Cylinder 6 misfire.

[thomas.treadaway]

So I have a code saying cylinder 6 is misfiring and it shakes and rattles a if driven. We all know how fun #6 plug is to change. Does anyone have any major tips to help it go as smoothly as possible?

Easiest is to remove the upper intake, but that takes longer than just going for the plug. Some people have to unclip the brake lines along the firewall to get access, but I've never had to. Beyond that, it's just two extensions (6"+) with a u-joint between them and make sure you have the plug threaded right. Go slow and you'll be fine.

Okay I will give it my best shot. Freaks me out but I know I can do it, just a matter of being patient and going slow. Thanks for the tip!

Update. Got the spark plug and wire replaced, had the help of my wonderful wife and now the X is running as it should!
