Shit man last time I did mine at least half of the wires broke off like that inside of the heat shield sleeve things. Do you have those? I don't see them in the pics. I used dielectric grease on the new wires hoping that would keep them from welding themselves to the fkn plugs again.:mad::mad:

I used special spark plug wire pliers and long reach pliers and they still fkn broke off. :mad::mad::( And what I mean is when they break off the boot comes off but the metal clip that snaps onto the ***** on the plug rips out of the wire and stays on the plug tip. :(
I don’t have a pair of the boot pliers. I know what they are, but don’t think I could get down in there with them anyway.

Yes, I had slipped them off as the wires came out.

DBW TB doesn't have an IAC valve.


Good to know! Was planning to finally clean my TB (1st time in 13 years! Haha) and was going to track down the IAC valve to clean also.

My apologies for misinformation JustFishing! You’d think the older I get the wiser I’d get by not spreading info that I simply assumed. :doh2:

The easiest way for me to pull the ds #8 and #6 plugs and wires out--without breaking them--was to actually lay on top of the motor, my feet hanging over the grill--it put me at the perfect angle to take everything off without breaking anything.

That’s what this sheet is all about. Laying on top the Hoe.

I'm afraid to break something laying my fat ass up on the motor LOL. :oops:
