Recommended gap for plugs

[snakepitt1]

Strange, they were there last thime I looked this morning. I guess the forum deleted them on it's own.
Who knows.

Scott, when you look you see them because there run from a location given by you. When others (me) look I can't.

Try to seen them via email.

I too do not have the EGR tube, mine is sealed in the center and on the far right has two tubes running somewhere. On the left there is just a screw hole.

I got the picture problem figured out. You should now be able to see all pictures documenting plug, wire and coil replacement

I can now see the pics.
Thanks

Your plugs look nicer then mine did. My stocks were are black and chared looking, nasty.

Does the Screamin Demon coil make that big of a difference? What exactly does it do better then stock?

[snakepitt1]

The screamin demon provides about 4ooo volts over the stock. Unfortunately, the coil I had, had a defective #2 coil. This resulted in deactivation of cylinders #1 and #2. I shipped the coil back to the manufacturer for analysis and a refund too. They have never seen this failure mode before. Lucky me, huh? Before the coil failed, there was a difference in acceleration.

How difficult was it to put in again?
And the price please?
Unless I find it out sooner giving a search here.

[:I]How hard is it to change the spark plugs, I have always done this myself on Neons I owned and also an Eclipse, but this looks a little trickier. I have socket sets etc. Should I change the wires at the same time? Thanks, planning a road trip to Canada and would like to do all maintainence before leaving, Harrisonmml

[snakepitt1]

Changing the plugs and wires made a huge difference in both drivability and fuel usage. Socket sizes are documented in the pictures. Once you raise the intake runners, everything is a breeze. The PT owners manual (for 2003 non-turbo, schedual-B) indicates that the plugs should be changed at 30,000 miles, the cheap factory wires should find their way to the bottom of your trash can at the same time. IMHO.

Many member here have helped me with alot of this.
Snakepitts pics and steps help alot for an 03. You'll notice the back of the throttle body or EGR are a little different. But basically the same steps.

Try this for additional help

Just make up your sn name and a password. They don't bother me much since I have, to view this here.

I just did my first ever actual plug and wire change myself only. Tuesday night on my PT. I thought it would be a real pain. Had to go up the street 3 times to get correct parts because of poor planning.

It was not as hard as I thought it was going to be.

Once everything is out and your lifting the intake manifold (black piece) up. You will need to remove the wires one at a time. Wire then plug. BE CAREFUL, if these are stock wires, then they will stick. Watch out when they pop out of the holes, for lack of better terms. I cut my left index finger pretty bad when the last wire on the left popped and my hand flew up into the intake manifold piece while I was trying to remove it.
Wear gloves, like the latex kind. It sure helped me.
Also make sure to use Anitseise on plug threads and Dielectric grease on wire boots.

Heres a link if you want to see my finger. Well that sounds funny.
The gloves helped. Other wise I would have a grease filled finger. It was clean under the glove.
Looks better in pic then in person.

Thanks a million for the help with the spark plugs; aftera little nudging I got the dbl Plat plugs and new wires What a difference, Hubby, who generally can't tell the difference between the Bose speakers and the $20 boom box in the garage, was impressed before he even drove it, and more so after I allowed him a quick spin.
