Default spark plug questions/SES code

1)Could a misfire/bad plugs cause a SES code?

2)I have changed plugs on older model cars and stuff but it looks a bit more difficult to change these on my own? Is it a really hard job to tackle? What tools do I need to make it the easiest job possible? By the way this is an A4 99 TA.

Thanks for any input guys.

Yes, a misfire (from a bad plug) could set an SES light.

The plugs look daunting at first but it's not too bad! Checkout www.installuniversity.com for instructions.

On a '99, #8 is best gotten from the top. Take your time, get the AIR stuff, EGR out of the way and you'll be fine!
