I don't think you can change the spark plugs without removing the intake manifold.

I wouldn't recommend changing the spark plug by yourself based upon your question.

well the reason i asked is because i read some where here that you can actually change the plugs with out removing the manifold, but that thread is long gone. and also because if there was a way to do it easier i would like to know. so please do not flame if you do not have the whole story. i didnt say i didnt know how to do it. i asked if there was another way to do it. thank you !!!

Taking the upper section of the intake manifold off only takes 5 minutes... who needs it to be any faster?

Yea its really not that bad. If you have some mechanical experience then its a walk in the park. I never worked on these cars before and I got the upper intake off in 15 minutes, and that was taking my time and noting where all the vacuum lines and stuff went.
