when i start my car it seems to die a lil but when i put it in gear everythings fine. im thinkin that one of my spark plugs must be bad or somethin. anyone know how to tell if a spark plug is bad. id check it but im too busy ill be doing that over the weekend. just wanted some quick suggestions i no ima technoob

 

hey, Im no expert either but I think the only way you can check the plugs are to take them out and look at them. My car was doing that for a while though and cleaning the egr valve fixed it.

 

U guys ready for another noob request? here goes.... can anyone show me a diagram of where the spark plugs are for a gt v6 2000. for some reason i can only find 3. thanks again

They are a BITCH.

Basically, follow the 3 wires on the front of the Engine, and they are under that. Now, I can hear you thinking, there are 6 cylinders, so where are the rest? They are on the other side! Under the intake plenum, that silver thing on the top of the engine.

Have fun with that one... I f-ing hate doing plugs and wires on the V6.

Also, when you remove them, if they are melted, and the white part of the plug has turned black, or brown, they are time to go. Replace them with some good ole NGK plugs, and some Mitsubishi wires. Remember that the wires must go in the same order you removed them. Best way to ensure this, is to remove them one at a time, replace the plug and wire, and then do the next.

 

****!!! i was afraid i was gonna have to take off the intake manifold. this sounds like a weekend job to me


thnks for the info. much appreciated

 

Takes about an hour... shouldnt be all that hard.
