How do you change the plugs on a 2000 4 cylinder Grand Am?

Answer 1

OK- look at the engine block. On top, there's a panel, the IDS module, that runs lengthwise across the middle of the block. It has 4 bolts that you need to take out. Once you have them out, you'll probably need to disconnect the electrical connector at the end of the IDS module to be able to lift it all the way up. To get to the spark plugs, lift the IDS module off the block. You'll have to use a little elbow grease as the connectors for the spark plugs are connected to this module and they have to come off the plugs before you can completely lift the module up. But once you get it off, look down into the h oles about where the bolts would have been, and wah-lah, there's your plugs. Make sure you have a ong enough etension for the rachet lol I had all that crap moved and went to take the plugs out and didn't have a long enough extension... talk about frustrating!
