i can't find my spark plugs.
 
i've never done this before.... trying to change my plugs on a 99 DX. i dont know what i'm looking for. i thought i did, but everything looks the same in there. anyone have a pic of where the plugs are?

this is dumb i know. trying to learn as i go.

dont worry. im 16 but i know some about cars from eirlier engine rebuilds

i own a 99 dx 1.6l dohc. what is your motor type??
is it a 1.8???

if it is a 1.6l it should be right on top of the cam head. 4 of them wired up. dont take the caps out unless you number them 1-4. if you take the one farthest left on your motor # it 1. it will be very helpful when putting new plugs in and putting the caps back on.
