How to check park plugs

[Nitrous911]

I used the searh button to see if there is a write up of how to check spark plugs, maybe I was using the wrong words or sequence of words when searching.I was wondering if anyone could help me locate and check my spark plugs for a 2000 C280.A walk through, or a write up would be apprciated.Thanks.

Read this article for vast knowledge on the subject. As for plugs I would recommend Denso IK16 or IK20.

on your v6 there are 2 plugs per cyl. they should be right above the exhaust manifold. you will see 2 wires/cables leading out of the each ignition coil to the plugs. unplug those wires/cables and use the appropriate socket to remove the plugs(I think its 5/8 hex).
