Re: 2000 Silouette. Ok Campers, who's changed their spark plugs ?

This was a great help for replacing spark plugs and the air control check valve. If you apply this to a 2001 with California emissions, then a few more steps are required. Modified Steps: 1. Remove both dogbones 2. Use a ratchet belt strap (for tying down cargo) and thread it through the loop on the right, front corner engine support bracket going through the hole where the hood latches down. (other locations are available too). Rock the engine forward and tighten the strap down slightly. 3. Loosen the 2 screws on the left wiper arm assembly and separate from the ball joint (swing it to the right out of harms way) 4. Loosen the 2 screws on the right wiper arm assembly (middle of the engine compartment) and separate from the ball joint (swing it to the right out of harms way) 5. Label and Remove spark plug wires from ignition module. 6. Remove the 3 electrical connectors from the coil module (1 on the right and 2 on the left) 7. Remove the two front bolts from the coil module 8. Remove the left rear nut from the coil module. (It is located behind the small hole on the left side of the coil module mounting bracket, below the curve) 9. I could not easily remove the right rear nut so I removed the coil packs one at a time by removing the mounting screws. (2 per coil) Once the coil packs are out of the way you should have easy access to the right rear nut. (It is located behind the small hole on the right side of the coil module mounting bracket, below the curve) 10. Change rear plugs. A universal joint and/or a stubby ratchet wrench may be helpful. 11. Reassemble is the opposite order. |

Re: 2000 Silouette. Ok Campers, who's changed their spark plugs ?
I did it from below using ramps on our 2001 Silo at around 50K miles. It is not easy to do, but with this engine and van nothing really is.
If you have 100K miles and this is your first plug change, then you should probably do it from above to allow you easily inspect and/or change the plug wires. |
