Spark Plugs

I'd like to get a set of NGK's one heat range colder than stock, I'm thinking thses are the ones to get. I'd like to know if these would be ok, and what the part numbers would be if anyone knows.

Also, where is the IAC located, and how do you clean it?

Get some NGK TR-6's. Those will work fine. The IAC is located on the passenger side of the plenum. Look in the center of this picture. It's the thing with the billet on it.

Just unplug it and remove the two screws that secure it to the plenum. Make sure not to lose the gasket that's between the IAC and the plenum. You can clean it a couple different ways. Some people spray WD-40 into it and then clean it out with Q-Tips. I like to use CRC Electric Parts Cleaner Spray. I just spray it in there, shake it out and let it dry for a few minutes. Then put it back on the same way you took it off and you're good to go.

If you still have your EGR, yes. If not, no. I do mine in about an hour and that's with taking breaks.

if you have the right tools no, if not yes. I have an EGR and get it done in about 45 minutes now. the snap on long spark plug socket helps and you need a 7 mm, swivel socket to get to some of the coil pac bolts. also some extensions.
