    1. Open the hood. Unscrew the 6 screws of the flange on the front side of the intake manifold cover and 2 screws at the back
    2. Lift the battery cover in the upper right corner and move it slightly to the right
    3. With a rectangular screwdriver, loosen the throttle clamp in the lower right corner and disconnect the throttle pipe
    4. Lift the intake manifold cover and temporarily tie it with a rope to the top of the hood
    5. Unscrew the 2 screws on the left of the timing belt cover (where is the oil fill cap) to gain access to the fifth candle
    6. Change the spark plugs in turn, unscrew two screws from the ignition coil.
    carefully raise the ignition coil. If there is a lot of dirt inside the candle well, you can vacuum it. And using a 16 candle wrench, unscrew the candle.
    7. We put a new plug and tighten, and carefully put on the ignition coil
    8. We collect everything back. Install the timing belt cover and fix it with 2 screws
    9. Fix the inlet upper manifold and tighten the flange screws.
    10. We put on the throttle tube. Fastening the throttle clamp
    11. Put back the battery cover.
