    Hey everyone I'm pretty new here just signed up because I had a question but I see alot more to these cars than I thought. I have an 1989 Grand Prix 3.1 V6 Non Turbo with 82,XXX. I now have 89XXX and, I'm just getting around to doing the maintenance on it. I did the basic winter weather tune-up stuff and I am to the Plugs and Wires.

    My Problem is that I need to get to the back 3 Plugs and can't seem to get there. I tried to take out the alternator but there is a bolt on the underside rear that I can't get to. Is there other way to get the job done? I was talking to my brother who said that some sideways V6 engines in the late 80's to early 90's that have to have the engine taken out to change the plugs.

    If anyone could help, I'd be greatly appreciate it.

    Welcome to the community.

    If you post up your question in the 3.1L engine area, Im sure you will get plenty of help there.
