Have you change out your fuel filter at 30,000 mile's? How many mile's on your car? The original plug's are designed to run up to 100,000 mile's thank's to Iridum. You could replace them w/ the OEM plug. What ever you replace them with I'd run Iridum style plug. The gap should say on the sticker under your hood.

No, it's not in the tank; it's in front of it.

/\ there is the how to change, not hard but can be a little tricky the first time you do it. Brand new fuel filter is somewhere less than $12 where as if you pay to have it done it'll cost $100-ish. If you have Advance Auto's near you, use "P20" at check out (online) to save 20%(buy online, pick up at store)

Assuming nothing has fouled them. Never hurts to pull them out and look at them.

Even after you de-pressurize the fuel system (per the directions above), you will still get some gas that will leak out. So just make sure you are in a well ventilated space with no open flames or sparks!
The tricky part of the process is removing the filter and hoses going into it, its just a tight spot so have some patience. Also, some fuel filters do not come with extra plastic clasps to hold them on, so just be sure you don’t lose or break those little things. I do mine in two processes, remove the filter and let the extra gas drain and then after the little bit of spilled gas is cleaned up/done dripping go back and reinstall. I just do that to let the fumes dissipate some before installing the new one.
