Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Hyundai Tiburon 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 65.000 miles

My car has been sitting - unused - for a year. I've changed the battery. I want to change the spark plugs, how do i do this part?....and what "tricks" should I do to get the car running again.

Thank you!

Bob,

Just remove the plug wires and umbolt the plugs and replace them. Make sure to gap the new ones per the manufacturer's specs.

If the car has only set for a year, the gas in it should still be good enough to run the engine. It may run a little rough until it's gone, but other than that, you shouldn't have any trouble.

If you have other questions, let me know.
