If the 92 is like the 97 (the plug is buried under the intake manifold) I managed to remove and replace the wire with extra long needle nosed pliers. As for the plug itself, I used a 18 inch ratchet extension that my friend had. It still wasn't any fun...

i just pulled all the little stuff off or pushed it to the side (hoses, wires etc), fit the socket on the plug from under the intake plenum, and ran a few extensions as one long piece into the drive end of the socket, between the intake pipes... not enough room the clear the socket, but enough for the extension (took about 12-18" too.....)
