Avenger 2.5 Question

I'm having wet weather starting problems and suspect the plug wires,etc. BUT.....how the heck do you get to the 3 rear plugs? They're under the intake manifold! I've changed the wires and plugs on my Nissan Pathfinder (which wasn't alot of fun), but the Avenger looks brutal. Any idea what a shop would charge or time needed to replace those wires and plugs? Thanks.

Is this 2.5 the same one that was in the Cirrus and Stratus, or was it a different one?

It's not that hard to pull the intake plenum (upper manifold). Be sure to plug the lower intake manifold (on the engine) with paper towels so nothing falls inside, and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts. I changed my plugs in about an hour, and I took my time. Torque the bolts as follows:

Intake plenum: 13 ft lbs Intake plenum support, passenger side: 13 ft lbs Intake plenum support, driver side: 26 ft lbs
