Car Ownership
Buying, selling, financing, insurance and service issues
Seems like the right forum, but?
My 1998 Pontiac Transport has 103,000 miles on it and I think it deserves new plugs and plug wires. It is a $240 job for a mechanic and since I can buy the plugs and wires for $75, I thought I would try a DIY project.
Any tips on how to get to the back plugs? I have heard that the front upper engine mounts can be removed and the engine rotated some to allow access to the rear plugs. The only service manual I have located so far is the $15 Chilton, which is worth about $1. I have been told that the Haynes manual is much better, but I haven`t been able to locate one locally. If I order one from the internet and it is no better than the Chilton, then I will have thrown away another $15-$20. I would rather pay the mechanic than accumulate a library of somewhat useless information.
Any suggestions?
Anyone have an opinion on the Haynes manual?
