spark plugs
I have been noticing for a while, that when I leave for school, the speed limit is 15 mph (school zone) in which I follow..I dont really have to accelerate much, my car stays at 15..but it vibrates and is shakey, it revs up a little bit, then feels like its going to die, and then revs back up again...we put one of those bottle fuel injection cleaners in, didnt help, now we think it needs spark plugs, and a tune up, from the looks of it, the plugs arent the easiest things to get to, whats the easiest way to get to them? and what are the best plugs to go with?
thanks for the input.

Could be a number of things. When was the last time they were changed? Be glad you don't have a 3.8...very hard to get the spark plugs out of. Grab a repair manual or maybe someone here can help. Bump...
As for spark plugs, you can't go wrong with some stock Delco platinums and they should last you a while. I think they also make Rapidfires in platinum . I use iridium but only because I spray...too expensive for just regular use though.

Yea, sounds like it could possibly be your plugs. Mine was doin the same sorta thing...almost stalling in low rpms. I took mine into a shop because of a lack of time and it cost almost 5 bills (can $). The plugs they used weren't all that great and i got the AC delco's put back in after that. There working good so far.
Importkiller...your definetly right about the 3.8's being hard to change the plugs!! But look on the bright side, at least its not a 5.7

I'd rather work on a 5.7...easier IMO.
$500 for a spark plug change? I hope they used a lot of KY for that price.
