Its not hard at all to change them. Just stand in the trunk and kind of huge the engine. Kind of hard to describe but nothing hard about it.

it does sound like you plug wires are worn and not holding the right amount of spark. i will email my friend who works on these cars and see what he says

doesn't sound like plug wires to me. Sounds like you have an issue that is heat related. Crank or cam sensor is going bad is my bet. Warms up, the coil in the sensor expands and causes an issue.
