SOURCE: Is it hard to change the spark plugs on my 02

the front ones are easy , but the ones by the firewall are hard to get to , i always remove the engine stabalizer bars attached to the radiator brace and use a cumalong to pull engine forward , it is alot easier that way

A code “multiple misfire” may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

•Faulty spark plugs or wires
•Faulty coil (pack)
•Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
•Faulty fuel injector(s)
•Burned exhaust valve
•Faulty catalytic converter(s)
•Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
•Faulty camshaft position sensor
•Defective computer

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix won't fire at plugs or distributed cap

My info doesn't show a distributor on this vehicle, it shows a coil pack. I guess I can't help you?
Usually if no spark at the spark plugs, I also check for fuel injector pulse. If you have neither one, I check for rpm signal and or security system issue.

How to change back spark plug on 3.1

I used to have a Pontiac in which I had to pull the front tire off and then get to the plugs by going over the A frame. Doesn't mean it will work on your Grand Prix but you might try it.

Spark plugs

you can use a 3 nch extension and a universal joint attachment to reach these. It is still a little tricky but it will work.
