FIRST OF ALL... If you just flat out don't have one, then say so. Cuz otherwise you look like all the other lemmings on this website who are just to damn lazy to look it up and just come on here looking for the answer. Its 13 ft-lbs for the plugs, and no specified torque on the grounding nuts.
Second of all, go get a manual.

I don't think the manual gives torque specs, so maybe you need to read the f'in manual boilermaker! Anyways, Just screw the sparks plus in so they are tight, then turn another 1/8 turn, as for the nuts on top of the coils, just tighten them so they are tight, but dont strip the threads, its not that crucial to be torqued, unlike other areas of the car...

Hey smartass, you might want to open your manual to page 228 before you start shooting ****. The manual has a full DIY, including the torque spec in metric and english, on changing the plugs and it even has PICTURES.


He's upset because Purdue sucks
Purdue 72
Minnesota 65

3-1 in the Big Ten... not quite sure that qualifies as sucking.

Why should I assume you have one???? Ummmm because every car comes with one. The dealer just kinda gives it to you when you buy it.
