Changing Spark Plugs on 2009 Aveo

Paste that part number into google and it should pull up a bunch of sites that had sold them in the past. Call em up and see if they have them in stock.

Already contacted a few of them... no luck so far.

So I called/emailed everyone I could google with that part number, and no luck with that... even called local stores: Action Auto parts, Autozone, O'Reilly's (former Schucks)... no luck. Then on my way to Action Auto Parts to pick up a WIX filter for my HHR I saw a sign for NAPA auto parts... So as usual, they have their couple of brands I've never heard of, and then when I asked for the best they could get - he said that he would highly suggest NGK's ( ) wire set. He stock checked it for me and sure enough, one left in some warehouse in Connecticut Ordered it, it should be here next week!!!

Haha, nice (lucky) find.

Yep. Agreed. I hope they will live up to their brand name and last me the life of my car... or at least this engine. Wishful thinking, but I would love to get a Z20LET put into my Aveo. \/

I don't know if it's doable or if one could even be shipped state side thou... I'd need a VX-R ECU, harness, and all the other happy stuff that attaches to it... Oh, and I believe it has to have 6 speed transmission? Now that's REALLY wishful thinking.

Here's the one for 04/05 (written back in 06, so the other years didn't really exist yet), but I'm sure the general guidelines for your car are the same... viewtopic.php?f=22&t=58

ill type up a diy for this this weekend with pics i NEED to do mine just been to busy on other cars im at like 79000 k on same plugs i know i know but i will get something up this weekend

Just did mine today on my 09 Aveo5. I bought the Autolite Iridium plugs for 6.99/pc. I was very surprised to not find any spark plug wires, just that bar that houses everything! It took about 10 minutes because I was being very careful and checking all of the gaps. I don't really notice any difference in how the plugs perform on the 60 mile drive to work, but maybe my fuel economy will improve a little. I filled up on the way home and found a solid 39mph on mostly highway driving. One thing of note on the 09 is that you need a number 40 star bit driver to remove the plug bridge. It also made putting everything back together easier to use antiseize on the studs that hold the plug bridge on.

yeah plugs wont make much of a difference, but if they are gapped wrong or going bad you will notice lol

[petrified.rabbit]

that bridge you speak of is the coil pack, its directly on the spark plugs instead of on the side of the block (hence no plug wires)
