Changing spark plugs?

The engines that have the problem with the spark plugs is the 5.4L 3 valve engine! Your is not too bad to do the plugs on! A couple notes; Do this when the engine is cool! When removing the coilpacks keep them in order, mark them (they are the same but, it is advisable to keep them in the same location, wipe them off and check them carefully for cracking and discoloration, use a small amount of anti-seize compound on the threads of the new spark plugs, And use some dielectric grease on the plug ends of the coilpack boots!

Ford's can get difficult but they're really not that bad. The Windstars are the worst in my opinion. But you really don't need to change the spark plugs till around 100K miles. The car is only 6 years old, so changing the plugs for maintenance is kind of pointless unless the car has that long mileage on it.

If the car wasn't taken care of and the plugs are hard to get out, just remember NOT to force them out. you'll snap the plugs in half and then have some REAL trouble on your hands. If they're hard getting out (and this is actually with anything) when they start getting tough to loosen, you tighten it back a couple turns, then loosen it until it starts to get tough again, then a couple more turns to tighten and loose again and so on and so on till it's out.

All else fails, bring it in.
