Any spark plugs I know you turn clock wise to tighten and turn opposite to take out. Just like most bolts.
A little trick to remember is get yourself a little bolt and nut and hold the nut as if you were putting the spark plug in and screw the bolt into the nut then do the same to take the spark plug out.
You take it to a qualified repair shop < some people are just not smart enough to fix cars .

Vacuume Leaks can cause this problems. you have to do a through check of vacuum hoses and the EGR valve. Your best bet can be to have your vehicle scanned at an autozone store and get a code. The EGR has to be closed at idle, then as the engine warms up or is accelerated, the EGR opens. That is if your car does not have an electronic EGR . The electronic EGRs do not use vacuum to operate. They are controlled by the PCM (power train control Module).

Could be a short in the wiring for the O2 sensor. I currently have the same issue only my car finally threw a code after two days of it acting up. Code 106. Changed the MAP sensor and it now throws 108, MAP sensor high voltage circuit. Ah the joys of cold weather and broke down vehicles. But I know that you wont always get a code with a short. Let me know if you fixed the problem.

Hello there,
Well good news! There is a fix for everything. First we will start with the clicking in the column. This is common and is one of two things.
1-the airbag clock spring is defective. Not an easy job but totaly doable with the right guidence and an fairly inexpensive tool. You will need to remove the air bag in the column but you will save if you do it yourself.
2-The turn signal cancelation pawl and or cam screws backed out. This in turn will rub on the lower side of the clock spring and the clicking would be the head of the screws rubbing on the rigges on the bottom of the clock spring. Remove the airbag and steering wheel. Remove the retainig clip on the clock spring and remove the clock spring. Inspect the screws holding down the turn signal cancelation cam.
Ok and for the ABS could be multipule problems. Your truck is equiped with OBD 2. Is there an check engine light, ABS light, or a brake light on in the insturment cluster? You may have a series of componding problems. The brakes could be dragging created by a defective caliper or wheel cyl. Or it could be a simple fuse related problem in the ABS circuit. The fuse is typicly located under the hood in the engine compartment and labled ABS in the fuse panel. If I can be of anymore assistance let me know.

24 is speed sensor. Has no bering on a stationary car.
15 is the coolant sensor circuit. (which you already replaced)
66 is AC refridgerant.
19.... i have no idea.
From what you have described, i would almost have to say it's the idle control sensor, or intake manifold vacuum leaks. Make sur everything is tight, and wiggle all the hoses around to make sure none are cracked or loose. Use a length of fuel hose held to your ear, or a stethoscope if you have one, and listen and wiggle hoses with the engine running. If there are no leaks, go for the idle control sensor. If that doesn't do it, it'll be the mass air flow sensor. But usually when they act up, the car will start and die, start and die. Good luck.

You may be looking at dirty injectors. I would run a good quality (something like Wynns or Redline) fuel system cleaner through, following the directions on the bottle twice. Which usually means adding the bottle to a full tank of fuel, and then adding another bottle after a second fill. Check for improvement, this will cost under $30, vs a trip to a mechanic. A friend of mine had a 2.2l in a sunfire that did something very similar and a good cleaning cleared it up completely. Unfortunately, he spent $300 at a mechanic to find out.
