is there any easy way to change the spark plug wires. it took my brother and two other people 2 1/2 hours to do just one wire https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif ..the one that goes right under the tb..so anybody else have this much trouble?

lol. welcome to the wonderful world of owning an FD3S...

im sure there are "easy" ways, but i havent tackled the wires yet. i think ill wait till the engine is out or somehting.

they took off the intake pipe and that only "helped" a little..also i think its harder with a strut bar on..but yea have fun.

It will be your job. Your hands are probably smaller! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

Take off the TB, it only takes a few minutes.



Then you have plenty of room.

Ha, I work with a Ford Senior Master Technician and when we got my car up on the lift for the first time and he took a look at it, one of the first things he said was "MY GOD CHANGING YOUR SPARK PLUG WIRES IS GOING TO BE A BITCH!!" But he did say it can be done with a lot of patience. I know that he's a "Ford" tech but this guy is amazing with all cars, and that was the first time I ever heard him complain about anything on any car, and he wasn't even working on it. Hey at least the spark plugs are a breeze! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Bobby is right, remove the throttle body and elbow and its alot easier.

It should only take someone of average monkey wrenching skill 30 min.

yeah, remove stuff like they said above, much easier.



i'm pretty inept https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png but i did mine with just the elbow off. i had the most trouble with trailing #1...i was swearing in japanese..and i don't even know any japanese https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

you dont even have to take out the TB.... just the elbow, and the coils are underneath the TB



if it took you that long to replace the wires.. it will take you the whole day to replace the spark plugs

go non seq.. take u 5 min after that haha.
