I mistaked the fuel injectors at first for the other 3 and spued gasoline allover...now the injectors seem to have play left to right after I put them all back, is that normal?
Where are the other 3 spark plugs?

the engine is a v6 so the plugs would be in the same place on the opposite side

Does anyone know how to get to the back three spark plugs?Those are on coils. Do I have to take off the intake manifold to get to them?

Answering my own question, just in case anyone else is wondering too...
Just got it done. Did not have to remove manifold. Did need a mirror to see the holes. Used 6 inch ratchet extension to get into the holes to remove and replace the plugs, and there was plenty of room for it. Remove the clips and plugs from the coils. Each has two screws that must be removed to remove the coil which are simple to remove and replace. Pull the coil out, pull plug, replace and put it back together. I did all 6 this morning in 45 minutes.
