How do I change the spark plugs in my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am?

How do I change my plugs? I don't even see any plugs...do I have to remove a cover or something?How do I change the spark plugs in my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am?
Go to the library and get a Chilton book on that make and model of car. Make a copy of the page that shows you how to change the spark plugs. Spark plugs are usually precalibrated but it is a good idea to check them. You need a calibration tool and you can ask the parts man how to use it or they might even check the calibration for you. Again make sure you have the make and model of the vehicle and how many cylinders it is. Usually 4.6.or 8.When you change the plugs and don't forget the plug wires . Do the plugs and wires one at a time because there is a firing order and if you put the wrong wire on the wrong plug it will not start . So remember one plug and one wire at a time.You also need a plug socket and ratchet.How do I change the spark plugs in my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am?
Well I would say go to the dealer--the plugs are special long lasting ones that are under a decorative trim plate---with the plugs ,the wires also should be done and a computer diagnostic to set the timing if needed...sensors are often needed--stuff you can't do in the driveway. Save up and have the belt done--do everything at once and save the money that running back would cost...besides that, the work is warranted at the dealer--you screw it up and you pay...again !!
follow the wires to the plug....they might very hard to get 2 but you will find them, you do not need to take it to a dealer, they are just ******* spark plugs on a grand am.....find them and change them...you can buy the same plugs and an auto store.....it will be fine that guy does not kno what he is talking about....
Well, you should start by getting your hands on a Chilton's or Hane's book for your car. I would imagine you have a transverse mounted V6, with 3 spark plugs on the front of the engine and 3 on the back. Your owners manual (if you don't have the Chiltons) will tell you what plugs you need, or the person at the parts counter can help you.



Just follow the plug wires to each spark plug, pull the wire off the top of the plug. Slide your socket down over the plug and remove it the same way you would remove a bolt. After checking the new plug for the correct gap, insert it into the hole (use your fingers at first to prevent cross-threading) and tighten it with the socket. Do them one at a time to prevent connecting your wires to the wrong plug.



The back ones will be trickier to get to, and you may end up taking it to a shop where someone with the right tools can do the job faster and easier than you can.



Best of luck!
