I have a 2000 Monte Carlo Pace Car with a 3800 (3.8) SFI turbocharged V6 engine and automatic transmission.
Please tell me the best procedure for changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires.
Thank you!

Well first find the coil pack, it is either on a braket on top of the engine or on the side of the engine, follow the a spark plug wire to it. Now remove one wire and that plug then replace that wire and plug. If you do this one at a time then you don't need to remember the firing order. Here is the firing order for the 3.0 ltr. Now if you include a pic of the top side of the engine I will see if there is anything else to remove to gain access. Here is the firing order.
