[Tigers] Changing Spark Plugs

[Tom Witt]

2002 Mazda MPV.  Front three spark plugs, 5 minutes. Back three spark plugs, 5 hours. The rear facing plenum and everything associated needs to be removed. Then you have to work blindly under the windshield/dash area to remove the coils and plugs. Thereafter I told the wife NO MORE V-6, FWD vehicles – Ever!

Exactly !  Years ago the Tiger was considered very difficult to change.  Compared to a modern engine it's fairly easy.  I offered to help my son change plugs in his car and backed out once I looked under the hood.

  So we think we've got it bad for changing spark plugs? 

  I just learned that on my daughters Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ, you actually have to unbolt the engine and lift it to get at the spark plugs!!!!

  (And FWIW, with the right jointed extensions, I was able to change the Tiger's plugs without too much trouble).
