On DOHC motor you have to take the intake off to change the spark plugs. You don't have to replace the gasket unless it brakes on you.

have you checked what the engine light is on for?
here is a link to check the codes:

You might be either not getting fuel or spark. Will it stay running when it reaches operating temp?

check the computer for blown caps, should be located behind the radio if i remember right. Also try the voltmeter trick to check the codes.
