[aaronm_2003]

Whats up? I serached for somethin to tell me how to do this, but I couldn't find anything. This may seem like a stupid question, but how the hell do I cnahge the spark plugs on my 98 N/T? Either tell me how, or post a link of an article that tells how. Thanks

Fairly Simple really. Just get 4 new plugs, and gap them properly. Gapping is there will be a small tool at the auto parts store, and you are measuring the distance between the electrode and plug. Once they are all gapped properly, get your spark plug socket, and long extension and a ratchet. Remove the plastic cover on the valve cover.

DOING ONE AT A TIME,(so you dont get the wires mixed up) remove the plug wire (the boot is fairly long as it reaches into the engine). Put the socket down the hole, and click it onto the spark plug, turn it loose and pull it up. The rubber inside the spark plug socket will hold the plug in place. Next, push the new spark plug into the socket, lower it down the hole, and VERY GENTLY begin to turn it in. Be sure that it is seated in the threads correctly before you go cranking away on it. Get it fairly tight, but dont go crazy either. Push the plug wire back on, and move on to the next spark plug. When you are done with all 4, replace the spark plug cover and you are done.

Yea, basically. Just find a way to smush the electrode down until the gapping tool fits snugly at the proper gap.
