Need to change my plugs, but have some questions

2004+ Nissan Quest

Hi all,

I'm nearing the 105k plug change time on my 2004 Quest... I'm guessing this applies to other Nissan models too so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

It's one of the newer design where there aren't any plug wires - instead there's some sort of 'boot' that connects directly.

Do I need to replace all 6 boots like I would the older style wires when I change the plugs or are those good for multiple plug changes? I ask because they're crazy expensive - something like $40/ea.

Thanks!

Hard!

Unless you have alot of experience, I would take it somewhere. You have to take the top of the intake manifold off and it's hard as hell to get to the bolts in the back. You can't see them so you have to go on feel. Getting them off, hard. Getting them back on, a pain in the arse. I haven't done it on the Quest yet, but I did them myself on my 2k2 Maxima which has the same engine. The coil packs themselves are easy to remove, but you have to be gentle with them once removed.
