Does your engine look like this? I have numbered the wires to their respective plugs. NOTE: this is not the firing order, I used to numbers only to match the wires to the plugs. Hope this helps !

How to change spark plugs

Those are as easy as they come these days. Mark each spark plug wire with a piece of tape with the cylinder # written on it, so as not to mix up the wires. Remove each spark plug wire by firmly grasping the wire by the boot (do not pull on the wire) and twist it back and forth a few times while pulling slowly. It should pop off without a great deal of effort. If it is seized and it breaks, you will have to replace the wire, or at the very least replace the terminals (if you can get some). Use an air hose and blow around the base of each spark plug to dislodge any loose dirt that could fall into the cylinders (not absolutely necessary, but a good idea). Remove each spark plug with a spark plug socket and extension and ratchet (I forget which size socket, it's either 5/8 or 13/16). Check the gaps of each new spark plug (typically around 0.035 in). re-install each new spark plug by hand (do not cross-thread them) and once you have ensured that the plug is threaded in properly, tighten the plug until it seats, and then tighten an additional 1/16 of a turn. Repeat this for the remaining plugs. Re-install wires to the corresponding spark plugs. You're done!

Where are the spark plugs on a 99 cherokee 4.0? are they going to be a pain to change?

they are on the passenger side of the engine, in the head, and under the spark plug wire boots. There are six of them.

You'll need a 3/8 ratchet, an extension, and a spark plug socket. A spark plug socket will have a rubber boot inside of it to protect the spark plug when removing and installing.

Remove the spark plug wires from the the plugs one at a time. Replace the plug, reinstall the plug wire, and then do the next one. This way you don't get the plug wires confused.

When installing the new plug make sure you start it buy hand and turn it several times into the cylinder to make sure the threads are not cross threads. Then use the ratchet and socket to tighten the rest of the way. They don't need to be super tight, just snug!

Make sure you use the correct champion plug. This is the same plug that was installed from the factory and the engine will run the best with this plug installed. they will be available from any parts store.

Good luck!

My 98 Durango is coughing and having a hard time getting up to speed without excessive jerking. It hasn't stalled yet, but I need to know what it might be so I can get it fixed. What can cause this?

Install a new fuel filter, spark plugs and wires and check the air filter. If it is not misfiring then the issue is probably fuel related.

Replacing spark plugs

Not exactly sure what you need?
Standard Rules:
Use a Spark Plug Socket to remove and install Spark Plugs.
Replace (remove) one Wire at a time from one Spark Plug.
Replace One Spark Plug at a time. Use Anti-Seize Grease applied moderately to the threads on the new Spark Plug.
Using a Socket (with a extension) START all installations using your hands. This prevents cross-threading and stripping of the threads inside the Heads.
Standard Torque 15-20 ft-lbs.
Replace the One Wire connection to that One Spark Plug.
Replace that One Wire connection to the Ignition Coil.
Go onto the next Spark Plug using the above Rules.
Repeat.

For the 3.4L V6:
Firing Order:
1-2-3-4-5-6
Cylinders:
......(back)
1.......3.......5
2.......4.......6
......(front)
Ignition Coil Connections:
............(back)
.|.5..2.|..|.3..6.|..|.4..1.|

Spark Plugs

It is very difficult to change it is all done by feel as you cannot see it. You need to pull the wire off and "remember" the path it took to come out as this is the way you will have to remove and install the plug and put back the wire. Also, be very mindfull while installing the plug because it can be stripped out fairly easy if your not carefull. Good luck.
