I went to change the spark plugs on my V6 91'. I'm confused though because there are only four spark plugs. What's the problem here?

I know two of them are pita to get to on the passenger side, but they are their.

If you truely do only have 4 plugs in it, thats got to be running like major A$$

You have to stop picking on those ricers. One of them got mad at you and took two of your plugs so your car would be as slow as theirs.

Your missing two plugs are probably below the EGR setup. Its a mess under there.

To find all your plugs, simply take each wire on the distributor and trace it back to each plug. Start with 6 plugs, trace each wire back one at a time. When your done all should be changed.

I've accidentaly left 3 of my wires off before. My g/f called me during my plug swap and I didnt finish putting my wires back on, LOL. The motor ran real rough but sounded soo bad azz. It's a lovely roaring sound to hear. But it scared the pants off me until I figured out what was wrong.

Ha ha... Yeah, it started fine, all I heard from the engine was a tick tick tick..like a tapping noise...was coming from the valve cover region...I freaked after hearing that, thinking busted rocker arm or something... Then I listened to the exhaust, and it sounded like it had a cam in it. Revved it up a tad and it backfired and missed all over the place and I found out what it was then.....
