Hi,

I attached the directions below for replacing the spark plugs. The directions are specific to this vehicle and include spark plug gap and torque specifications.

As far as the spark plug wires are concerned, replace one at a time and route it the same way the original one was. Note: It is extremely important that the spark plug wire being replaced go back to the same cylinder and location on the coil as it was removed.

The spark plug wires snap on and off. When removing them, twist the boot and pull at the same time. Again, make sure not to mix them up. Doing one at a time is the best way to prevent a mix-up.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Also, note that step 3 is missing. I left it out because it explains how to check the plugs removed. Since you are replacing them, that won't be needed.
