Changing Spark Plug Wires

[adesrt]

Do I have to take the intake off to change the plug wires or is there a way around this. What a dumb set up in my opinion, putting the coils where they are.

Thanks

Be glad that you don't drive a Boxster or Ferrari etc. where you have to drop the motor to do any service work!

To the Wizard, thanks for the laugh!

I recently changed spark plugs and wires on an 05' without taking out the intake. I used long nosed pliers to wiggle wires back in and out of place.

Thanks Chuck,

Guess I was being a bit too critical, nothing comes close to a Viper, in any way. Intake off then

On second thoughts it may be possible, perhaps I will design a tool for the job.

I think you'll find that a dedicated hobbyist who is determined to do this without removing the intake could get it done...especially if time does not matter and one is willing to live with a blemish or two caused by the process...NONE of which are viable lines of reasoning in a responsible commercial shop.

In a way, I hate to "contribute to the delinquency..."...BUT, you might want to read this thread very carefully...and, pause.

Pulling the manifold is not that hard. It just looks complicated but one step at a time is pretty easy. yOU MAY WANT TO PUT ON NEW GASKETS ALTHOUGH SOME SAY IT'S NOT NEEDED. I just didn't want to repeat the process. What wires are you using?

sent you a pm.

I took mine off 3 months after I buoght my car to swap the wires and had it polished at the same time. Had never even seen a intake on a Gen III before. It's not difficult at all to r/r just take your time and be patient.
