love the car the coil pack was just replaced. do to miss fire and ate up my plugs in the process. How hard is it to replace the back three plugs. So far its a pain to reach the wires in the back. It is a good call to do the plugs and wires so far the front three were tosted same way as the two wires. the chevy dealer should have replaced the wires and plugs as well as the coil pack for it. please send some good info thanks

 

Idk if it's the same as the 3.8

But if you undo the dog bone(s) you should be able to rock the engine forward and make it easier to reach the back.

 

arnt the the top engin mounts take them off and the engine can be rocked forward? first monte carlo that i have ever owend that it is a front wheel drive and it is still a little new so thanks for the hint.

 

sometimes if you find yourself needing the rock the engine to work on it a lot, you can buy a dog-bone replacement where you use a socket and it pulls the engine forward, then you can release it back to original position.

I forget what they're called though i've seen them.

 

what i have noticed with the botom end of the 3.5 and the 3.8 they are simular in the parts used from the 3.8 to the 3.5 but some change fun car when it runs good but these minor hiccups are anoying

 

quick question how would i role the motor forward by my self i dont have many friends that are mechaniculy inclinde

 

some people use a strong tree, tie it to the engine at it's designated pull point and just rock the car a little then throw the e-brake on.

 

found out that the coil pack bracket was in the way. also borowed my neighbors cherie picker to move yhe motor a little forward about three inches. doing those two helped out alot thank you for the help. it means alot to me every little helps to keep our cars rolling. i.e. hint ways to help each outher out on ways to fix them with out hurting our selfs and beating our montys to a pile when we get mad thank you for the help it means alot thank you and the people who made this forum
