Default Stratus Spark Plugs

Hey folks!

I am wanting to change the spark plugs in a 2001 Stratus Coupe V6. I found three of the six plugs on the front of the engine. Looking at the spark pugs wires, it looks like the other three plugs are under a metal plate on top of the engine. Is this a pain to remove yourself or are those three other plugs somewhere else on the engine? It looks like this might be a job for the dealer but I cannot afford to have them do it. The car is running kinda crappy and it has almost 90,000 miles on it so it seems like a good time to change the plugs. Thank for your help.

Coupe right? The metal plate is the intake runners. I took me 3 hours to do mine, change the wires at the same time.

Yes the intake manifold needs to be removed to change the 3 rear plugs, a fairly large job.

The intake manifold needs to be removed to change spark plugs? Chrysler "engineers" never cease to amaze me...
