how do you change them? Im sure im capable, i would just rather have some instruction first... thanks

 

first you gotta take off the air intake tube thingy =x dunno wat its called that goes to the airfilter. And rite on top of the Valvecover you should see the coil an 4 wires goin to each seperate cylinder. Pop those off and use a spark plug socket to unscrew the plugs. I forget wat size socket it is, but make sure its a spark plug socket. Tighten the new ones on, not to tight, you dont wanna pull off any threads and make sure you dont cross thread them...put them each in by hand first then tighten them...my bad shoulda said that in the first place. anyway make sure they're tight. I've seen spark plugs fly out of the engine before lol I was tought to tighten it as tight as I could an then give it a good tug at the end. o yea one more thing dont drop the new spark plugs...or old ones if you plan on reusin them, you mite drop it on the end an change the gap. but I always check the gap before I put plugs in =)

 

so it is actually as simple as it looks. I was just checking. any ideas on which ones i should buy and where to get them. pep boys or something?

 

copper champion OEM plugs. Best thing to get for a neon

 

from wat I've been reading on this forum Champions are good. I cant say that personally. I jus took out my plugs an they were platinum 4's. which eryone seems to hate on Neons lol

 

ok, Champion OEM plugs. thanks. where do i get them? how bout pepboys?

 

usually any parts store has them - be sure to let your engine cool before changing plugs, if you pull them out hot you can take the threads out of the aluminum head real easy then u got a mess - and be sure to gap them to .035"

thanks! and is there a specific socket i need to use? or is it just the regular one that fits?

 

5/8" plug socket works nice, but sometimes its hard to get the socket back out if it has the rubber in it to hold the plug

 

and youll need a 6" extension
