Pontiac 19417055 SPARK PLUG ASM,GAS ENG IGN

The spark plugs are screwed into the head of inline engines and into the side of the V8 engines, while, in inline models, the air intake resonator must be removed to access the spark plugs. For V8 type of engines the spark plug wires should be disconnected in the following manner; one should twist and pull the wire boot while avoiding pulling the wire. Other very useful items are the special spark plug socket that has padding to protect the porcelain insulator, various form of extension, torque wrench to ensure right tightening of the spark plug and the gap checkers that are useful in determining the gaps on the new spark plugs. It is recommended to buy new plugs and pre-gap them; always replacing them one by one so that the right type of plug for the engine is acquired. After the engine cool off, remove the old plug and install the new one, inspect it for any defect and correct the gap as well. The separation is confirmed by placing an impedance probe in-between the electrodes; it must feel somewhat sticky when the wire is moved across it; slight modifications are possible by bending the side electrode. For inline engines, unscrew and disconnect the intake air resonator, then unscrew the screw and disconnect the ignition coil connectors on the valve cover and remove the bolts of each coil. On V8 engines, turn and pull the spark plug wire boots back yet do not pull the wires. Before removing it is advisable to blow through the spark plug hole with air pressure to eliminate any dirt then can use a socket and extension to remove the plugs. This should be done against a reference chart to deduce the condition of the engine and a thin layer of anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads of the new plugs; without spreading on the electrodes. Insert the new plugs by hands until they are tightened by hand then use torque wrench or ratchet to tighten the plugs while using a short piece of rubber hose while doing this to avoid cross threading. Reapply the same process to the other plugs, and after a replacement of the next steps, bolt the ignition coils as well as the air intake resonator back into place.

On V6 models, the spark plugs are in the center of the valve covers, while those of VB models are to the left and right of the engine. Equipment required for spark plug replacement includes a definite spark plug socket that fits a ratchet, various bars, and a gap gauge for testing gaps of the new spark plug, with a torque wrench advisable for a tightness of the plug. New plugs should be bought ahead of time, installed using a gap convenient for the engine type, and put in one by one to acquire the correct plug for the singular engine. Therefore it is recommended to let the engine to cool before any plugs are removed in order not to harm the aluminum cylinder heads and inspect the new plugs for defective ones as well as their gaps. The gap is controlled by fitting the correct thickness of gauge into the tip of the plug, before the wire can be slid between the electrodes it should just drag slightly. All of the ignition coils for V6 engines are located underneath the upper intake manifold and as usual begin by having to remove the upper intake manifold to accesses all of the coils for the engine, next, unplug the wiring harness from each coil, and unscrew the retention bolts which releases the ignition coils from the valve cover. On V8 engines, with the engine off and cooled down: pull on the spark plug wire boot only and twist if needed to remove it from one of the plugs. In case compressed air is available, it should be used to blow of the spark plug hole to see that no dirt falls into the cylinder. In turn the spark plug socket is placed over the plug and unscrewed using a ratchet and extension and taken off in the anticlockwise direction. About half a thread of anti-seize compound should be spread on the threads of the spark plug and a new plug screwed in as tightly as it can be turned by hand and then with the help of a torque wrench or a ratchet. A short length of rubber hose can be used in helping in threading of the plug to avoid damaging the threads of the hole. This has to be done for the remaining spark plugs then screw back the ignition coil and join the wiring for the V6 vehicles while inspecting the boot and the wire for any signs of damage before joining the plug wire to the new spark plug of the V8 vehicles by twisting it until it comes into contact.

To change the spark plugs in your vehicle, you will need some important tools like a ratchet, socket for spark plug, various extensions and gap gauge appropriate for gap adjustment. Though a specific plug wire removal tool is available, it is not required. Ensure you have a torque wrench to fit the new spark plugs tightly. The first step involves allowing the engine to cool off completely and then checking the new plugs for any defect as well as making sure that their gaps are adjusted using a gap gauge if necessary. The gap must match with the specification on Emissions Control Information Label. Remove one spark plug wire at a time by only holding and pulling on its rubber boot or by using the plug wire removal tool if needed. If there is compressed air available, blow out any debris around the spark plug hole to avoid contamination. A spark plug socket has to be used to remove the old spark plug turning it counterclockwise. Reviewing the old spark plugs helps determine an engine's state of affairs. Thinly coat threads of new plugs with anti-seize compound before installing them. Using your hands screw in a new one until it becomes impossible to turn any further then tighten using a torque wrench or ratchet. In situations where reaching plugs poses difficulty use short lengths of rubber tubing as threading tools. Lastly, connect each wire from the plug wires by twisting and then turn until it is locked into place and repeat this process moving on to another one at a time so that none of these wires get mixed up.

The spark plugs of the V6 models are fixed between the two valve covers for each cylinder, while for the VB models, they are fixed at the right-hand side of the cylinder heads. These are mainly; Spark plug socket WHICH is a tool that is fitted onto a ratchet Various extensions A gap gauge THAT are used in checking the gaps on the new plugs A torque wrenchWhich is recommended when tightening the spark plugs. The best practice is to buy new plugs, gap them correctly and put one in, the right type of plug for the engine at a time. This must not be done while the engine is still hot so as to prevent damaging the aluminum cylinder heads that can be so fragile at this time: As you wait for the engine to cool you should look for defective plugs among the new ones and correct the gaps. This is done by inserting the proper thickness gauge between the electrodes at the tip of the plug and it should slide with a slight resistance. On the V6 models, the front and rear covers of the engine should be removed to work on all the ignition coils at once Only after that, the wiring from each coil should be disconnected, the bolts holding the coil to the valve cover loosened, and the coil removed from the valve cover. For V8 engines, with the engine cool, wait for the cooling fan to stop, then disconnect the spark plug wire from a plug pulling only on the boot, preferably with a removal tool. If you have compressed air available use it to blow the excess dirt that may be in the spark plug hole. Put the spark plug socket on the plug and take it off using a ratchet and an extension-it's done clockwise. How the condition of the engine and running of the car is determined by the spark plug is then compared to a chart and before the new plugs are fitted, a thin layer of anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads only. Put in the new plug until you can no longer turn it with your hand and then use a torque wrench and ratchet to snug it down using a short length of rubber hose to thread it in so you do not cross thread the block. Do the same for the other plugs then for V6 models, in the same sequence, fit the ignition coil, further tighten the retaining bolts and plug the electrical connector onto it. For the VB engine models, one should ensure that boot and wire are not damaged then plug wire with the help of twisting motion directly on a new spark plug and should be seated and then repeat the same for the remaining ones.

The spark plugs are situated at the sides of the cylinder heads and often to change the spark plugs a spanner in the form of a spark plug socket which is in turn connected to an angle ratchet, various extension pieces and a spark plug gap gauge which is used to check the gaps of the new spark plugs; A torque wrench is desirable for the right tightening of the spark plug. Plugs are often best bought new and gauged to the required gap and it's important to remember that not all plugs are the same and getting the right size for the engine. Before you pull out any of the spark plug, ensure that the engine has cooled in order not to melt the aluminium heads of the engine and as you wait, you can inspect the new plugs and ensure that the plunges gap is correct. This is done with the use of a proper-thickness gauge whereby the electrodes are inserted and the gap is such that the gauge slides through the electrodes with a slight drag; if the gap is not correct then the spark plug should be changed since it cannot be adjusted. Start the removal of the fuel rail cover by disconnecting the fuel rail cover tab at both side of the engine, finally for safety, the removal of spark plug wire should be done when the engine is cold, this can be done by pulling the wire except for the boot in a twisting manner. If possible, blow out the spark plug hole with compressed air and wipe away any residue, put the spark plug socket over the spark plug and unscrew it anti-clockwise. Compare the removed spark plug with other spark plugs to evaluate the engine running condition, use a little of anti-seize compound on the plug threads, then screw into the threaded hole until it feels in place that it can no longer be rotated by hand; then tighten with a torque wrench or ratchet. A short length of rubber hose can be used to thread the plug into place without harm to the threads of the plug. Do this to the next plugs and, before connecting the spark plug wire, look for any damage to the boot and the wire before twisting the boot towards the plug.

The spark plugs are screwed on the sides of the cylinder heads, on the side of the exhaust ports. Common tools required for spark plug replacement are a spark plug socket adapted to a ratchet, different extension and last but not the least a gap checkers which has the responsibility to check the gaps of the replaced spark plugs. There are special tools for the removal of plug wires from the wire boots but this is not compulsory, the torque wrench should only be used to tighten the new plugs into place. For this job it is useful to buy new plugs beforehand, install them on the correct gap, and install them one at a time for the correct plug type for the engine. New spark plug should not be fitted without prior confirming that they are free from any defects and that the gap has been set properly and this should be done after the engine has cooled off and all the plugs have been removed. The gap is measured by placing the correct thickness of gauge between the electrodes at the tip of the plug; if the gap should be altered, it is done by bending the side electrode gently without distorting the porcelain insulator. Remove the front wheel lug nuts and then lift the front of the car up using jackstands and then remove the wheels and inner fender splash guards as to access the rear plugs easily. When it's cold restart the engine and after the engine is cold, disconnect the spark plug wire from one plug pulling only on the boot On the spark plug hole blow with compressed air. Insert the spark plug socket over the plug and unscrew it anti-clockwise, if necessary, use an extension. Consequently, the comparison of the old spark plug with the chart document the running condition of the engine, while a thin layer of the anti-seize compound must be applied to the threads of the new plugs. Screw a new plug into the hole until it can't be turned any further by hand, then tighten it up as far as possible using a torque wrench or ratchet; fit a short length of rubber hose onto the coupling to prevent cross-threading. Last of all, tighten the plug wire on the new spark plug with twisting motion and carry on the same for the rest of the spark plugs but connect them one by one to avoid confusion between plug wires and correct position, if connected wrong it may cause misfiring of the engine.

They are mounted on the cylinder head(s) and the equipment required to change them are a spark plug socket compatible with a ratchet, various extensions, a gap wire used to check the gap of the new spark plugs and a torque meter used in tightening. It is also good to have new plugs and adjust their gap before fitting them; it is also recommended that they need to be changed one at a time so as to ensure that the correct type is provided for the specific engine. It is advisable not to pull out the removed plugs until the engines have cooled when already on the garage floor make sure that the new plugs do not have any defects and that the gap is right. Using the proper thickness-gauge one checks the gap and if the gap is to be adjusted, then one should bend the side electrode properly because bending it roughly may cause some harm to the porcelain insulator. For V6 models, air intake duct could be detached and on V8 models, rear bank ignition coil mounting bracket could be unbolted to provide good access to the rear spark plugs. When disconnected the spark plug wire, pull only the boot, if necessary twirl compressed air to blow into the spark plug hole. To take off the spark plug, use the socket and turn it anti-clockwise, then examine the old plug relative to the new spark plugs for the condition of the engine when running. If one is changed with bare hands, screw in a new plug until the last turns are very tight, then tighten it to preset standards with the help of a torque wrench or a ratchet; a short rubber hose is useful to thread it home without risk of cross-threading. Before fitting the spark plug wire to the new plug turn it round and round in order to have a tight connection for all the spark plugs in place so as not to confuse the wires while replacing each of the plugs separately.

The spark plugs can be accessed only when the air intake resonator and the ignition coils are pulled off; they are screwed into the top of the cylinder head. Equipment usually required for replacement comprises a spark plug socket that screws into the handle of a ratchet, several extensions, a gap gauge to measure the distances between electrodes in the new spark plugs, and a torque wrench, although the last is not indispensable. Bear in mind that spark plugs on these models are 1/8-inch longer than standard plugs; therefore, the spark plug socket should not hit on the longer plugs to avoid cracking the insulators. The proper procedure is to buy new plugs before when they are needed and set them to the correct gap, besides putting them one by one and making sure that the right plug is for the engine. Ensure the engine has cooled down before taking out any plugs and wait for the new plugs you intend to use and ensure that none of them has defects and ensure you check on the gap as well. The gap is verified using a proper-thickness gauge intercalated between the electrodes at the end of a plug, and the thickness gauge comes in a tapered form due to the recommendation by the manufacturers to prevent scratching of the platinum layers on the electrodes. Now that the engine should be cool, go on and remove the ignition coils; gently twist and pull the spark plug boots upward. If it is possible, first expel air in the spark plug hole with the compressed air to avoid introduction of contamination when withdrawing the spark plug. Insert the ceramic of the spark plug socket over the plug and rotate it anti-clockwise to unscrew it, sometimes there is need to use extension bar in order to access some of the plugs. Check the deposited condition on the old spark plug to note the running condition and before fitting new spark plugs apply anti seize on the spark plug threads but not on the lower threads. Insert a new plug to the point where it cannot be turned manually and then snug it up with a torque wrench or a ratchet head, with rubber hose slipped on the end of the plug to help you cover the plug hole just in case you'll get to thread the plug crosswise. Lastly fit the plug boot on to the coil and to the spark plug in the same way, until all the spark plugs are fitted.
