Every gas burning internal combustion engine has spark plugs. Diesel engines do not. Your Impala is not a diesel, so it has plugs.

Spark plugs and wires
Remove the spark plug wires from your 2000 Chevy Impala spark plugs. Remove the spark plugs with a 5/8 deep well socket by turning the socket to the left. Reverse the process to install the new spark plugs.

All 2001 Chevy Impala's have a V6. Either the 3.4 or the 3.8. They all have 6 spark plugs.All 2001 Chevy Impala's have a V6. Either the 3.4 or the 3.8. They all have 6 spark plugs.
I recommend AC Delco which is the same as was put in it at the factory. You will get longer life and better performance.

It is my experience as a shop owner for 22+ years that what the car maker used was the BEST replacement. All plugs nor parts are created equal. You should get 100,000 miles out of the AC Delco plugs and with no driveability problems.
