How do i change spark plug?
It has gotten very difficult in the last ten years! I don't know if your car has a coil pack for every cylinder like most new cars do or if you can even see them. Most new cars have the spark plug in a deep hole in the center of the valve cover, the coil pack is directly over the spark plug so there are no plug wires. I have never do it yet but it seem me to be easy enough to remove the coil pack to get at the spark plug below it. You need thin wall spark plug socket and a long extension on your socket wrench. Make sure the engine is cold, the steel threads of the spark plug will damage the aluminum threads of the heads if the engine is hot. That is how it looks to me, if you have a distributor with plug wires then its easy. Remember one at a time all the time.

very easy on that year civic, also change fuel filter and air filter, pcv valve. if you're around the 100,000 mile area have timing belt and water pump done to prevent future problems.
