There technically are no wires. Its a coil pack system. The coils sit ontop of the plugs. If it was me i would change the coilpacks. I did that when i first got mine. But idk.

also it would hurt to change your tranny and diff fluid unless you know for sure the last time they were done. . .

Basic Tune Up List

1. Fuel Filter every 10k
2. Air Filter every 10k
3. PCV Valve every 10-20k
4. Plugs every 60k
5. Belt
6. Oil Change every 3k

Those are the basics...the Coil Packs are kinda expensive so you might not want to do those

Here is a est price on the above list:

1. Motorcraft apprx. 10-12 dollars
2. Motorcraft apprx. 10-12 dollars
3. PCV goes for about 2-3 dollars
4. Motorcraft apprx 12-16 dollars
5. Gates apprx. 45-50 dollars
6. Motorcraft 5w20 blend 10 dollars + another Qt for about 2 dollars
Motorcraft Filter FL820S apprx. 3-4 dollars

I did not mention your cooling system but being that Winter is almost here.....Might want do at least check your levels and Color.

Hope this helps
