SOURCE: I need a diagram for a spark plug wires on a 99'

start with the serpentine belt side of the car (passenger) the first plug hole will be #1 then 2-4 as you work your way to the drivers side as Im guessing this is a 4 cylinder. The coil pack on the top of the engine has all the plug wires coming out of it and should be numbered 1-4 go accordingly from there.

Changing spark plugs - need to remove intake manifold and should change gaskets...which ones?

To change a spark plug. 1.Disconnect the wire attached to the spark plug it would be wise to do only one at a time! 2.Take a long socket that will fit the spark plug 3.Attach to the socket wrench and turn counter clockwise until off. 4. Put the new spark plug in and hand screw until tight then turn the socket wrench clockwise until completely tight usually 1 1/2 turns. 5.Then reconnect the spark plug wire. Easy as that. Repeat steps 3-5 for the rest and remember ONE PLUG WIRE AT A TIME!
