Take the dog house off and have at it.
Its pretty straight forward, though a couple plugs can be a pain.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You didn't say how manykilometers are on it now; are you having issues or just trying to be diligent regarding preventative maintenance? Electrically there isn't a whole lot to consider on newer vehicles. Quality plugs and wires are about it. Make sure you address the air and fuel filters as they are quick, easy, and cheap items to address that will seriously affect your van's performance. If you are having idle or acceleration issues and have already changed the filters, you may wish to look towards sensors such as the mass air flow sensor or the oxygen sensor. I've heard others comment on the ill effects of a week ignition pack so, if you are feeling really gung ho, you might want to have them tested. Mine is an `02 so I haven't went there, yet.

Good luck!
