ok i have a problem with my 96 i got the front three plugs taken out and changed to stop a misfiring prob. but i want to change the back three but how in the world do you get to them with out taking out the motor if possible...the alternators like right on top of where i have to go and the plugs and down by the headers...help me please??

I have a 94 Buick Century that I just changed the plugs on.


I needed a elbow connection and extensions for my rachet just to get in those hard to get to areas.


Hope that helps

i tried that but the alternator is sitting on top of what i think is the only room for any kind of kink ratchet or elbow extension and the only thing i could do to even get my hand on a spark wire was to go from the side and under the sensor wires next to the alternator...i think something has to come out either siring or the alternatorsmileys/smiley7.gif

your engine is different than mine


alternaters aren't very troublesome to remove. Just loosen the belt at the belt tensioner. Couple of long bolts hold the alternater in place.

I work on Buicks everyday at work and I know that some of the plugs can be hard to get to. I am prety sure that on your car I would just reach down behind the engine and get the plugs out. Somtimes the hardest part is getting the wires to come off because they get stuck on. I use about a 6 inch extention and a flex head ratchet. It might help you to remove the coils and ignition module.

ill try that and ill just remove the wiring behind the motor and ill use the 6 inch extension and if that doesnt get it then i give up
