Guys forgive the lack of knowledge here....pls I pulled the write up and couldnt figure out which of the hoses was the overflow.....I wasnt sure what left,looking out the windsheild, or looking at the motor. Also, where are the plugs relatively located? |

They are on top of the engine and have one ignition coil for each plug - 6 coils for six plugs. You have to unbolt the coils to get at the spark plugs which are pretty deep in the heads. A lot of people confuse the coils with fuel injectors, they are black, cylindrical with a couple wires coming out into a common wire bundle. |

The overflow bottle is on the passenger side firewall. |

I found it easiest to snatch them out using a telescopic magnet.All the auto part store carry them. sort of looks like a antenna with a magnet on the end. Prob $3 bucks or so. |

I finally got it out. Honestly the 3.7 is the hardest motor to get to the plugs thus far. But i notice the kj running a little weird, not really back firing but when you rev it up, and release it kind of sputters out the exhaust. I didnt notice it before so i am not sure. Tomorrow morning i am going to actually remove the coolant bottle and get the hoses out of my way and reseat everything just to make sure i have everything snug and straight. Do i tighten nice and firm or what is the rule there? |

Hmm, be sure NOT to over tighten the spark plugs. Its best to have a torque wrench and torque them to the proper specs, which i dont know.. lol Just dont get them to tight..
