Thoughts and my $.02 on changing spark plugs and wires
While I was fixing a miss-fire issue this weekend, I took a second look at changing the plugs and wires on these cars. It is easy, so easy, in fact I'm a fool for paying to have it done a few years ago.
I was able to fit my hand all the way back towards the 5 and 6 cylinders, to remove the plugs and boots, as well as removing the wire boots from the 1 and 4 cylinder ignition coil nipples.
I don't see the need to remove heat shields, or even get at the car from below.
I've posted a YouTube video with some how-to tips and thoughts. If anyone needs help or has questions, I'd be glad to give some feedback. Bottom line, it looks and seems like it could be a nightmare of a job, but in fact it's super easy.

The 2001+ 3.8L engines had really nice manifolds that made changing the plugs easy. The book time is actually alot less for labor in changing the plugs than it is for the 95-2000.
Also I love the minifig avatar! I collect Lego and still have all my Legos from when I was a kid!
