I reviewed the YouTube video to change the spark plugs on a 2007 Honda Fit but I have a 2010 Honda Fit and the space the 2007 has to get to the plugs is a lot more than the 2010. Is there something else that has to be done differently to get to the spark plugs and coils on the 2010?

    I know how to change spark plugs and that is not the issue. The issue is getting to the plugs as they are on the backside of the engine and are about 6-inches past/underneath the cowl. There is no clear view of the coils except for the first one. The remaining three are not visible.

    Fixkick, thanks for the info to look at the FSM. I have looked and looked for documentation and I had not heard about the FSM. That is probably just what I need. Again, thanks.

    not a lot of room here, but posting a photo of engine , makes all that iffy stuff go byebye, there is not much room. be sure to do 1 at a time so as not to lose parts down any spark plug hole. use a rubber hose to start the spark plug in the whole, so you dont cross thread it. do not use tools to start the sparkplug as this kills the feel of this...step... use tiny bit of antifeeze. 15-20ft-lbs. max...

You can read the FSM
or read the pages on topic

diffr. years, may have different engines, diff. size engines (options) too.

you post is non specific, you never said what you cant do.
nor what was hard, or confusing, ?
so cant help.
if you have the engine with COP coils. you remove them.
1 by one, blow out the dirt in the wells.
then remove the spark plug (CCW)
then gap the new plug and put it back at about 20fl/lbs torque max.
if you cant reach a plug, use the 3/8" drive
Universal and extensions. some take 2 exentions.
one for the well and one to lean back.

alldata.com its all there,...
or post stopping point, or show photos of the place that befuddles you.

Check all of your grounds: There is one in front of the transmission leading from the negative wiring from your battery. Another goes from your battery wiring to the inside of your fender area. 10mm bolt. There is another on your driver's side motor mount to the valve cover. Check all relative fuses too.

or...

Main Relay : Up above your gas pedal. Above your cruise control computer. It will be a gray box or a brown box about 3" square. TO DIAGNOSE: Try to tap it while you try to start it, you might need a helper. If this is it... Don't buy a new one, just pry the cover off of it and look close to find the broken solder connection. Heat the faulty pin until the solder puddles around it and your good to go. It's smaller than a human hair, look close and you'll see the loose connection.

Testimonial: "I'm going to check that first thing in the morning.I really do appreciate your help with this the holidays are over.Thank you very much"

SOURCE: I am trying to replace my honda fit spark plugs

First of all why? Most people change their sparkplugs because the car has a problem. A 2007 Honda Fit with less than 150,000 miles shouldn't need new plugs

Unfortunately you probably need a new distributor. There are three pick-up coils mounted down inside the base of it. They go bad quite commonly. The unfortunate part is; the new distributor will come with a new cap, rotor, coil and module...which you have already bought. The distributors are not that expensive though, maybe you can sell the extra parts???

not hard to do , just need a little patience to get the coils out of the plug wells.also a swivel type 5/8 inch spark plug socket works best when removing the plugs. as for the spark plug gap, the vehicle requires platinum plugs which do not need gapped.
