It's probably about time to change the spark plugs on my 2001 Mustang
with the 3.8L V6.

I can see the spark plugs on the drivers side and they look to be fairly
accessible.  But I can't even see where the plugs are on the passenger
side due.  What does a person have to do to access the plugs on the
passenger side?  Is the access any easier from underneath the car?

Thanks!

The easy way is to take it to the dealer and say - 'Tune-up, please'.

Thanks.  I know the dealer would love to have the better part of a $100
bill for a tune-up and there are other places that do tune-ups, but I
was looking for more information about doing it myself.

Follow the ignition wires.

I forgot how they routed the air intake, but you probably have to
remove part of that. I always did on my 5.0, made it a lot easier.
on the smaller 6 it should be pretty easy. (much easier than on a
front wheel drive car !)
