this might sound like a stupid question...
can anyone tell me where i can find my spark plugs? i have a 2001 alero,
and i went to change the spark plugs this weekend, and i couldn't find
them...granted i didn't unscrew anything to look, cause i had other things
to do...but ya, if anyone could lend me a hand, i'd really appreciate it!
thanks!

Are you serious? Why would you attempt changing sparks when you don't know
where they are.
There's a lot more to changing them, than just finding them.
You can damage the engine if you change them hot for example, or you'll get
an awful gas mileage if you gap them improperly.
I'd let a professional do it if you car has a V6. Otherwise it should be
simple, and plugs should be right in front of your block.

Actually if he has the 4 cylinder, the plugs are hidden under the ribbed
aluminum engine cover that says 2.4 twin cam or whatever. You have to
remove the bolts holding this on and pry it off since the plug
connections (no discrete wires)are part of it.
