98 csvt . I have a check engine light. Took it to Advance, they said Cylinder 5 missfire. Which cylinder is #5? Please tell me its one of the 3 on the front side. If I change out to a fresh set of plugs and maybe wires, what all do I need to take off to get to the back 3 plugs?

Firewall side/transmission side. If you are looking at the engine then back, right.
Reading the plug tells a lot. (i.e. heavily fouled with oil, white spots, etc) If the plug looks fine and/or is replaced and same code.
Then change the wires. Recheck after 3 driving cycles.
After that change the coil pack. Recheck after 3 driving cycles.

If still misfiring on #5 it is more likely a more expensive problem like a bad injector or leaking cylinder.

This was fixed last week. Replaced all the plugs and reset the computer. No more missfire. No more CEL. Looking at the labels on the coil pack and following the plug wire, it showed #5 as the middle cylinder on the radiator side...?
