Is there any place online to see how to change spark plugs on a 1985 calais?

if this is a 1985 Olds calais with a 2.3 L quad motor in it ... the plugs are under the large aluminum cover on top of the engine.. The bolts that hold it down are 13 mm and then you have to unhook the wiring loom on the driver's side of engine to remove the coil housing and then the plugs are in the middle deep in holes...



If you are having a bad misfire ,chances are that the plastic coil contact housing is bad...this is very common on this engine.. I recommend replacing the plugs ,all four boots and the coil housing if you can see burned spots on it..

The coils are housed inside the contact housing...







Hope this helps.

By the way if this is the 2.5 ohv engine the plugs are right there and just follow the wires to the plugs .. replace one plug at a time and you should be fine....but I would imagine that you are having trouble finding the plugs and that would be the 2.3 Quad engine...good luckIs there any place online to see how to change spark plugs on a 1985 calais?
