How are spark plugs replaced on GMC Canyon?

The spark plugs are screwed into the head of inline engines and into the side of the V8 engines, while, in inline models, the air intake resonator must be removed to access the spark plugs. For V8 type of engines the spark plug wires should be disconnected in the following manner; one should twist and pull the wire boot while avoiding pulling the wire. Other very useful items are the special spark plug socket that has padding to protect the porcelain insulator, various form of extension, torque wrench to ensure right tightening of the spark plug and the gap checkers that are useful in determining the gaps on the new spark plugs. It is recommended to buy new plugs and pre-gap them; always replacing them one by one so that the right type of plug for the engine is acquired. After the engine cool off, remove the old plug and install the new one, inspect it for any defect and correct the gap as well. The separation is confirmed by placing an impedance probe in-between the electrodes; it must feel somewhat sticky when the wire is moved across it; slight modifications are possible by bending the side electrode. For inline engines, unscrew and disconnect the intake air resonator, then unscrew the screw and disconnect the ignition coil connectors on the valve cover and remove the bolts of each coil. On V8 engines, turn and pull the spark plug wire boots back yet do not pull the wires. Before removing it is advisable to blow through the spark plug hole with air pressure to eliminate any dirt then can use a socket and extension to remove the plugs. This should be done against a reference chart to deduce the condition of the engine and a thin layer of anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads of the new plugs; without spreading on the electrodes. Insert the new plugs by hands until they are tightened by hand then use torque wrench or ratchet to tighten the plugs while using a short piece of rubber hose while doing this to avoid cross threading. Reapply the same process to the other plugs, and after a replacement of the next steps, bolt the ignition coils as well as the air intake resonator back into place.

GMC Canyon Spark Plug

Spark Plug is a component used in GMC Canyon vehicle to ignite the AF mixture required to burn in the engine system. The engine operates with the help of electrical energy from the ignition system giving out a high voltage electric current that spark the mixture and creates the necessary combustion pressure that pushes the pistons. GMC Canyon models have also had Spark Plugs ranging from copper/nickel, platinum, double platinum, and also the iridium kind made to fit in certain GMC ignition systems depending on the car's performance level. The major variation within these Spark Plugs is the type of material used in the manufacturing process as well as holding up of the Product over time. Small copper/nickel plugs are utilized in relatively old ignition systems because of their relatively low operating temperatures when compared with the more modern platinum and iridium types that have longer longevity rates and better high-temperature performance. Double platinum plugs are mainly meant for Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS), which guarantees that they will last as long as possible without being worn out.

Each OEM GMC Canyon Spark Plug we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
