QUESTION: Thnaks again for the information, now is cylinder #6 in the front or the reat of the engine? And is there an easier way of getting to the plugs in the back of the engine without dismounting it?

Answer
look at the engine from the pass side   the plug that is closer to U  is number 1  and they will got 1,3,5   and 2,4,6
On the older vans  u can get to it by lifting the van in the air and getting to it that way   or taking off the wiper assembly and intake manifold and getting to them that way.
