I didnt move the fuel rail I just worked around everything. I unpluged the harness from the packs pulled the boots and the unscrewed them. I changed mine a while back so maybe I'm missing something but I think thats it.

yeah, theres a screw holding each ofthe cops in, take the screws out, unplug the harnesses, pull the cops out, get a spark plug socket and an extension and takethe plugsout. no need to remove fuel rail.

if the throttle cable is in the way (which i dont think it is) then just take out 2 screws holding a bracket to the throttle body and u can move the cables to the side.

You may need a swivel socket for the plug on the passengers side near the firewall. Good luck and don't forget to blow out all the dirt around the spark plug before removing it so it doesn't fall into the cylinder.

I JUST came back from changing my plugs...


everything went fine except the last 2 on the passenger side ( the two closes to the firewall )

I wasnt using a swivel and I had to move some things I prob shouldnt of had to to get the socket out... also the socket I used got cought on the passenger side intake and I had to pull it out w/ some plyers... maby a swivel would of fixed that, I dunno. the intake manifold hung a lil too far over the opening for the plug I think.... it was a bitch.... but its over now... took about 2.5 hours due to the last two plugs
