I'm changing my plugs as you read this.

I got 2 hours before I need to be at a wedding. All I got to say is **** THAT DAMN COOLANT HOSE!!! thats on the TB. That bitch is on there! The clamp is almost about to slide off. Just a little bit more cussing and it should come off....


Sorry I just had to vent. Carry on...

yeah man, do not attempt to change your plugs from the top unless your AC and PS are removed.

I've changed the plugs from the top. Its easy, just need a socket, and extension. Dont even have to remove the tower brace or the intake elbow.

The plugs on the rear rotor are easier to get to from the top, and the plugs on the front are easier to get from the bottom.

15 minute job tops

I know to change the plugs from the bottom. Sorry I was doing both plugs and plug wires.

Anyways, I'm finished, the car runs beautifully. I managed to take the wires out w/out having to take off the oil filler neck.


Thanks for the advice guys. Anyways I'm about an hour late for my cousins wedding. Gotta go, laters.

the water hose comes from the wax rod to heat it why not eliminate the hoses and readjust the wax rod screw and never have a leak from any of the three hoses you get rid of .The car will still start and heat up in cold weather.
