Requesting a DIY for spark plug change/adjustment

[1WhiteSSTC]

I see where my plugs are in the LNF but I'm wondering about the black covers over them........do i unbolt them to access the plugs? That's my best guess but I want to be 110% sure b4 i go pulling things apart, i have a bad habit of not doing enough research then breaking parts and snapping because of it. I also have a bad habit of over-tightening things so a torque spec would be good to know as well, for the LNF spark plugs.

yes those are the coils.Take those off and the plugs are underneath

is there anyway to hurt the coils if one doesn't want to come off? does this mean the black boxes are very important and DO NOT BREAK THEM OR YOUR CAR WON'T RUN? I hate working on my car but I love it at the same time

They pop out.take the harness off then unbolt it and pull.they slide right out and its really hard to **** em up.Ive pulled mine a million times

thank you, that makes me feel much better about doing this, i'm gunna check my gaps cause i'm at 34,000km and i drive like a bat outta hell ALOT. As well i've had a random misfire every few weeks, pops a code but i never really notice the misfire in my driving.

Do not, repeat, do not take the plugs out if the engine is warm.

That's about all the help I can be for you.

Ummm ****, too late there man, all my plug gaps were good tho, what did I fuk up by taking them out while the engine is warm/hot?

 

[FASTL61]

Ahh usually you wont hurt anything but sometimes you can warp something or hurt the threads but you should be fine

 

[outtamymind]

nothing really. just not good to do it like that as its easier to break or warp things when its warm. i highly doubt you did anything nate.
