How to Replace Spark Plugs on a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro

The spark plugs on the 1999 Chevrolet Camaro engine are designed to provide the spark to the combustion chamber. The spark causes the gas fumes inside of the chamber to ignite. This combustion process allows the piston to compress up and down which in return enables the engine to crank and run. The spark plugs are powered by the distributor. As the inside of the distributor is turning, it supplies the power to the plugs. Over time, the plugs will foul out or corrode. Once this happens, change the spark plugs as soon as possible for maximum engine performance.

Instructions

1

Pull the 1999 Chevrolet Camaro into a safe work area and set the parking brake. Open the hood and prop it in place.

2

Locate the row of spark plugs on both sides of the engine block. The six-cylinder engines will have three spark plugs on each side of the engine block and the eight-cylinder engines will have four spark plugs on both sides of the engine block.

3

Move to the driver side of the engine block and remove the first spark plug wire that is closest to the front of the vehicle. Twist and pull out on the spark plug wire at the same time. Only replace one plug at a time to prevent crossing the plug wires.

4

Slide a long extension and a deep-well socket over the spark plug. Position a ratchet onto the extension and turn the spark plug counter clockwise until the plug is loose. Remove the ratchet, extension and socket from the plug and finish unscrewing the plug with your hand. Pull then plug out of the spark plug hole.

5

Screw the new spark plug into the spark plug hole until it is completely hand tight. Position the ratchet, extension and socket over the new plug and tighten the plug another one-quarter of a turn to completely seat the spark plug to the plug hole. Push the plug wire back over the tip of the spark plug until it locks on to the plug. Gently pull out on the plug to ensure that it is secured to the plug.

6

Move to the other spark plugs and repeat the same process for replacing the spark plugs. Be sure to only replace one plug at a time and to make sure that the plug wires are securely attached to the spark plugs.
