Hey, I'm very happy to have found a forum about my car. I had a question, it's time i changed the spark plugs but after looking at my car's engine, the rear 3 are going to be a pain in the ass. Any ideas on how I am going to go about doing it. I have fairly good automotive knowledge, plenty of tools. The dealership here charges 330, but I know a friend there who can do it for 250. Which I think is still alot of money.
Thank You.

Hi ,
Just did my '95 LS about a month ago. Dealer and everyone else wanted over $400. I bought the NGK plugs ($18 each x6), You should go ahead and change the Wires while you are doing the plugs ($75), trust me. It is possible, just a pain because you have to remove the intake manifold to get to the back 3 plugs and wires. There are 3 or 4 screws in front of the manifold and 2 or 3 in back. There is also some type of air intake or so in back that has to be removed, sort of a pain but with patience can be removed. I took my time, about 4 hours start to finish. Car runs great now. Should not have to do again for another 50,000 miles or so.
Go for it!
