Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / May 2008Sparkplugs on '97 3.0 maxima
I've been told the inlet manifold needs to be removed to replace plugs. I this true? - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.nissan.maxima More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm > I've been told the inlet manifold needs to be removed to replace plugs.

It's just a couple of socket head cap screws. You do need a 12" extension to reach the plugs.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.nissan.maxima/ > More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html No. You have to take off the plastic cover over the front of the engine to do the front plugs. There is nothing over the rear. Just remove the coils and change the plugs as you would with any other modern engine. Thanks for explaining sparkplug replacement for me. Do you believe it wa actually a mechanic who told me manifold had to be removed. Some mechanic must obtain their trade certificate from a cereal packet! Anyway, thanks again - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.nissan.maxima More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm Sounds kinda like somebody was looking to make enough from the job to cover that next boat payment...

Big difference. Dave
