Instructions for Replacing Spark Plugs

Model: Ford Escort MK 4 - Years 1990-2000
Part: Spark plugs

It is recommended to perform this maintenance with the engine cold to avoid unpleasant burns; to access the spark plugs, first remove the air duct that runs through the centre of the rocker cover; then pull the leads upwards, and before removing the spark plugs, it is advisable to blow out any dirt from the respective seats to prevent debris from entering the cylinders; proceed to remove the spark plugs and install the new ones without exceeding the torque specification; finally, reapply the leads ensuring they fit perfectly and reassemble the air duct.
