Question QUESTION: how do you change the spark plug and cables in a 1990 toyota celica st. small engine. thanks
ANSWER: It is not hard to do..
Only change out 1 plug and wire at a time .
That way you will not mix them up..
buy the parts ahead of time..
GOOD LUCK

QUESTION: well, i tried doing that, but i do not know where the spark plugs are at. the wires lead me the the distributor cap and could not locate the spark plugs. my questions is where do i find the spark plugs in my engine.
thanks
ANSWER: If i remeber correctly the spark plugs are in the top of the motor..
puul the spark plg wire off.look down the hold..
they are way down ther.
you may need an extension to pull them out.
i use a rubber hose to grab and reinstall them in tight places..
Good luck.

QUESTION: thanks for your quick response, one more thing, do i need to worry if the the hole where the plugs are at are drenched with oil. when i took one of the plug wires out, it was dripping oil.
Answer The oil was from your valve cover orings leaking.very common..
i would try to wipe away any oil with a long srewdriver and a rag..
then install the spark plugs.
you might want to replace the valve cover gasket and orings soon also.
good luck..
hope i helped..
