Spark Plug Question HELP!

Hey. I just bought some NGK iridium plugs for my 96 Tacoma 3.4 liter. It has three wires on the side of the motor and I pulled them out and took the spark plugs out, replaced them. I then dont see any other wires that I can unplug to put my other three iN!! Its a V6 so there has to be three other plugs, or is it just 3? Because it runs fine right now, but I was just very very curious. Strange to me. Sorry if this is a NOOB question.

If it is a V6, you should find the remaining three on the opposite side of the block. Easy enough to follow the spark plug wires on the three you replaced back to the distributor. From the distributor, follow the remaining three back to their plugs.

The other 3 plugs are there, but tougher to reach. Keep looking.

I am not entirely sure about your 96 but on my 02 5VZFE V6, the remaining 3 plugs are on the opposite side of the block and you have to unbolt 3 coilpacks(1 for each plug) to get at the plugs..I thinks it's a 10mm bolt
