Spark Plug Location?

38667 Views 29 Replies 17 Participants Last post by  BVM
Where exactly are the spark plugs located on our pacificas? I replaced the air filter yesterday and was kinda looking around for them i didnt see much. 3 might be located back by the firewall? I am afraid someone is going to tell me under the intake and that does not look fun to take off. I am one that likes to replace plugs about every 30 to 50k.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION - Ignition Coil
REMOVAL

  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.

    NOTE
    It is not necessary to remove the upper intake manifold to service the ignition coils for cylinders 1,3, or 5 on the RH side of the engine.

  2. If removing the ignition coils from cylinders 2, 4 or 6 on the LH side of the engine, first remove the upper intake manifold (2) and insulator (Refer to Engine/Manifolds/MANIFOLD, Intake/Removal and Installation).


  3. If removing the ignition coil from cylinder 2, loosen the upper intake manifold support bracket bolt (1).


  4. Unlock and disconnect the electrical connector (1) from the ignition coil.


  5. Remove the ignition coil (1) mounting bolt.
  6. Pull the ignition coil (1) from cylinder head cover opening with a slight twisting action.
INSTALLATION

  1. Using compressed air, blow out any dirt or contaminants from around the top of spark plug.
  2. Check the condition of the ignition coil rubber boot. Inspect the opening of the boot for any debris, tears or rips. Carefully remove any debris with a lint free cloth.



    CAUTION
    Do not apply a silicone based grease such as Mopar® Dielectric Grease to the ignition coil rubber boot. The silicone based grease will absorb into the boot causing it to stick and tear.

  3. Place a small, 360° bead of Mopar® Molykote G–5008 lubricant (1) along the inside opening of the coil boot approximately 1 to 2 mm from the chamfer edge but not on the chamfered surface.


  4. Position the ignition coil (1) into the cylinder head cover opening. Using a twisting action, push the ignition coil onto the spark plug.
  5. Install the ignition coil mounting bolt and tighten to the proper (Torque Specifications).


  6. Connect and lock the electrical connector (1) to the ignition coil.
  7. If removed, install the insulator and the upper intake manifold (Refer to Engine/Manifolds/MANIFOLD, Intake/Removal and Installation).


  8. If loosened, tighten the upper intake manifold support bracket bolt (1) to the proper (Torque Specifications).
  9. Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), connect the IBS connector to the negative battery cable.
why does it say to not use the silicon mopar dielectric but to use the Molykote g-5008? Molykote is also silicon based?
