FYI for DIY plug replacement on 2001 Ininiti I30

[Mike G]

Since I received no information on difficulty through the Tech section (refer to the FSM....), I though I would just dig in. Here is an insight or two...

The front bank of plugs takes all of 10 minutes and is straight forward. removal of the coil pack doesn't even require disconnecting. I broke the plugs loose then used my 5/8" plug socket to grab and remove the plug. I also used the plug socket to install the new plug (holds it lightly for the journey into the hole), then sinched it down with the correct metric unit when done.

For the rears, I loosened the two bolts holding the throttle cables to the intake manifold by the throttle body. Then unplug the wires to the coil packs, this makes removal easy. Remove the coil packs and repeat the plug process. When done with the plugs reverse the coil pack replacement and don't forget to tighten down the throttle cables.

Per the Mitchell manuals, this is a labor job of 1.2 hours and considering my trips to the tool box, it was pretty much right on.

Good luck my friends... --Mike
