Hello, in this guide we will replace the spark plugs within a 2011 Hyundai Elantra.
The spark plugs within your vehicle ignite the fuel and air by providing a spark that allows its internal combustion engine to function correctly. Having worn-out spark plugs can lead to issues within your vehicle, such as losing power, rough idling, engine misfiring, and slow acceleration.
Whether your engine has any of the symptoms listed above or you are conducting a routine tune-up in your vehicle, this guide will show you how to replace your spark plugs using simple steps and images to ensure a quick and easy replacement.
While following this guide, disconnect the battery entirely in step 3, as having the battery connected while working on your vehicle can lead to harm or injury.
