Trying to help an older lady by tuning up her van, and I'm not sure how to get to the back three spark plugs. I can't see them from underneath and going over the top of the engine is difficult. It's a 1993 Dodge Caravan 3.3 L V-6.
Thanks for any advice

 

I think you have to remove the windshield wiper assy to see the spark plugs on those minivan.

 

not even close. on gen2 minivans. only gen3 and 4 would you be able to remove a wiper module. old vans have no such item.

on a 1990-1995 caravan with 3.3/3.8 there are a couple options to access rear plugs.
1. Underneath is very common in shops with a hoist.
2. some have been able to acces #3 and #5 from the driver side reaching around back (tight but do-able) then to get at #1 move alternator by removing top bolt and pushing back to firewall. still tight but do able.
3. what I do is take 15min to remove upper intake plenumn. replacement gasket it under $3 at autozone. plugs are super easy to get at.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

The last time I replaced my rear spark plug on my 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3.3 engine, I drove the front of the van onto ramps. I was able to access the three plugs from under the vehicle.

 

Just did a full plug and sensor change on a 2003 3.8 dodge grand caravan.


Do yourself a favor and take out the wiper tub to get the back 3 plugs. It makes the process much easier without losing skin.


All I needed was a 3/8 ratchet 3 " extension and plug socket after the tub was out.

 

The method going from under doesn't work on some of the engines because it's too narrow..

Take the wiper tray off and you might have to move the alternator to get to one of the back ones.. It sucks but it's the only way..
