Introdução
Use this guide to replace your Honda Accord's spark plugs. This specific guide was created for a non-VTEC F23A5 engine, but other 4-cylinder Honda engines will be similar enough to follow the same basic steps. You may have to remove the engine cover in later Accord models.
O que você precisa
-
-
Begin by locating the four spark plug connectors near the front of the valve cover of your engine.
-
-
-
At this point, you can peer down into the spark plug hole and see the top of the spark plug.
-
Attach a 5/8" spark plug socket to a 10" ratchet extension, and attach the extenstion to a socket wrench.
-
Lower the spark plug socket down into the spark plug hole and press downward to firmly seat the spark plug in the rubber retainer found inside the socket. Make sure that the hex thread of the socket lines up with the hex thread of the spark plug.
-
Rotate the socket wrench counter-clockwise to loosen the spark plug from the cylinder head.
-
Lift the spark plug out of the cylinder head.
-
Remove the old spark plug from the spark plug socket.
-
-
-
-
Even if you are using pre-gapped spark plugs, it is a good idea to check the gap before installing your new plugs.
-
Insert the thinnest portion of a spark plug gap gauge between the center electrode and the ground electrode of the spark plug.
-
While holding the gauge between the spark plug gap, rotate it until it gently wedges itself into the gap.
-
The distance of the spark plug gap can now be read off the gauge. The factory spec for this vehicle is anywhere from .039 to .043 inches.

Hi I have a question. I purchased some spark plugs that have the torque labeled at 21 lbs. I bought I Torque wrench but I found out that by using an extension, I would have to change the torque to a lower setting. Do you know of what number I should set it too ?
Actually, it is better to use a higher torque rating, as extensions have torsion, especially the smaller 1/4 or 3/8 size extensions. I would recommend you set it to 22 or 23 foot pounds.

It will be nicer if you give specs like the socket size you used various other settings like that ...
i just tuch it it was on then came of and that's it no more
There is a standard “spark plug socket” that comes with most socket wrench sets. As far as I know, they are all the same size.
Note that you should not use an ordinary socket of that size - a spark plug socket has a rubber grommet in it to hold the plug and prevent damage.

What is the plug caked that sits right above the spark plug wires
Thanks for sharing such a great blog with all details for a non-technical person like me. As per my personal experience sometime it’s hard to deal with mechanical problems then we need to call an expert from Honda service center like gomechanic to get best service at the lowest price at 24x7.
