How do I change the back 3 spark plugs and wires on a 2005 kia amanti? I've changed the front 3 and coils but not sure what to remove to gain excess to the back 3 plugs and wires. Do you have an exploded view picture of the intake manifold?

Make: Kia
Model: Amanti

I changes the front 3 plugs and coils. I've purchased a plenum gasket if needed but once I looked at the engine, I wasn't sure if that was the way to go. Don't wanna remove anything that is not necessary to gain access to the rear plugs.

Scott :

Hello, I am Scott and I will assist you with your vehicle concern.

Scott :

As you can see by the picture, you will need to remove the upper plenum chamber {the part the curves over the rear head} This will gain you access to the coils and plugs.

When disconnect the injector connector, lift the fuel delivery pipe and injector assembly upward appropriately. At this time unscrew the mounting bolt to lift the fuel delivery pipe.

Reinstall the delivery pipe and injector assembly.
