I purchased the Bush Platinum spark plugs and cables. Total cost: about $115.00. The work took about 4-5 hours; I did not want to rush this at all! � Here is what we did: 1. Remove Air intake (this is easy to say... but just take your time, it is not impossible to get the job done). 2. Loosen the V3000 (LS) air cover, just undo the screws the hold that part. 3. Number your old spark plug cables so you know where they go. 4. Replace ONE spark plug at a time and change the old cable for a new cable of the same length (mark the new cable with the same number of your old cable in case you loose track later). 5. Place the V3000 (LS) back in place, do not over-tighten the screws! 6. Place back into place the Air filter tube; make all the connection previously removed and you should be finish.
Take your time and do not rush this work - if needed take some pictures with your digital camara to remember where things go.
On a difficulty scale of 1 to 5, I give this work a 3
AA

The above post really does you no good. Though pictures are there, they do not reflect a 1995, which is a bit more complicated. I'm doing a search myself at the moment. There aren't many answers here.
check out this site.. it worked for my 96. perhaps it'll help you http://www.monterosportonline.com/diy.html
Replacing spark plugs is pretty simple. Disconnect the battery, remove the cover and cables, remove the old spark plugs, put in the new spark plugs, put the cover and wires back on the spark plugs, and reconnect the battery.
Disconnect the battery cables, remove the spark plug cables and covers, and remove the old spark plugs. Next, put in the new spark plugs, attach the covers and spark plug cables and reconnect the battery cables.
It is a lengthy process that can be found at http://www.monterosportonline.com/diy-perf2.HTML. you have remove the intake manifold in order to replace the spark plugs or the spark plug wires. It's not a recommended task for unexperianced person.
THE INTAKE MANIFOLD MUST BE REMOVED. I WAS QUOTED > $600 TO CHANGE PLUGS. I SOLD MINE, AS IT WAS TIME FOR A TIMING BELT AS WELL. ANOTHER $600.

THe spark plugs are buried! IT is one of the frustrating designs of this car! It takes a couple of hours for a trained mechanic to do the work and even longer for the untrained. If you have the work done, get the best, most expensive spark plugs to replace them with. I wnt 60K on my first set and am 30K into my second set.
95 montero takes 6 plugs
All depends on what kind of spark plugs you have. It could either be 30,000 miles or 150,000 miles.
The plugs are located under the intake plenum. This is a real job because it takes removing several bolts, wires and gaskets to get to them.
We have a 1995 Mitsubishi Montero (the people that brought your the fighter ZERO) and when it came time for a tune-up we couldn't get the plugs out. The car dealer here charged us over 500 dollars for a tune up and they had to remove the top part of the engine to reach the plugs, hence the large dollar value. We will NEVER own another Mitsubishi again! Good luck:)
If you dont know how to replace spark plugs I recomend you go to someone that does and have him show you because you might do more bad then good trying to change them for the first time.
2002 galant , can't find the spark plugs
