How do I remove the side panels from my RF900 to be able to change the spark plugs

Instructions

• Locate the spark plug cables along the top or the sides of the engine, depending on CR-V model. Once the engine cools, use the trim panel tool to twist the spark plug wire at the wire's boot, which is the larger rubber portion located on top of the spark plug.
  
• 2Pull back on the spark plug wire to remove it from the spark plug.
  
• 
  
• Place the socket on top of the spark plug and turn it counter-clockwise to unscrew and remove the spark plug from the well.
  
• 4Rub anti-seize lubricant onto the new spark plug threads and on the tip of the spark plug.
  
• 5Insert the new spark plug into the well. Manually turn the plug clockwise to thread the spark plug into place.
  
• 6Test the tension on the plug with the tension testing tool. Adjust the tension as needed. Honda CR-V spark plugs generally need a tension between 10 and 15 foot pounds. The spark plug's packaging indicates its suggested tension.
  
• 7Replace the spark plug wire, turn it from side to side and lock it into place. Continue the process with the rest of the spark plugs one at a time until all of the spark plugs are replaced.
  

Inspection

Inspect for the correct routing of the spark plug wires. Improper routing may cause cross-firing. Inspect each wire for any signs of cranks or splits in the wire. Inspect each plug wire boot for tearing, piercing, arcing, carbon tracking or a corroded terminal.
If there is any corrosion, carbon tracking or arcing indicated on a plug wire boot or terminal, both the plug wire and component it was connected to should be replaced.

Removal & Installation

3.5L Engine

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove the left side spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
3. Remove the left side plug wires from the retaining clips.
4. Rotate the engine for access as follows:
   1. Set the parking brake.
   2. Shift the transaxle into neutral.
   3. Remove the engine mount strut bolts. Swing the engine mount struts aside.
   4. Install the Engine Tilt Strap J-41131.
   5. Pull on the engine in order to rotate the engine forward.
   6. Tighten the strap.
   
   
5. Remove the right side spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
6. Remove the plug wires from the retaining clip.
7. Remove the spark wires from the ignition coils.
8. Remove the plug wire assembly from the engine.
   NOTE If you are replacing the spark plug wires, the spark plug wire conduit and retaining clips should be transferred to the replacement wires.
   

To install:

1. Install the right side plug wires to the ignition coils and then the spark plugs.
2. Install the spark plug wires to the retaining clip.
3. Rotate the engine back to the original position.
4. Install the left side spark plug wires to the ignition coils and then to the spark plugs.
5. Install the spark plug wires to the retaining clips.

3.9L Engine

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove the intake manifold cover.
3. Remove the left side spark plug wires as follows:
   1. Disconnect the left side spark plug wires from the spark plugs.
   2. Disconnect the left side spark plug wires from the ignition coil.
   3. Remove the left side spark plug wire clips from the intake manifold and heater inlet and outlet pipe.
   4. Remove the left side spark plug wire assembly.
   
   
4. If removing the right side spark plug wires, the engine must be rotated for access as follows:
   1. Set the parking brake.
   2. Shift the transaxle into neutral.
   3. Remove the engine mount strut bolts. Swing the engine mount struts aside.
   4. Install the Engine Tilt Strap J-41131.
   5. Pull on the engine in order to rotate the engine forward.
   6. Tighten the strap.
   
   
5. After rotating the engine, remove the right side spark plug wires as follows:
   1. Disconnect the right side spark plug wires from the spark plugs and ignition coil.
   
   
6. Remove the right side spark plug wire clip from the ignition coil bracket.
7. Remove the right side spark plug wire assembly.

To install:

1. Install the spark plug wire assembly.
2. Install the right side spark plug wire clip at the ignition coil bracket.
3. Connect the plug wires to the ignition coil and spark plugs.
4. If the engine was rotated for access, return the engine to the original position.
5. The remainder of the installation is the reverse order of removal.

Most likely carb or the spark plug/s.

Change all of then through the wheel well, there is a rubber cover that can be flipped up to access all the spark plugs with the spark plug socket and extension.
Note the #3 spark plug on the drivers side, your going to need a spark plug socket with a swivel built in with it to take the spark plug out. The shock tower mount get's in the way and you can only loosen the plug and then your going to have to use your fingers to remove an replace it, then use the socket and extension to tighten it again.
Don't forget to use anti-seize on the new spark plugs for an easier service the next time you replace the plugs.
Good luck and you should not have to raise the s10 up. Thanks for using Fixya

Did it spark well on all the plugs? Usually if you have no change in idle with two wires removed it needs a new set of spark plug wires. If it was cylinder 2 & 3 (side by side) then you should suspect a head gasket. Does the Bronco have multiple coils or a coil pack with multiple inputs? Are these two plugs hooked up to one coil?

the spark plugs are located on either side next to the intake manifold you will need to remove the coils to get to them

battery , tires, body panels, foot brake lever, mirriors on the right side how much would that cost????

remove the bettery on the left side of car on the right side of car remove washer bottle remove spark plug wires and take of your spark plugs ( not an easy process hard to get to frame rail in the way)

access usually via small removable panels, left or right, roughly by your feet... if not then lift seat, some have removable panel at the bottom of the seat tub underneath. you don't have to remove all the body work, I'm sure of that.

You didn't specify whether you have the (4) cylinder or the (6) cylinder engine..... I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L 4 cylinder and I just changed the spark plugs in it. I believe that the 2005 2.4L engine is the same. To locate and change the (4) spark plugs on a 2004 Hyundai 2.4L 4 cylinder engine: Remove the (4) 12mm bolts from the decorative plastic engine cover. Remove plastic cover from engine and place it off to the side out of your way. Standing in front of the car, the (4) spark plugs are located laterally (left to right) in the recessed area underneath where the plastic engine cover was removed. Note: This engine has (2) coils....They are located above spark plugs number (2) and (3) from left to right. Starting with the fist spark plug on the left: Remove the spark plug cable by pulling straight up on the insulated connector. Using a spark plug socket, remove the old spark plug and install a new one in it's place. To access the second spark plug from the left, remove the electrical connector and the spark plug cable wire from coil number (1) and then remove the (2) 12mm bolts that secure the coil to the engine. Spark plug number (2) is located directly under the coil. Lift the coil straight up removing the insulated connector from spark plug number (2). Using a spark plug socket, remove old spark and install a new one in it's place. Repeat same procedures for spark plugs number (3) and (4). Note: If you have the (6) cylinder engine, the front (3) sparks pluge are readilly accessible but in order to access the (3) rear spark plugs, you will have to remove the intake manifold
