I'm just starting to learn how to maintain my car. It is a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera, it has the Generation II 3.1L V6. For a while it was having problems making it up hills and accelerating at low speeds, but now it won't start (it won't even go rrr... rrr... and the lights don't come on).
There are probably other things wrong with the car, but I want to change the spark plugs (and probably battery). But I don't know where I can find a diagram of the engine. I don't know where the spark plugs are to replace. In the back of the engine (close to the cab) there are 6 heavy gauge wires that connect to terminals, but nothing in that area enters the engine. Out of the six wires that leave, I can follow three, and they go into the engine block, but don't seem like they are susceptible to pulling or unscrewing.
What would help me the most would be a diagram, but if a HowTo exists, that would also be useful.
Thank you for your time.
