If I get new spark plugs, gap them correctly, remove 1 old spark plug, insert the new one, & re-connect the wire, & repeat for the other 3 cylinders... there's no way I can screw up the ignition timing... right??

Re: Changing Spark Plugs	Sign In

You are correct if you do them one at a time. Are you having a problem after spark plug installation?

If it has a lot of miles on vehicle, you may want to consider a good quality wire set also. I also recommend using OEM plugs in your vehicle. Good luck and have fun.

Would you be able to recommend a wire set for me. It's a 4 cyl 2.5l 94,500 miles. I'll check the manual for what they recommend as far as spark plugs.

Get the same size wire that is installed originally. A good quality name will work. post make and model for us please.
