I searched, and it either says it found no topics, or too many topics, so I tried google and didn't find anything too helpfull.
Thought i'd look under the hood, but it's not very self explanatory.
Really I just need to know can I just unplug the wires (one at a time) and replace them, or is there other things I need to do..?

Just do one at a time so you dont mix them up.

LOL

No one has done a DIY because it's that easy mang. Take one off, compare it to the length on the new ones you bought, get the same length, put the new one on. Repeat.

Ok cool..just wanted to make sure I dont mess something up XD
Now, I know I should be able to just look and find the wires, but I only saw one set of 4 wires on the right side of the engine. Looked like the right ones, but it looked like I would have to take off the engine plate that hyundai says on it. Are those the right wires? lol.gif

Yes, you will have to remove the bolts holding the spark plug cover on and remove it then you will see the rest of the wires and it will all make sense.

Make sure you only pull on the boots at the end of the wires. Never pull on the wires themselves or you could damage them.

Also make sure that when you screw the sparkplug cover back down that you dont overtorque it. It is just plastic after all smile.gif

Yeah,, I just did mine and it was the easiest thing I have ever done. What made it easier was the fact that the stock wires had numbers on them and my new NGK wires had numbers on them as well. Matched right up.

I've owned a few cars and let me tell you, changing the sparkplug wires on the Tiburon is walk in the park compared to some of the cars I've owned.
