So the old Hundy has right at 90,000 miles and I wanted to give her some new life again, but unfortunately I have never changed the spark plugs on this particular type of vehicle. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a good online manual or perhaps a few tips on what to look for and of course what not to do? I'm pretty good at fixing things, but unfortunately I haven't been exposed to a lot of automobile repair. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Q: How do I install spark plugs correctly?
A: It is essential to tighten a spark plug to the specified turning angle or torque setting. First, screw in the plug finger tight until the gasket meets the cylinder head. Then seat the plug/gasket with a torque or turning angle wrench as specified in the chart in this link: http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/techinfo/spark_plugs/faq/faqtorque.asp?nav=31200&country=US

Hyundai Spark Plugs

this is a simple task for most people. Just buy the correct spark plugs for your vehicle. The gap should be preadjusted at the time of purchase right out of the box. Just replace 1 spark plug at a time so you dont confuse the firing order of the engine. You will need a spark plug socket, an extension rod and a good wratchet wrench 3/8 drive should be fine. Make sure you do not cross thread the plugs when installing them into the engine, and make sure that the engine is cold. this should do it for you, if you need more help, feel free to e-mail me.
good luck

just pull the plug wires off the the plugs, get a spark plug wrench and untighten them and pull them out. they make an attachment to the socket wrench that has rubber inside of it to grab the spark plug and pull it out. buy some new plugs. I think you can buy them pre-gapped. put the new plugs in and tighten with the wrench. DON'T overtighten them. some people use a torque wrench, I just go by feel. It's a no brainer.

The syptoms you are describing could also be water condensation in the fuel tank (less likely), or crud in your fuel filter. Have you changed that yet? Also, you can try Heet or Sea Foam in your fuel tank to dry any condensation/water. Also, does it idle ok when not accelerating? Does it spit and sputter at all? You say that the injectors are ok electrically, but have you removed them and cleaned them/had them cleaned? Crud buildup in the injectors can cause issues upon acceleration, but not necessarily at idle or cruise speed. Also, the camshaft sensor is what tells the injectors to squirt at the right times. You may have an issue with that, but not enough for the Check Engine light to come on with code P0340 or P0342.

My Bentley fouled a spark plug, so I bought a new one.
I got it in blue this time...
What's wrong with my grammar?
