Thank you much for showing us how to do this step by step. BTW, the 02 and
newer Sunfires are very nice cars. AKA reliable, good mpg, handles good,
comfy and have some pep. I wish Pontiac did not go under.

ghostlyrich says:

i did not use a torque wrench couldnt tell yea sorry mate

Dosalt says:

no clue on what bending and clipping he is talking about

ghostlyrich says:

Haha is always fun. The bracket was pissing me off and i figured was best
to just bend it haha.

Dosalt says:

may be turn the video off and just run the audio, that would take off any
distraction

Invisiblepanda says:

what foot pounds did you toque them to?

ghostlyrich says:

do you have a alarm ??? if so the starter relay might be messed. could be
the starter i would take it to a local mechanic to diagnose if you get
uncomfortable

ghostlyrich says:

check out sparkplugs. com for model numbers for plugs needed or napa or
lordco or any other autoparts store should have it on file. they do not use
spark plug wires they use a coil pack. “you dont change them like wires”

ghostlyrich says:

Well problem kind of is parts because pontiacs arent made anymore but the
car was great for what it was. Just wrote it offf the other day because it
was in a accident. The major thing i dont like about the sunfire is the
headlights i find they dont shoot light great on the road and cant really
put hids in them because the headlights are so big and would blind every
one and you cant buy projection lenses for for them

ghostlyrich says:

thanks for the helpfull info. i havent had a problem doing it with the
dielectric only but little bit of anti seize never hurts. as for sockets i
just said what i found worked thanks for more info on the socket sizes.

Good video. How many km’s does your Sunfire have ? Any problems you ran
into ? I’m looking at a 2005 Sunfire 4-door with 5 spd manual 88,000 km
Never had a GM car before, only GMC Sierra truck and Chevy Astro van. No
problem with both of them, just regular maintenance. Not sure what to
expect with these Sunfires/Cavaliers.

ghostlyrich says:

great car maintenance wise for sure !

jamesdashark says:

without this video i would have never of found my sparkplugs ( i didnt
think to look there) THANKS!

I had my Sunfire seems 2004 and I never had a single problem with it. It’s
one of the most reliable cars that I have ever owned. I had a Camry brand
new and it started giving me problems at 50,000. I sold the Camry and got
the Sunfire. It has 156,789 miles never had a problem still. Great car

Eric Ver Linden says:

Your manual will say what plugs are recommened. For Sunfire, it’s AC Delco
or NGK.

ghostlyrich says:

Np bud glad i could help

ghostlyrich says:

no prob hope it helped. please “like” the video if you get a chance

mitchell337 says:

thanks for the video, funny how the spark plugs are hidden under the cover
I felt like an idiot when I figured out thats were they were. Also I never
thought to bend that damn bracket outta the way!

Eric Ver Linden says:

Actually, for the Sunfire it’s a 5/8 inch spark plug socket with a 3/8 inch
drive. And when you put the plugs in, you FIRST put anti-seize on the
threads of the plugs then dielectric grease on the top part that attaches
to the boots.

jamesdashark says:

i just put NGK in what the dude at canadian tire said would work best
(pulled ac delco’s out)

ithinkim tupac says:

Any advice on what’s wrong with my 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It won’t turn over
and start it just clicks. It’s not the battery or the spark plugs just
replaced them (good video btw really helped). Could it be the starter has
went out? Any video how to replace the starter

Wolfgang schmidt says:

thank you

Matt Allen says:

Is their a certian kind of plugs i need? Also can you show how to replace
plug wires?

vandohky says:

Good video. How many km’s does your 2003 sunfire have and what have you
replaced so far ? I’m looking at buying a 2005 Sunfire 4-door with 5 spd
manual 88,000 km. Never had a GM car before, only GMC Sierra and Chevy
Astro. Never had a problem with them just regular maintenance. Not sure
what to expect with the Sunfire/Cavalier.

ghostlyrich says:

Ngks are good plugs

2004 Pontiac Sunfire/changed spark plugs (AC DELCO Iridium)/also replaced
the boots between coil and plug. I watched this video first and you make
some good points such as vacuuming the top before removing the plugs. I
also bought a magnet to lift the spark plugs out. They are in there deep. I
would not recommend bending the metal clip as you did in the beginning. You
risk breaking, stretching the metal, and the paint will crack off. Take
your time and go slow. New plugs/car runs great!
