Changing Spark Plugs

I have a 2000 gpgt 3.8 do you remove the front mptor mounts to get to the rear spark plugs?

FYI,

I would suggest going to your local Auto Zone to purchase a Haynes manual for your vehicle. They cost less than $15 bucks I believe. The Haynes manual is very beneficial. It contain step by step instructions and photos on how to make many repairs. Or you can just review the manual to see how the repair should be made. On my 1996 Grand Prix (3.1L) I had to disconnect the upper motor mounts and afterwards, insert one of the mounting bolts in the support brackets so I could rotate the engine forward after putting the transmission in neutral. Also, had to disconnect air filter housing or whatever it's referred to as from the throttle body prior to rotating the engine. I'm not sure if the 3.8 has the same setup. I had to put a couple of pieces of two-by-four behind my engine to keep it rotated while I removed the plugs. I'm a amateur but I got the job done. Saved myself over $100 by not taking to local ripoff shop. Hope this helps! Take Care!

When i press the gas all the way down it takes off very slowly.....

Does it feel like you are in a higher gear during take off? What other symptoms? Any SES/CEL light? Check the TCC fuse to make sure it is not blown.

yeah it feels exactly like you say, like on a higher shift, also has trouble starting up like gas has trouble going through, only the rpm goes up

do you think its the spark splugs, cuz if it was the fuel pump it wouldnt start up at all. right ???? it would try but it wouldnt catch the gas . right ???

It depends because the fuel pressure may be low. To rule out the fuel pump and associated components like the relays and fuel filter you'll need to check fuel pressure at the fuel injector rail to see if it is in specs. 48-55 psi.

In neutral and when you do get the engine started how it it? Is the idle good and when revving do you feel any misfiring?

i am more than sure it is the fuel pump, cuz when i finally get the car started, it smells alot like gasoline, and its loosing powere more often, today it finally turned on, but then turnd off again and did not turn on anymore. im certain its the fuel pump now, took it in, lol, but thanks anyways for your advise BNaylor !!!! cool

do you know wat part i can replace or upgrade, so it can do like lets say 0-60 in like 5 secs ??, also so it can give a better performance....

or any recommended high performance parts at all ??

is it possiblwe to cut a curve off from the springs in order to drop it ?

check www.zzperformance.com for performamce parts. they have a few for the NA 3800

got it fixed already, fuckin fuel pump was worn out already, gtp is supercharging at its fullest once again.......thanks alot everybody
