Default Stupid 4cyl with 8 plugs HELP

i need to replace my plugs and wires they are in really sad shape. i have a few questions. Does it matter what wire plugs in to a certain plug. or if i just ripped them all off i can put them back any place. Also what do i have to remove besides the intake throttle body and all to get to other plugs....

any cheap places to get the 8 plugs and wires

No it doesnt matter as long as you have some insane luck or dont want your car to run. haha ya they do matter as far as i know.but they should be labelled. easiest thing would to either do them one at a time or write down which go where.

Changing wires are easy, just take on off at a time, and put a new one on. It is probably the most un-complicated maintanence issue on ANY car, ever. Well, right there with checking, and topping off fluids. Why should you spend $100 to have a mechanic do what you can, in your garage/drive way.

uhhhhh you shouldnt have to take anything off to get the plugs out, but it won't be fun either way. you need to get u joints/swivels and drive extensions, but taking all that stuff off is just gonna end up taking you longer.
