where are the sparkplugs in SC400 located?
I got some NGK iridiums the other day and Ive been searching my engine for the sparkplugs and i cant find them. Where would they be located? I have a 93" SC4. Thanks in advance!

From what I understand from my mechanic/dealer, the spark plugs/wires on these cars cannot be accessed directly, i.e.) you can't actually see them or work with them from the front. You have to take the entire top part off...the bit that says traction control yada yada (on mine atleast). He said it was a good 2-3 hour job in terms of labor 
At dealership prices you're looking at a cool $300-400 for parts and labor

it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to be able to physically see the plugs and your timing belt...just take off the black cover that says V8 on it and you will see everything...

I agree with CEO closer to 5 minutes. Example on drivers side. Unscrew the plastic cover that says "TOYOTA 16 valve" or whatever it says take it off and voilla plugs.
On the other side take off the intake tube first and do the same thing it really is that easy.
