your car has that because most vehicles nowadays are all electronic...I wouldn't replace that until you start having issues with it.How often should you change your spark plugs?Forget about replacing wires, The factory wires should last for the lifetime of the car, unless they have been eaten by squirrels. Power wash your engine for starters. Remove your dist cap and check it INSIDE for the presence of engine oil. Many times, oil under pressure will find it's way here. Wash it out with CRC electronic cleaner. It will remove the oil and evaporate quickly. Replace the cap and rotor at 100,000 miles, using ONLY genuine Mazda (nippondenso) parts. There is a resistor in many dist rotors that go bad with age. Locate, remove and clean your IAC valve (idle air control valve). Use Gum-out spray. Clean the throttle body and plate and PCV valve, too. Run the Gum-out through the engine with car running, warm. Any carbon inside the intake manifold will dislodge and get dispelled. When everything is factory clean, replace the plugs. Use the new Nippondenso Twin Tip plugs ($3 each). Or nippondenso Iridium plugs ($9 each). Engine and sensors should ALL be clean. Plugs are last step. These plugs will give you best power and fuel mileage. Wait and see!!!! If you MUST change the wires, use ONLY factory wires. Never short change the original parts. They were made to last longest and work the best. The plugs I have mentioned will react with modern fuel and burn more cleanly and produce more power. Emissions go down,too. For even better performance, motor flush the engine and use ELF oil (France) made for Mazda (JASO ratings). Change it once yearly. Your engine will LOVE you for it!!!! So will your lifters, rings, and other engine vitals. Good luck!!How often should you change your spark plugs?Read your owners manual. Your car probably needs plugs at 60,000 miles or so, if your car runs on an ignition cap and wires, then yes, replace plugs, INSPECT wires for damage, check your points in the cap for wear (if dull, replace, if they have a sharp edge still, probably ok). If you car has electronic ignition, the plugs probably could go longer. My fathers ford F-250 has electronic ignition, so the plugs need replaced at 100,000 miles... factory stated.How often should you change your spark plugs?you should change it like every 3 1/2 year

How do I change the back spark plugs on a 2002 ford windstar?
My father is trying to change the spark plugs on our minivan and isn't sure how to get to them.

Assuming your father is not interested in crawling underneath the vehicle, or has access to the jack needed to lift it, he is probably better off removing the wiper cowl and transmission assembly (meaning WIPER TRANSMISSION, not vehicle transmission) for access. The only tools needed are a 15mm socket or wrench for the nuts that secure the wiper arms to the linkage, a philips screwdriver to remove the wiper cowl panel, and a 5/16%26quot; socket with appropriate extension and ratchet to remove all the bolts that secure the cowl panel to the body. If you need more information, e-mail me directly and I'll send instructions with illustrations.

I need to change my spark plugs and I have the socket in my set for the plugs. Do I make sure I change all of them at the same time? Do I make sure the engine is cold?

AC Del Co is the one that I deal with when I actually install spark plugs. As long the ratchet, extension, gap tool, and correct socket, it will probably take less than a hour. Ask the store for the correct gap.
Gap all the sparks right away so that way do not forget about it. Pull the wire off the spark plug. Remove the spark plug. Install the new spark plug initially without the ratchet. You do not want to strip the threads on the heads (costly repair). Use the ratchet to snug them lightly. Put the wire back on. Just keep going to you are all done.
Do not mix up the wires. It is hard sometimes to figure out which goes where.Is it easy to change spark plugs for 2004 chevy tahoe? which brand do u recommend?don't cheap out on plugs that's the hart beat of the thing , Iridium are top of the line they'll last 100,000 k/m about ten bucks a pop but worth it as for the dealership that what i payed total to do it right 65.00 for plugs that i bought my self so just payed 60.00 for labor one hour to change them in V6Is it easy to change spark plugs for 2004 chevy tahoe? which brand do u recommend?Hi

Does anyone know how to change spark plugs and wires for a 95 ford aerostar?
I hear the plugs are under the vehicle. I'm looking for a free site to get tips, or infor you all can give me. ThanksDoes anyone know how to change spark plugs and wires for a 95 ford aerostar?The easiest means of changing them is to remove the engine cover from the inside of the cabin.
There are three snap-clamps holding the cover in place.
Place the shifter in %26quot;D-1%26quot; (all the way to the rear of the car) and release the snap on the driver's side, then the snap on the passenger's side, then the snap on the passenger's upper corner.
Remove the cover and change the plugs and wires.
Replace the cover carefully, or it could be damaged, or perhaps not seal well, and then there will be noise and hot air from the engine compartment while you drive.
SUGGESTION: Change the cap and rotor as well as the PCV valve at the same time. This will save a bit of effort when it comes time to tune it up again.Does anyone know how to change spark plugs and wires for a 95 ford aerostar?You can access most of the spark plugs from under the interior cover (Doghouse) On that year Aerostar, you will need to access 2 on the passenger side from underneath the vehicle behind the fender well. Very difficult to do without the correct swivels and sockets. Good Luck.Does anyone know how to change spark plugs and wires for a 95 ford aerostar?They shouldn't be under the vehicle unless the vehicle is on its roof.
It is really quit simple, you will need a spark plug socket, 12%26quot; extension, and a ratchet.
Remove only one wire at a time, and replace that plug and wire before moving to the next one.
Whatever you do, DO NOT take all the wires off at one time, they have to be in a certain order.
Before installing plugs, make sure that the gap is right(distance between contact points).
That info should be in your car manual, if not go .030-.040 gap.
Good luckDoes anyone know how to change spark plugs and wires for a 95 ford aerostar?drain the oil from the car for the safelty viewpoiint, we cant take chances. take out the chassis, check the diff, remove the driveshaft, take out the engine and oil it with WD40. lol, just joking, i have no idea, sorry

Want to change spark plugs in my 99 Crown Vic P71. Anyone have any luck or recommend a high performance plug?
I want to see if my Crown Vic will perform better with maybe platinum plugs or something different. Anyone recommend Bosch or another brand in their Vics? Hows the performance and can you tell the difference? Thanks!Want to change spark plugs in my 99 Crown Vic P71. Anyone have any luck or recommend a high performance plug?Stick with the OEM Motorcraft. the long part number is AGSF-32PM, short number is SP-493, they have the extended threads to help prevent spark plug blowout. Use a torque wrench when tightening the plugs and do it when the engine is cold. torque spec is 13-15 ft-lbs.
the majority of problems we see at my dealer with running rough and misfires are caused by the aftermarket and performance spark plugs. once replaced with OEM, they run fine.Want to change spark plugs in my 99 Crown Vic P71.

I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?
i have a 2001 jeep limited and change the sparks plugs but it still feels shakie and and kinda feels like is too accelarated , it has 93000 miles . do i have a serious problem ? please help.I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?Did this occur before the spark plug replacement, or only since? If it has only been since, pull off the coil pack and put it back on, making sure the boots are on the plugs. I've had a few come in where someone replaced there own plugs and now runs rough, because 1 or more of the coil boots weren't even on a plug. I have also seen people put platinum plugs in the 4.0L and had runability issues. It is strongly recommended (for this very reason) to only use copper plugs. Double check these 2 things. And what do you mean by %26quot;feels like is too accelerated?%26quot;I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?Did you change out the wires and all of the ignition parts? I'm not sure if your vehicle has a distributor or not but if it does you need to change out the distributor cap and rotor button along with the wires.I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?could be any number of things... timing off, cylinders not firing... have a mechanic look at it.I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?recheck your wires and make sure you put them back in the correct right spot. you might be misfiring. My husband made that mistake once. It was an easy fix.I have 2001 jeep cherokee limited and just change spark plugs but feels shakie.?There is no distributor or wires, you have coil packs that plug directly onto your plugs. You may have to replace the coils, but you really need someone to look at it unless you want to keep replacing parts without knowing what you are doing.oily skin pimples hook a desktop laptop to a compute

Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?
I have a 94 Trans Am V8 Lt-1 engine with distributor. The spark plugs are sort of under the exhause manifold (I think that's what their called).
It seems like a lost cause to me. I started a couple times but I never get far.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?Sometimes it's easier to jack the car up. Remove the front tires, and work thru the fender well to get to the spark plugs.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?yes.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?of course it's possible, it's just a pain in the a$$.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?Don't know, don't mess with it. Take it to a shop for a tune up. At that time you should also do a fuel filter (if it is an inline filter), PCV valve, throttle body service, fuel/air system treatment, check the cap and rotor (if its not a coil set up, I can't remember on that car) and check the plug wires.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?Yes but you will a special socket and extension for it. You can buy it from Snap On. You will also need an inspection mirror so you can see what you are doing. You will also need a good trouble light.
Make sure the engine is cold or you will get a few nasty burns from the exhaust manifold.
Another way to do it if you have good quality jack stands. You can jacket it up then use your jacket stands and change them from underneath the car. But again the engine has to be cold.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?sounds like you have to remove the exhaust manifold to get at those plugs. or you can try looking underneath the vehicle. do you have a good socket set with extensions and such?Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?if you are asking that question, then you should definately take it to a shop and have a professional do it .... as for how you do it, it is a lot easier on that car to take the front tires off and go in through the fender with a ratchet and sochet with a long extensionIs it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?Oh it is doable. I have a suggestion. Remove a front wheel and look at the inner fender. There may be a removable panel that will give you access to the spark plugs. Failing that see if you can reach them from underneath.
I once owned a full size Blazer. It was a nightmare changing the plugs. I had to climb into the engine compartment for 3 of them, 2 could be reached from the front and the remainder had to be replaced from underneath. Just be creative and take it one plug at a time. And never be afraid to try a different extension or universal setup. Little things like that have saved me hundreds of times.
Good luck, I hope that panel is there. I found one on a Camero once and it made my day.Is it possible to change spark plugs on an Lt-1?yes, it is possible. I've changed them before on my friend LT1.

The book time is about 2.7 hrs. I haven't done them in several years, but I remember my friend and I cursing alot. If you have 1/2 a day to a full day, give it a shot, but it will be more difficult for you since you probably don't have a lift. Much of them are removed from underneath so that will be very tough getting the correct angles. Personally, if you don't turn a wrench often, pay someone to put in plugs that will last many years.
