Locate the 6 black plastic coil packs on the cam/valve covers (3 per side). Unplug the wire connector to each. Remove the 2 screws on each. With a twisting/pulling motion pull out each coil pack. The coil pack is attached to a long black rubber/plastic tube with a grommet at the top. They may pull out in one pc or may seperate which is ok because the coil and tube snap back together. If you cant get the tube out you will need a set of picks to fish it out (harbor freight tools or the likes). The spark plugs are WAY down in the towers. About 6 inches. You will need a spark plug socket, a socket extention and a swivel/universal. The only coil that is different (smaller) is the rear right by the brake booster. It's smaller so you can get it in/out in the tight alloted space. Be sure to use that coil only in that spot. Oh.. and most importantly.. USE ONLY DENSO SPARK PLUGS! denso K16PR-P11 to be exact. Any other spark plugs WILL cause problems on the 2000+ 3.2/3.5L down the road. Search and see for yourself.
