Where the hell are they? Wow i feel so stupid right now. The car is an 03 pretege es, where are the spark plugs so i can change them out.

hahaha NO,
I have swapped out trannys, brake jobs, water pumps, alternators, shocks and struts among other things but those were all on older V8 or V6 cars and trucks. This is my first 4cyl car.

Ok well i have a pic if necessary but i just looked and there are four round rubber covers on top of the valve cover. I imagine that these are covering the spark plugs i tried pulling one of them off to check but it seemed like it was requiring quite a bit of force and i didn't want to break something. Is there an easy way to get them off? Or do they normally require alot of force and i just need to pull harder?

[Witchdoktor]

pull harder

[traitorhound]

pull harder

^^^^^i concur

see so there is no engine cover. what you are seeing are the actual boots to the plug wires and then the coils are the other two covers on there
