Hello,

Some are under the ignition coil and others have spark plug wires going to them. Here is a guide and the firing order and plug wire locations for you car below. I included all engine options.

Spray lune around base of plug thread, let sit for a few hrs, slowly work plug back in and out to break up any carbon or rust, add plenty of lube spray.

I get them from under the vehicle, but I have a rack to raise the vehicle. If you have ramps or can safely lift the front of the vehicle, try that.
