Saturn Sky Spark Plug Installation
Spark plugs ignite the fuel mixture in your engines cylinders, without which your engine cannot burn gasoline efficiently. Installing new spark plugs on a Saturn Sky is a straightforward procedure. With a few tools and the right instructions, you can replace your own spark plugs quickly to save yourself a visit to the dealership and some money.
Instructions

Park your car on flat, even surface and put on the parking brake. Allow your engine to cool before you remove old spark plugs and install new ones. Be sure to remove and install only one spark plug at a time as the wiring for each spark plug is specific and needs to attached in an exact order to function properly.
2Pop open the hood and locate your spark plugs. Refer to your Saturn Sky owners manual if you cant find them, if you lost your owners manual see the link in the Resource section.
3Remove the spark plug wire by pull on the boot and not the wire itself, or you risk damaging the wires.
4Attach the spark plug socket to the socket wrench (attach a socket wrench swivel and extension if you need added length to reach the spark plug) and remove the spark plug by turning the wrench counter-clockwise. Clean the spark plug hole with rubbing alcohol and a clean rag.
5Spray anti-seize grease onto the new spark plug and screw it into the spark plug hole by hand. Carefully tighten the new spark plug with the spark plug socket until its snug. Reconnect the spark plug wire. Move on to the next spark plug until you have finished installing all of them.
Seriously? This is not how the process works. For starters, there's an engine cover and stuff insulation blanket in the way. Second, These cars have coil packs sitting on each plug, not a traditional boot and wire. I could go on, but it's clear that this was not written for a Saturn Sky. Sorry.
