I have crossed spark plug wires

Well sounds like You went after the Wrong Problem. Start with New Spark Plugs then a Possible Coil pack Problem. let Me know

The power steering fluid has nothing to do with the backfiring. Need to know why you think the timing is off. is there something else? If you have not played with the timing, backfire could also be an electrical cross fire issue. Have the compression tested to make sure the timing chain is not the issue. If the compression tests good, all the valves and the timing is working. Recommend you look at the spark plug wiring and replace if wet or damaged.

Follow the spark plug wires back from the spark plug to the opposite end of the wire.

I have know by experience that if you cross plug wires you can get an engine extremely hot ive seen it also seen it hot enough to get the exhaust manifolds glowing red if they havent put their hands in it and corrected the problem i would check the firing order to make sure it was correct and that they didnt cross the plug wires.

Hello,

You will have to remove the intake assembly to be able to remove the spark plug. You can also go about it from the ignition coil. To replace the spark plug, please follow the steps below to do so. You will be needing these instruments: Phillips screwdriver, Socket wrench, Spark plug socket, Anti-seize compound, Dielectric compound, Small screwdriver, then follow the steps:

1. Disconnect the car's negative battery cable at a time when the engine is cool.
2. Unscrew the individual ignition coil using a screwdriver and then remove the coil and set it aside.
3. Pull out the spark plug wire at the plug end, grasping it by the boot and twisting it out; a special tool for this is available. Disconnect the same wire at the ignition coil.
4. Clean out the spark plug's hole, using compressed air to blow out all dust, dirt and debris from inside.
5. Remove the spark plug from the engine using a socket wrench with a spark plug socket; turn the plug counterclockwise to remove it.
6. Apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to the threads of the replacement spark plug. Make sure you get no compound on the plug's electrodes.
7. Thread the spark plug into its hole, making sure you don't cross-thread it, and then tighten it with the wrench and spark plug socket.
8. Coat the insides of the spark plug boots with dielectric compound; use a small screwdriver to apply the compound.
9. Install the ignition coil and screw it into place.
10. Repeat the above steps for each spark plug/wire that needs changing and installation.
11. Reconnect the negative battery cable once you've installed all necessary plus and wires

Hope this helped. Thank You for using FixYa!!!

with all due respect, if u need an image to locate spark plugs then you really shouldnt be working under the bonnet of ur car. if u snap a spark plug or cross thread it when replacing them, your in for mega money putting it right. however if u insist, remove the plastic cover off the top of ur engine and look for 4 black rubber leads, pull these out and the spark plugs are underneath.

Here is the firing order diagram for that vehicle, and if the ignition wires are not crossed then one of the spark plugs might have been damaged while installing it and the spark plug gap closed on one of the spark plugs, or one of the ignition wires (spark plug wires) has been damaged, and if those wires are over 5 years old then you should replace them. I hope that this helps you to solve your problem.

its a fuse well its blown its a 30 you will see it when you open the box of fuses under the hood but there must be a wire crossed to blow the fuse

this is relatively easy i will suggest that you get a sparkplug socket with a swivel head this will keep you from breaking off the plugs in the head. to remove the plugs turn counter clockwise i will also suggest that you take them out 1 at a time and replace them the same way unless your sure as to what the firing order is. start all plugs by hand first to insure that they wont be cross threaded then tighten them down to a snug fit usually a 1/4 turn after they seat. hope this helps you.

it cant be cross fire it is misfire, cross fire ocurs in engines that use a distributor, the code is from one or more cylinders misfiring check for a bad set of cables or a faulty spark plug or coil
