Well first find the coil pack, it is either on a braket on top of the engine or on the side of the engine, follow the a spark plug wire to it. Now remove one wire and that plug then replace that wire and plug. If you do this one at a time then you don't need to remember the firing order. Here is the firing order for the 3.0 ltr. Now if you include a pic of the top side of the engine I will see if there is anything else to remove to gain access. Here is the firing order.
