I sure hope that is better than my old 3.2 1997 Grand Caravan AWD. I actually traded it because of spark plugs. From the dealer the estimate was $450.00 to change plugs. The top of the motor had to be removed. Loved to have slapped the designer of that beast.

I have a 1990 Grand Prix with a 3.1 V6 and was checking it out today I just got it this summer and have not really looked at it. I baught it for $400.00 I was going to get it ready for winter so My wife could drive it on days that the road is wet and salty in order to try to save the body on the 96 Grand AM as much as possible. Looking at the back side of the engine, it is so close to the fire wall that I can't seem to get my hands back in there to get at the plugs. Do I really have to pop the motor mounts and jack the darnd thing to get at the back 3 plugs? Or is there another option. I think if I could find a 6 year old Mechanical genius that could get his little hands back there I would have it made. On the other hand since it seems to be running well enough I will probably just leave it alone but on the other hand, if I do have to deal with this problem either with this car or another in the future it would be good information to have stuffed up in my brain pan.for later retrieval Robert To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the Blind Computing list, then visit the following address for more information: http://jaws-users.com/mailman/listinfo/blind-computing_jaws-users.com For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
