How to Change Chevy Beretta Spark Plug Wires

The Chevy Beretta spark plug wires are in the back of the car due to the fact that the Beretta uses a mid-mount engine design. After 30,000 miles, the spark plugs in the Beretta should be changed. You'll need to open the trunk and climb into the small trunk compartment area in order to access the plug wires. Once you're in the trunk, change all of the wires, but only work on one spark plug wire at a time.

Instructions

1. Open the trunk and climb in. You'll need to get into the trunk to access the spark plug wires, as trying to reach them from outside the car is quite a stretch.

2. Remove one of the spark plug wires from the top of one of the engine banks. Gently wiggle it from side to side while pulling it straight out of the engine.

3. Follow the wire to the distributor (on the other end of the wire). Pull the plug off the distributor in the same manner that you removed the plug from the engine side.

4. Install the new spark plug wire. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure that the small plug end of the wire is pushed over the distributor electrode and that the long, or large, end of the spark plug wire is pushed down into the cylinder bank over the top of the spark plug. Make sure the spark plugs sit snug.
