Hi guys,

I am about to do something that I've never done in my life. Change the platinum sparks in my Magna V6 3.5 from 2003 TJ Series.

Anything I should be in particular careful about?

Shouldn't be a difficult job, should it?

The difficulty from my point of view would be putting up with the back ache from leaning over such a low engine bay. Used to think changing the plugs on a GTHO Ph 111 was difficult, but we never had the wires and tubes like we see on the modern vehicle with such tiny engine bays.

Cut and paste from your post in 1st gen section

You have to remove the inlet plenum to do the rear plugs. This can be a pain for a first timer. Take your time and label/mark all the vac hoses on the various inlet tracts, mainly around the TB area.

Once the plenum is off, chuck a clean rag over the exposed inlets. Last thing you want is dropping a bolt somewhere.

Also you posted this up in the wrong section. The mods should be able to move it
