ok so after the hurricane ive been having a misfire in cylinder 6. so im just replacing the ignition system to be safe. (coil pack, plugs and wires) however not only are the plugs difficult to remove, the passenger side (1 3 5) are damn near impossible to access. advice to loosen and access said cylinders would be so amazing. thanks in advance dudes and dudetts. 🤘❤

Got a 07. Done them couple of times. U can go thru the inner fender on passenger side to get no.5 but you have to take all that out. Pain in the ass there too. I do mine through the top. Pop air box hose and bungee it back out of the way. Small extension will get 1and 3 pretty easy then. I crawl all the way up in the engine bay to get no. 5. Very short extension for it. Take your time with it. It can be done. U will be bleeding by then. At that point stop and have a beer 🍺 or 2. When u do the wires for that side pop your old wires loose one at a time and duct tape the new one to the old one. Pull the old one out the passenger side which will pull your new one right into the place it needs to be. If u pull all 3 out and then try to fish them through then if your not a cussing man I assure u u will be. It can be done just take your time

Others have already addressed your specific issue, I'm just jumping in the bemoan how difficult it can be to access commonly changed parts.

I used to have a 1995 TransAm with the LT1. Added a blower and stroked it to a 383. Fun car, and if you squinted you could pretend it had a backseat, at least for small people. But I kid you not. The GM instructions for changing the spark plugs suggest removing the engine. To change spark plugs.

The pass side for the 3.8 is a bit of a pain, but still vastly easier than the 3.6 where you have to take the top of the engine off to change the plugs. In general, working on the 3.8 is so much easier than the 3.6.
