Just look at the location of the plugs and determine if you can even get at them without jumping thru hoops. I couldn't find specifics on this car but a good look will tell. Can you even get your hand on the boots at the plugs?

It can be a hassle without some fancy tools and sometimes (don't know for this model) you need to tilt engine and things like that! Use OE recommended parts for this,

Thanks Tom, looks like if I remove the coil pack assembly I may be able to get to the rear plugs. The car started sputtering and an occasional backfire a week or so ago, check engine light came on two days ago, I stopped by Advanced Auto today for them to read the code. What he told me was it needs a tune up. Before I replace the coil pack, I want to change the plugs and wires first. Does this make sense?

At the age the plugs and wires wouldn't be a waste. You could just mist (water) the coil packs and area high voltage stuff and see if you see problems that show right up when damp. If you see it on a coil they have to go,
