RE: Removing spark plugs
What do you mean the wiring? Are you referring to the individual coils or the wiring the goes to the coils?

RE: Removing spark plugs
well...when I was looking for the spark plugs....I just noticed there's these plastic caps where the wire attaches to it...and then it goes straight down into the block...I figured the spark plug is there cuz it's lined up 4 on each side.

RE: Removing spark plugs
Those caps are the individual coils plugged into the spark plug down that whole. You'll need to removed the 10mm bolt that's holding the coils on and pull them straight up and out.

RE: Removing spark plugs
yea i got that part. nevermind, lol I got it. The only reason why I had a tough time is because apparently the 1st and 2nd cylinder spark plugs have the hardest boot to remove....all teh others were easy to take out. Thx tho

RE: Removing spark plugs
Check and the code and then look to see what it means in the list in post at the top of this forum. All I can suggest is resetting your PCM and see if after your still getting it.
