Hi..
Good. The spark plugs, Are located on top of the engine. On each cylinder.
Some cars come with a plastic cover on top of the Engine and you will need to remove to see the Ignition wires. Remove the ignition wires and with a 5/8 socket you will remove the spark plugs.

Be careful Don't drop, because the gap can be out of calibration.
Replace the Ignition wires if need.

Ok. if you have more questions let me know.


Thank you for use fixya..

I have NKG spark plugs what do I set the gaps at for a 2000 chevy prizm

You may want to make sure you have double platinum plugs. NGK will work just fine. The Prizm is a Corolla as well. The correct gap is .044.

I'm only getting spark out of one of the coil packs and the car turns over put won't start, please help me. Thank you

Try switching the ignition coil with the other coil and plug it in and check for spark again. If it works in the other coil location, then you need an ignition coil. Your engine is bad for valve cover gasket leaks which deteriorate the spark plug wires, so if you are going to put in plugs and wires with the new coil, I would recommend replacing the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals(included with the valve cover gasket set).

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY PRIZM IT WON'T STAY STARTED

My chevy Prizm never worked since a while with the same issue I replaced the Catalyst Converter & CPU, - dropped the exhaust system, - checked and replaced most important sensors - replaced fuel pump - all 4 ignition coils at spark plugs It still doing the same thing ... starts and never stay running I will give it a last shot recheck the harness ... it may be a short, or "main fuse" hidden some where there. That before I give up and send it to heaven.

Do not know where spark plugs are located in motor

the spark plugs wires are directly located on top of the engine and the spark plugs are down inside the holes in the valve cover itself. I believe there are also 2 coils on top of the engine, which hide two of the spark plug wires which are attached directly to the underside of each coil, remove the coil pull it upward carefully and you will find the spark plugs for those two in the hole underneath the coil for each one. If you decide to replace the plugs, make sure to check the spark plug gap even if they tell you they are pre-gapped as pre-gapped spark plugs are usually gapped for more than one particular car and it may be incorrectly gapped for your specific vehicle. If you decide to also replace the spark plug wires, you will have to purchase the spark plug wires for the underside of each coil seperately because most local auto parts stores only sell 2 spark plug wires in the set that go onto the non-coil attached wires and plugs, and you have to purchase the coil spark plug wires seperately. So all in all you should have 4 spark plug wires, 2 that attach directly underneath the 2 coils, then 2 regular type wires that run to the other spark plugs. If you look at the valve cover and see the wires, you will see what i am saying better. Just don't forget to ask the autoparts store the spark plug gap recommended for you car, and adjust the gap on the plugs as needed. good luck.
