I had to work on a 99 oldsmobile silhouette (GM minivan) in order to change the rear bank of spark plugs you need to remove 2 engine mounts and ratchet strap the engine to tilt it forward. On a 04 Ford windstar you need to drive it on ramps and use swivels and extensions to access the rear bank's spark plugs....... from underneath...... between the chassis and exhaust >=/ On a 2000 v6 Frontier, the intake plenum goes over the driver's side, and there is very little clearance between the plenum and the firewall to fit a ratchet in there with an extension blindly...... the #6 spark plug is a pita! In all honesty, if the Z didn't have the turbos buried in the deepest depths of hell ...and a goofy upper plenum, it would actually be one of the easiest cars to work on. (not taking into account the dodgy aging factory wiring harnesses)
*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :) "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
