is your car DIS or distributor?

Either way get your plugs from Honda/Acura as they are pre gapped

distributor follow:

1. Replace cap and rotor

2. remove plastic engine cover

3. follow the wire from the distributor to the plug and remove the spark plug wire at the plug end only.

4. Inspect plug wire for oil. if it has oil on it, time for new tube seals

5. using a ratchet and socket with an extension, remove old plug

6. using a spark plug chart, inspect plug to make sure that it is normal in color, if not investigate further

7. Install new plug by inserting it into the spark plug socket and with your hand, start threading the plug with the socket and extension...to help prevent cross threading. if you are unable to start the threading by hand back up and try again.... cross threading a plug = sucks ass for you. Once you have the plug started tighten to factory specs. do not over tighten otherwise removing them later will be a major PITA


repeat steps 3-7 for each plug

for a DIS car (no distributor and spark plug wires)

1. remove plastic cover on engine

2. starting with either side of the motor use allen wrench to remove coil pack. inspect coil for any plysical damage replace if needed

3. Inspect end of coil pack for oil. if it has oil on it, time for new tube seals

4. using a ratchet and socket with an extension, remove old plug

5. using a spark plug chart, inspect plug to make sure that it is normal in color, if not investigate further

6. Install new plug by inserting it into the spark plug socket and with your hand, start threading the plug with the socket and extension...to help prevent cross threading. if you are unable to start the threading by hand back up and try again.... cross threading a plug = sucks ass for you. Once you have the plug started tighten to factory specs. do not over tighten otherwise removing them later will be a major PITA
