Default Plugs

Hey i did a search but nothing came up.

Is there a DIY for changing the spark plugs on a 98 2.8 30v?
And do you have to change the wires when u do the plugs too?

If you have ever changed plugs before.. then it should be very simple.. here is a writeup for ya..

Step 1: Remove plug

Step 2: Gap new plug

Step 3: Insert new plug


No you dont have to change the wires everytime.. do you do that with any car?

OEM NGK plugs.

And make sure you use some antisieze compound on the threads and don't over torque the plugs. You will thank yourself in 30K miles.

There are threads on this i cant remember which # (6 or 7) to use. If you are chipped one is recomended and if your stock a different # is recomended.
