I am not a mechanic (so bare with me). I did get the Haynes manual (its awful) and I did some research.
My son was given a car to start practicing driving. So together we started doing some maintenance on it.
2008 Kia Sorento LX 3.3
VIN: KNDJD735485857011
I was able to replace the spark plugs on the driver side (1,3, 5), but for the other side its under something (based on research I think it's the surge tank).
This is where I need help.
I assume I would need to remove the engine room resonator (again), the air filter housing, disconnect the maf sensor connector and disconnect that intake hose and put that to the side.
From what I can tell from the diagram its been held by 3 bolts. I am guessing there is a good chance that I will need to replace the surge tank gasket.
What about lines and electrical connectors? Are there any lines that have fluid that i don't have to take off? i assuming we can just tilt it just to get the spark plugs.
I have added some diagrams that I have been using and picture of the engine. Reference part numbers is helpful as well as any assistance.
Thanks ahead of time.
