Time to replace spark plugs on my 92. The passenger side looks tight. Any tips on getting them out/in ?
Thanks.

There not that bad at all. Only tip I have is don't drop your new ones when trying to thread them in.

i think the only one thats a bit tight is #4, the one on passenger side closest to the firewall. just make sure you have a small spark plug socket. i have one from duralast that is great i use for the 7 plugs but for that last one i have to use a slightly smaller one to clear the header

ive never had an issue replacing them. get a universal joint socket, socket extension and have it at

I have found that #'s 1-3 are easy from the passenger side, number 4 is easier if get at it from the front laying froward in the engine bay with a small extension and ratchet. Oh and if you have the plastic vacuum lines, they become brittle and can break if you hit them, better to unplug it and move it out the way.

That 4th one on the passenger side is a total bitch, took me way longer than the rest, have fun with that, buy the titanium ones so that you can go longer without having to replace them, I wish I had thought of that when I did my last oil change.

dont do that

+1 no titaniums... they don't work well in our cars , stock coppers w/ the gaps closed up a bit work best in my experience. about .045"

i had really bad misfiring at mid rpms and wot on my '90...the platinum plugs were the culprit

anyways, if you remove all the smog stuff and then put it back on...it makes it alot easier...at least dump the the small one that splits, and the intake tube.

if you go smog delete.... the rt side is as easy as the left side after that.

just take off the air intake pipe and u will have more plenty of room to work with
