Default Should I?

Ok guys, I need to replace my oil pressure sensor this weekend, it went out yesterday, after I read the forum I wasn't as freaked out..

I looked up the directions on how to change myself, which will be a good test for me...

But here is my question: should I do the spark plugs while I am there, while it is apart? How difficult will this be?

I have an 01 with 83k miles....



Thanks a million guys,

Tara

Since it's no easier with the intake off, I would say no. Too many variables when you put it back together if something ran bad, you wouldn't know if it was the intake or the plugs causing the problem. Do the plugs after.

And there is an alternate way of changing the senser that doesnt involve removing the intake, but involves cuting a hole under your wiper tray.
