Hi, I just bought a white Eclipse 1G turbo 4x4 and it needs new spark plugs. This will sound dumb, but where are they and how do I change them?

WHERE ARE THEY? :uh:

They are under the cover in the center of the valve cover. Remove the cover, pull out the pug wires carefully, then remove the plugs with a large plug socket. Do this while the engine is warm, makes them easier to get out with less of a chance of the threads being damaged.

Ok I took of the cover and I see where the spark plugs go, but how do I get off these cables? they seem to be stuck and I won't want to electricute myself by ripping them.

No I am serious man, help me out! Do These things just pull off? The car is a 92 and I think they are stock so maybe they are just stuck after being on this long? Would it be a good idea to replace those too?

If they have been there for a while, it might be tough to pull them out. You won't electricute your self if the engine is not running. Just pull up on the spark plug boot with a slight twisting motion and it should pop out. Don't pull on the wire, pull on the boot. If the wires are original, then I would change them while you're at it.

What brand of plugs are you planning on replacing yours with? I'm hoping that you're going to say NGK.

Step1: Buy a repair manual for the car.

Step2: this is funny.
