I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles. How often should I change out my spark plugs?

Should I change out the spark plug wires also? I looked and spark plugs are relatively inexpensive so I was thinking why not, but will I be able to tell really about improved gas mileage or how well it runs?I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles.

If your 2002 Accord has the original spark plugs and wires, you should change them out. They now make spark plugs and wires that last 100,000 miles, but you have to be careful. If you leave spark plugs in that long and they're exposed to the elements, you may have a very tough time getting them out without breaking them.



Changing out the plugs and wires may make a big difference in gas mileage or the way your car runs, but then again it may not. This is one of those recurring maintenance issues with cars (parts wear out, that's just the way it is). If changing out the plugs and wires doesn't have the desired effect, you may want to consider putting in a new fuel filter too. It's a relatively inexpensive job that usually pays big dividends in older vehicles.I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles. How often should I change out my spark plugs?
105,000 mi is the required change interval along with the timing belt.

There is nothing wrong with changing the plugs sooner. I did mine on my 2002 Accord at about 75,000 may have improved my mileage a little and it ran a little smother but its not necessary. Make sure you get the exactly the plug that is called for.I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles. How often should I change out my spark plugs?
Spark plugs don't deteriorate fast but I would recommend for you to replace them every ten to fifteen thousand miles along with new cables. The change in the miles per gallon is not going to be a noticeable difference. Never the less, in the long run any difference is good.I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles.

I had an '82 ford with a 302. My first set of plugs went 80,000 miles. I had a 97 Toyota tacoma. I replaced my first set of plugs at 130,000. If your engime skips when it is damp or misfires, It is time for new plugs and wires. My rule is %26quot; If it ain't broke, don't fix it.%26quot; Never remove your plugs from the engine when cold. If you do this with an aluminum head, The aluminum threads will come out with the plug. Aluminum has twice the coefficient of thermal expansion of steel and transfers heat four times as fast. Warm it up, shut it down, and immediately remove them.I have a 2002 Honda Accord (4cyl.) with 98k miles. How often should I change out my spark plugs?
Every 20,000-30,000 miles is the safest way to go. You'll keep everything in good working order now that you're almost at 100K miles. You'll also need to pull the wires and check out the ends for dirt/rust.
