We have a 1995 Mitsubishi Montero (the people that brought your the fighter ZERO) and when it came time for a tune-up we couldn't get the plugs out. The car dealer here charged us over 500 dollars for a tune up and they had to remove the top part of the engine to reach the plugs, hence the large dollar value. We will NEVER own another Mitsubishi again! Good luck:)

2002 galant , can't find the spark plugs
THe spark plugs are buried! IT is one of the frustrating designs of this car! It takes a couple of hours for a trained mechanic to do the work and even longer for the untrained. If you have the work done, get the best, most expensive spark plugs to replace them with. I wnt 60K on my first set and am 30K into my second set.

I took mine to Tune-Up Masters and I was charged 159.99 because of the extra labor they had to do. On Montero Sports they have to remove the air intake to reach the other spark plugs.
