How to replace spark plugs safely and effectively on GMC Canyon?

Replace the spark plugs by first eliminating ignition coils from the engine. Wear protective glasses because compressed air operation may result in flying dirt particles causing eye damage. The Spark Plug recess area should undergo cleaning before removal to prevent foreign material from entering the Cylinder Head because such debris would harm the engine or contaminate the cylinder threads which might lead to improper new plug fitting; utilize a thread chaser to clean thread contamination. Low-pressure air cleaning should be used to prep Spark Plug recesses before waiting for complete engine cooling to reduce the risks of damaging Cylinder Head threads through plug thread seizing. Examine the removed spark plugs when the inspection ends. The engine needs its exact recommended spark plugs because alternative plug temperatures either hot or cold will cause serious engine damage. Use a round feeler gauge to measure sparkling gaps on new and reconditioned spark plugs before using them because the initial installation might change preinstalled gaps which can cause engine malfunction and destruction. Compare the Spark Plug gap to its specified value while making any necessary corrections. A thread chaser should be used for cleaning the threads during installation while checking that each Spark Plug threads properly before achieving full seat position. Fitting the spark plugs into each Cylinder Head requires a 18 nm (13 lb ft) of torque application. Finally, install the ignition coils.

Spark Plug is a component used in GMC Canyon vehicle to ignite the AF mixture required to burn in the engine system. The engine operates with the help of electrical energy from the ignition system giving out a high voltage electric current that spark the mixture and creates the necessary combustion pressure that pushes the pistons. GMC Canyon models have also had Spark Plugs ranging from copper/nickel, platinum, double platinum, and also the iridium kind made to fit in certain GMC ignition systems depending on the car's performance level. The major variation within these Spark Plugs is the type of material used in the manufacturing process as well as holding up of the Product over time. Small copper/nickel plugs are utilized in relatively old ignition systems because of their relatively low operating temperatures when compared with the more modern platinum and iridium types that have longer longevity rates and better high-temperature performance. Double platinum plugs are mainly meant for Distributorless Ignition Systems (DIS), which guarantees that they will last as long as possible without being worn out.
