This IS NOT a job you want to attempt...in fact most mechanics would probably look at this and say ARG!

do yourself a favor and contact a local shop to price it out..and then save for it....I know that $ is an issue for you ...but this is way over your head.... it involves more than just spark plugs.

You will need to remove the upper intake manifold to gain access to them. This is probably not a job for the novice.
