Plugs?
Im looking for my spark plugs to replace them and all i could see were some black connectors beside my injectors under the fuel rail. Is that them the wires just looked too small to me,I prob sound retarted but just wanted to make sure.
The black connectors are C.O.P. or coil on plugs connectors and they are held in by a small screw which can be taken off with an extension and a wrench, I recommend you replace your spark plugs with motorcraft, but a good plug of your choice with do fine for your application. You will need a long extension with a spark plug socket to get to all the plugs because the fuel rail well be in your way. You dont need to take your fuel rail off like some may say. It can be done with it on and a long extension.

Use a torque wrench...and torque them down to 11lb-13lb. There alsois some controversy about using neversieze on the threads. But if your check the tightness every few months you should be good. Only change your plugs when your engine is cold or you could remove the threads. Due to the dissimliar metals.
