Acura Maintenance ?

[ElGato]

A buddy got a last gen Acura Integra. He wants me to come over this weekend and "help" (read: me do all the work) change the spark plugs.

Is it a straight forward job, or do I need specialty tools? What should I expect?


Keep in mind I thought the coil on plug thingys on the LS1 was "high tech," I come from distributors, wires, points, and plugs. This will be my first "import" maintenance experience, and I don't want to look like a bigger idiot than I already am.

You'll be fine....It's pretty straight forward.

If it's anything like my Honda (should be similar), spark plugs are a piece of cake. Right up top and easy access. Just don't drop anything down the plug holes.

Tell your friend he needs to learn how to change spark plugs for himself.

You'll need a large wok and some rice wine. Some metric chopsticks may also be necessary.

Extremely easy. Should take no longer than 30 minutes as the spark plugs are right on top.

See, this is what I'm talking about special tools:

My chopsticks are English!:lol:




Thanks Everyone! :beer:I knew I was in for trouble when I asked "Is it a VTEC?" and he replied, "No, it's an Integra." Now I have half a mind to pull the plugs and fill the holes with popcorn.

I'd offer to show him how to change the plugs. I wouldn't do it for him.

If you cant do it, hang up your tools and start knitting socks
