to this day...i have no idea where/how to acess the spark plugs for the 4.6.

where are those pups?

 

which is where? over each cylinder?

 

Jon, each cylinder has a coil and an injector sitting on top of it. The coils are black. If you remove the set screw and pull it off, right under it is the plug.

 

Under the fuel rail you will see coil packs one next to each injector.....unbolt the coilpack and pull out the sleeve and at the bottom of ech one are the spark plugs.......

I cant believe YOU dont know this. :shifty:

 

thanks guys

 

wow I never realized how much of a PITA it is to change the plugs on the 4.6

 

It's actually pretty easy and I'm by no means any kind of a mechanic.....go to your local parts store and get a spark plug changing kit....it comes with a 3/8" drive FLEX ratchet, 3/8" extension 10",
3/8" drive Spark Plug Socket 5/8".....some anti seize lubricant and dielectric tune grease.....and a 99 cent gap tool.......The flex ratchet is key cause it allows you to move around the engine. The only thing I had to take off is my intake tube.

 

alright thanks. I thought i was gonna have to take off the fuel rails and everything

 

I don't think you'll need to do that if you get the flex ratchet......I was worried I was going to have to take off my shaker and fuel rails, but I didn't have to do either.

 

Here ya go

That's a killer write-up. Thanks rejekt... killer post.

 

wow that is a sweet write up....too bad i have like...one of those tools

 

I always pay to have mines changed!!!

 

I hear that, but I went to the parts store and what I needed for like $15 or so....I figured it was well worth it cause I can keep them forever

 

chaniung plugs is easy on our cars takes about 20-30 mins. Try it on a f150 with the long runner intake you will spend noramly 2-4 hours doing the plugs on those bitchs. It took me 6 hours my first time because the back 2 plugs on both sides are soo hard to get too.

 

That site has all kinds of Mustang maintenance and installs. It's a good site, I don't think he updates it anymore though. Still informative though. Thank you for thanking me! lol

 

Holy crap it took me forever to get one of the back plugs on the passenger side. I didnt have a flex, just a regular long extension. I ended up having to use a magnetic pickup tool to get the plug/socket out of the hole.

 

Great write up right there on our spark plug changes.
I had mine done like 10k miles ago.

 

im way overdue to change my plugs...


haha, that smiley looks like he's constipated or something...
