Instructions:

1. Turn off the engine and let it cool down completely.

2. Open the hood of the car.

3. Locate the spark plugs. They are located on the top of the engine, near the front.

4. Remove the spark plug wires by pulling them straight out of the spark plugs. Be careful not to pull on the wires too hard, as you may damage them.
