The intake manifold has to be removed to replace gaskets are you sure you want to do this? If they are not leaking don't bother. It gets pretty lengthy for us to try to send. You can rent the manual from our site. Look under how to repair manuals. We dont' have anything on how to replace spark plugs and for coil wires do one at a time firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 see pic for cylinder id.

Have it checked for a blown head gasket or maybe rings, these engines are known to drop the valve seats out of cyl head then damage the pistons. They are not a very good engine. So have a pro do a compression check. Smoke coming out the breathe is normal somewhat but it could be your pcv system is plugged as well or other internal damage.
