My sister is having her grandson tuneup her car which is fuel injected but they can't find the spark plugs. Can you explain to me where their location on the engine is in a way that I can tell tham?

There's a cover over the engine that is held by 1 nut, on top, in the center of the engine.

You remove that nut with the square end of a 1/4" ratchet extension and slide the engine cover forward.

That car has 8 individual "coil packs", 1 on top of each spark plug. Some of them are hard to get to.

Facing the car, the cylinders from front to back on the left side are 1 thru 4 and 5 thru 8 are on the right side.

The coil packs are easier to reach on the left side, we will have to remove the air intake hose from the air cleaner to reach the coil packs on the right side.

He will need a 10" long, 1/4" ratchet extension with a universal swivel to reach some of the 7mm screws that hold the coil packs down.

He'll need a 3/8" drive ratchet with a foam insert to remove the spark plug.

You don't have to, but I like to disconnect the battery first.

Good Luck!
