this may be a stupid but i need some ideas. My friends and me tried to change the sparkplugs on my 8 yesterday taking the wheel off and working from the side, we tried to the get the spark plugs out with no result and we also didnt have enough room to work so we decided to work on it next weekend jacking the car up BUT last night when i drove to work my car had a really hard start and did a "funny" noise and it seems like the car didntt have much power either when driving from a stop . So im guessing that when trying to get the spark plug out we broke something some how and that my car is missfiring or something like that any ideas? because i really dont wanna taker my car into the dealer.

Thanks in advance

you need some extension and a wobble head to get in there.
probably a loose wire? make sure everything is tight.
could it be you broke a electrode inside?

You might have broke a plug trying to get them out. Change the plugs, and check to make sure you have the right wires going to the right plugs.

thanks for the hel guys! my friend and me tried again wwe changed the 4 sparkplugs and wow it feels like a new car and you were both right the coil was loose and the sparkplug had a pretty big crack. Im almost 100% sure the sparkplugs were never changed before ( i bought the car about 4 months ago ) because they were destroyed lol im gonna upload pictures tomorrow so everyone can they a look at my old sparkplugs thanks a lot guys

if thats the case, might be a good time to change the coils too.
