What?? If he can't change spark plugs in less than an hour then he needs SERIOUS help... But he NEEDS more than just the plugs/wires changed. And what needs done will DEFINATELY take more than an hour.

ok....from this statement, i can tell that you don't have a 3G v6. to replace the spark plugs on the 3G v6, you have to remove the intake manifold. even the most knowledgable mechanics take more than an hour.

here is the how-to on how to do it. http://66.29.101.66/~c3g/forum/showthread.php?t=455

yes it is a pain in the ***** for only 3 plugs

I could replace the spark plugs in less than 45 minutes

(due to repetition) What i actually HATE doing is the dang distributor cap and rotor. It looks completely accessable from the top- but trust me, you'll absolutely NEED to remove the battery and tray to pull it out. As for fuel filter- it is in the tank and doesn't have a scheduled maintenance as far as i know. Be sure to use the factory platinum or iridium tipped plugs. Good LUck!
