In what order should you replace spark plugs?
When you’re changing your vehicle’s spark plugs, work on one spark plug at a time: Remove it, inspect it, clean it, and — if it’s salvageable — gap the spark plugs. Then replace it before you move on to the next spark plug in cylinder sequence order.
Does it matter the order of spark plugs?
Does Spark Plug Wire Order Matter? The spark plug wire order matters a lot. In most cases, the wires are labeled with numbers that will help you match with the right cylinder. To avoid mixing up and placing spark plug wires in the wrong cylinder, it is prudent to replace them one at a time.
When should you replace spark plug leads?
That’s why it pays to replace your spark plug wires before they wear out. We recommend changing them during spark plug changes (whenever your owner’s manual recommends, usually between 60,000 and 100,000 miles).

Why are my rear lights not working on my Holden Commodore?
If you find dim, or partially working rear lights, a common problem found is water corroding electrical connections. Thouroughly remove rust from globe sockets and mounts, then the full current can travel through the globe. Another trick is to drill a small hole under the lens to let the water out.
What makes an ignition coil pack start sparking?
When the ignition control module (ICM) receives these crank sensor signals, it starts to create a switching signal for each individual ignition coil pack. It’s this switching signal in combination with 12 Volts that make the ignition coil packs start sparking away.
Why is the window on my Holden Commodore cracking?
Usually due to rust under the seal as well. Naturally the window has to be removed and is quite possible that it will crack, especially if there are chips etc. Repair the rust if present,and reseal with a new seal. The genuine VK window seal will fit into all of these and is much superior,also it doesn’t have the annoying centre insert! Good Luck.
What to do about oil leak in blue Commodore?
The inlet manifolds on blue and black engines warp near the egr crossover and oil leaks past the bolt and forms a pool of oil. The proper way to fix this is to remove and machine the manifold, but a temporary fix is to remove the 2 centre manifold bolts on the right side of the manifold and apply a sealant to the bolts and replace.
