Really I can do a plug change in under an hour. You just need to have the right combination of extensions to get by the fuel rail and sensor.

I did my 97 GT in about one hour exactly (8 plugs). I walked into autozone and bought the OEM stock meant for the car motorcraft plugs. They are double platinum or something. Unless you are doing crazy mods, stock OEM plugs are all that you will need.

Generally when I do tuneup related stuff, I put in what it came from the factory with.

As far as I know bosch is a GM oriented plug?? You will want motorcraft or autolite (same exact plug different names) in your Mustang.


Peace

That aint no lie... much less to pull off on the right side to get to them.


Just checking.. you did pull your battery for a few min then put it back on just to clear it right? Anytime I get a code right after swaping something I try that. It never hurts.

mine cam on after installing new plugs because I didn't plug one of the fuel injectors in securely. I would start with checking every connection again and if one of them wiggles into place I would pull the battery again.
