Engine Idle Trouble
So last night I was driving my truck around in the rain just having some ffun. Unfortunately, I happened to hit a huge puddle, sending water all over my CAI. Needless to say, the engine died. I got it started and drove home.
The truck will run and idle, so I know its not hydrolocked. But the idle is extremely bad, and the truck is throwing P0300. (One or more cylinders not firing). Along with P0102 and P0103 (MAF sensor errors)
So I want to remove the spark plugs and cycle the engine to grt any water out, and replace the spark plugs while I'm at it. So here's my question, how do I remove the spark plugs? Its a vortec 4.8l. I have dealt with all sorts of VWs so I have basic engine knowledge. But I am not familiar with these engines with individual coils.
How do I access the spark plugs? Anyone have any pictures?
Thanks guys!
