Lobitz68 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 You need to remove the intake manifold. If you are not comfortable doing that, you may want to take it to the dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 x2 ^^ Intake manifold has to come off. Not an extremely difficult task, but if you have never done it before, take lots of picturs so you know where everything goes when you put it back together.

bfurth Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Dodge Avenger has the same engine bay layout as the Journey. These videos should be what you're looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqO8wuz5XUc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEcnXoL_p5o Don't be like this guy though - you don't need impact tools to remove spark plugs. That seems like a good way to break the ceramic on the plug and add a hefty chunk of change to what could be as little as a $20 maintenance item. You can do the entire job with a $30 socket set from your big box home improvement center of choice. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 to the dealer or my trusted mechanic for sure when it comes time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 My DJ is at 93k miles. I'm getting ready to do the spark plug change soon too. I'm excited for the new project! Will be a good time to carb spray and clean out the intake manifold to get rid of all the oil in the runners. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
