as topic, thank you!!

 

eight..........

 

Well, its a V6, so there's six plugs. 3 up front under "V6 3000" cover. 3 at the rear by the firewall

 

sigh... and you have a drivers license? 6 cylinders, 6 plugs.

 

do i have to replace all 6 of them?

 

I couldint believe my eyes when i saw that quistion but yes there are 6 plugs

 

Off course replace all 6 why would u only replace half how many miles does your max have?

 

omg! Hes serious.... Yes you have to replace ALL 6. Do yourself a favor and take it to a mechanic to be done.

 

Ant ,dont get so hypered up lol, i just want to know where he bought his drivers liscnse

 

give me a break, i am noob, just got my license 2 months ago, anyway thank you!

 

I see one of these on this thread soon

 

oh you are 16? just a odd quistion to ask but its ok youa re new

 

now a slightly higher leval question.....i hope.........how hard is it to change the rear ones? and do i just use ones with 1 tip or should i go with like ones with 4?
thanks

 

No I'm just saying that if you have no knowledge on how or why your car works other than giving it gas its better to have a qualified mechanic do the job. I wouldnt want anyone getting hurt or even worse... the car getting hurt.

 

lol, i am 18 i am trying to replace those plugs by myself

Rear ones are very easy just get a very long extension for the rachet. You have the clearance, just take out the coil packs just like the front. And get NGK Platinum plugs or NGK coppers part number 6953 (if not ask for plugs for a 97 Nissan Altima) they both work on our cars.
PLEASE under no circumstances use any plugs other than NGK. The Bosch 4 prong ones are not good for our cars.

 

ohh just to chime in i as well got my liscense 2 months ago but im 16 however i have always had a passion for cars and am pretty knowledgeble

 

If you go to the 4 Th Gen Stickies there is a step by step write up on how to change spark plugs wiht color photos

 

Sprint to the rescue

 

ahhhhhhh sorry i cant read........now i feel dumb for asking.............sorry again

 

not every car has 1 plug per cyl....some have 2...no really they do

 

That's fine, because he doesn't know squat about cars, and you know squat about proper grammar. You go well together.

 

how much do they charge to replace all those plugs?

 

Lmao funny ****

 

very rare though, I remember the old Nissan/Datsuns that did, my uncle had one it was a 83 200sx I think

Look at rotary motors they have 2 rotors and 2 plugs per rotor for a total of 4.

 

call them up and ask them

 

Depends on the shop, just in plugs your going to be looking at $60 or so for NGK platinums plus another half an hour to 45 minutes in labor.

 

thats too much, i am gonna do it myself since i dont even have a job

 

huh? rx-7's don't have spark plugs

 

They dont?

is it cheaper to buy plugs and bring it to mechanic?
thank you guys!!!

 

Amazing how this thread jumped to 2 pages in just minutes

 

they don't have cylinders but they do have spark plugs.

 

shouldnt be drivin a maxima if you dont have a job!

 

...mechanics like that

 

lol, are u being ironic?

 

give me some advices come on

 

all depends on the mechanic. some mechanics will charge more for labor if they're not making money off of the parts. do a lil research and read up on changing the plugs and you shouldnt have a problem doing it.

 

nevermind.. i know where i got confused..

its Diesels that don't have spark plugs
