Question: changing plugs in 01' coupe

[markmark]

Hello everyone, I have almost 75,000 miles on my 01' coupe and thought it was about time to put some fresh plugs in. Can some of you relate some of your experiences and every shortcut that is known to man? Thanks. mark

Well I did my '02 one week ago and it isn't bad at all. Driver side EGR hose routing has to be removed from exhaust manifold to gain easier access to plugs. Just remove two 10 mm bolts and pull it up and out of the way. No need to remove clamps. One flexible extension and one short one and your good to go. Be careful not to lose the gasket where the 10mm bolts mount to the manifold. See my thread on PCM reflash if you want to go with the updated plugs. Nick
