hmm I think you need to take out engine cover. if you have correct tools, it should be easy. I remember I had hard to change the one on the way back of left. but you can do it good luck.

bigmonkey....You have to remove the throttle body,cables and vacuum lines to access the plugs. Its a job you could do yourself if you have a good set of tools and mark all of the lines before you remove them. You might want to look into a service manual. Good Luck.
