Hi I just got my spark plugs changed on mazda 3 2006 1.6 engine. But i am not feeling good acceleration like before and shaky gear shift? What could be the cause for this? I am really worried. I diagnosed and found out code p0123 throttle sensor issue. But the car was running smooth before the change. Could you give any advice?

[@kieranmilton2276]

Hey I have a Mazda 3 2006, same engine as this. My engine light was showing and I was experiencing small misfires so I took it to a mechanic to diagnose the light. He told me his machine was reading a faulty coil. I changed the one coil and all spark plugs but my engine light is still showing. Any tips on why this is? Thanks

[@ayo9907]

Hello, Does anyone knows the location not the knock sensor of this engine?

[@vladbucur9935]

Great video! What spark plugs did you use?

[@ecologicaltime]

NGK brand

[@irnhmmr]

Exactly what I am looking for this morning. Do you normally disconnect the battery when doing a job like this?

[@ecologicaltime]

i dont, but its best practice to do that.

[@rainsofhealing]

That was my question too

[@bastogne315]

Nah...

[@draco_tv_letsride]

May I ask if I need to remove the spark plug to remove the valve cover? I would like to replace the valve cover gasket.

[@ecologicaltime]

i have a video showing the installation, its in my Mercedes playlist.

[@draco_tv_letsride]

Thank you for the reply, I just solved the problem, I didnt see that there is one more bolt in the centre of the valve cover,..now I already replace the valve cover gasket, now I have one problem there is a white smoke coming from the engine after I replaced the gasket., im not sure if that is because of oil residue from the dead spark plug or it needs to be tuned up.

[@alfredandrews8071]

the cover for the two plugs next to each other on my 2007 is held with rivets, I can't remove them!

[@mickcundall4036]

Same here. How did you get round the problem?

[@tralockoconnor4255]

Same problem ...did you solve?

[@selbycarsales]

Same, looks like no one has replied with the best way to remove though :(
